Hard to find time this year, but I made some progress! SD-Card-Pins traced to the last possible pads & working. Finished G1-ATA Pinout for trimmed DC yesterday.. DS is now booting from CompactFlash :) Also RTC-Battery, controller & FAN-Fix are connected to different pins. Still need to wire...

Which amp are you using? You could lower the input-level using a resistor/potentiometer connected to ground & audio-input of the amp. But that might not be a sufficient solution..

Nice work! And great to see the progress, you made from your first portable. keep it up.

... me, too :D

This looks so nice & clean! Awesome work.. especially because it's your first portable!

Since I'll be gone for a week & don't know if i get any more work done this year, I wanted to do at least a last post on here. I can already tell, that 2018 will be the year of the Dreamcast Portable(s)! There are so many good people working on awesome stuff, so I'm already really exited to see...

Hi, I've setup a simple Nextcloud (free "dropbox" alternative) on my private server. I thougth it might be nice for some collaboration & maybe for filesharing (non-copyrighted stuff of cause ;-)) @Aurelio, @BocuD & me are already on there :) Registration is opened ATM & I'll pull everybody in...

I noticed, i've never really said "hello" ^^ ... ... so, I'm Gerrit aka Nold, 27 years old by now & living in germany. I'm a Linux SysAdmin, doing a lot of configuration management, automation & customizing stuff mostly. I love free software (as in freedom, not beer :P) and so I'm trying to...

you're welcome! If you need any more help, feel free to pm me in discord :) To lazy to write today.. teaser must be enoth.. :P

IIRC the hal-sensors will generate a changing current. They are connected to op-amps (NJM2100) which will translate the changing current into a changing voltage, which the controller-chip understands. So basically you can connect a potentiometer to VCC/GND & the controller-chip without any...

Still doing a lot of research.. I'm pretty much done with the pinout of the controller chip.. I can tell you can connect a 3DS-Slider without any issue to a DC-Controllerchip, just by removing the Op-Amps after the hal-sensors.. and it's working like a charm! :) I also did OMGWTF-Trim my...

Thanks mate! The Stick is from a 3rd-party Gamecube controller, so it's just like it is... but yea, it fits just perfectly :D

Thanks guys! :) Damn, playing with REAL sticks just feels sooooo good! Soon come! Case arrived today. But the screen still will need some days/weeks :( ... So i have at least a few portable-free days & and some time to enjoy gaming! ;-)

So without loosing much words.. My second portable, the "Pad64", is finally done! The final specs: - n64 pal "lite"-trim + RAM extention - CNT-NUS Controller-Chip + n64-stick-converter & GC analogstick - Frankencase with custom 3d-printed parts (you'll find here also) - 5" 4:3 LCD @ composite -...

... oh man! Murphy hit me hard finishing this project! First I noticed that my case is too thin.. So I improviced a new heatsink.. i knew i still had a piece of brass & some small ram heatsings lying around.. and it fit!.. but since the board was getting too hot with it, i needed to add a fan...

your workspace looks pretty nice! Can't wait to see your vacuum forming :)

... and we're gonna build a HUGE portable with that! And I'm gonna make ShockSlayer pay for it! ;-)

Sadly my 2.5" IDE doesn't seem to work with the g1-ata.. but i'me not amazed, since they didn't work with the GameCubes IDE-EXI, too.. He find's the FAT32 partition but then failes... Anyway.. I worked out all the Pinouts I needed :) (See here...

I took some time off and took a deeper look into the dreamcast. Here are the results! VGA- & Composite-Video, Audio & SD-Card wiring Nothing special here... The filters for R, G, B, composite (and luma/chroma) can even be removed. Got no problems with a long VGA-Cable. (H/V = Sync for VGA)...
