Glad you can get some use out of it!

6/29/2026: The PCBs that I designed finally have arrived along with all of the components! I soldered everything together and put an Atari Test Pattern on the screen to test with a Raster Yoke. For those who don't know CRTs use a magnetic deflection coil called a yoke. The electron beam is...

Well played, well played.

Introduction: Around December of 2025 and January of 2026, I fiddled with the idea of creating a Vector CRT similar to the Vectrex. I had a good starting point with custom amplifiers that I made, but they didn't really go anywhere—so I'm starting again here hopefully to finish for this...

Thanks for your compliment! This doesn't have an RF tuner inside natively, but it is 100% possible to add one with the breakout system. If you do, let me know!

Doing something different for a first project might be the way to go. It seems like you're not extremely experienced with a soldering iron and soldering to pins on ICs. I wish you the best of luck, but damaging some of finite population of N64 motherboards might be not be the way to go right now.

Glad to help, I'll keep you posted if I can get it working.

Well said @cy! Thanks so much for your compliment!

Thanks so much! The corners hurt just as much as James said!

This is my faithful replica of the James Channel $60 SNES Portable. I built it in November of 2025 and it matches almost everything on James' Portable. The only things that aren't the same is the power switch and the controller, which is not a PAL controller. Other than that, it is an extremely...

Hello everyone, Merry Chirstmas! My Santa this year got me a Five nights at Freddy's Funko POP and a Modded GameBoy Advance SP with a charger! Thanks so much, your gifts means so much! I've already had loads of fun playing Pokemon and other games on it. Also I loved your choice of wrapping...

Amazing job! It turned out so well.

Thanks so much for third place! It means the world to me! The CRT Micro was a blast to design and make, and I’m trilled I got to share it with you. Huge congrats to everyone who was a part of this competition this year! Great job!

Thanks so much for your kind words and for checking my project out! I'm thrilled that you recognized all the hard work I put into it. :)
