I started my life of electronics by... Looking up “electronics” in my parents’ encyclopedia. :facepalm: Did a smol soldering project in high school just to get my feet wet. It was supposed to be an FM transmitter but I never verified that it actually worked. My electronics interest started...

I feel ya, man. I can’t get anything done until after fibs jr. and fibs jr. jr. are in bed. Even then I tend to gravitate toward Skyrim or something other than modding. You’ve got a great start on this project already! Looking forward to further progress!

Bold choice with the duct tape. But at least

Good call! @darkwing actually did that very thing!

Considering all the rage of raspi portables, I was wondering why someone hasn’t just recased an Xperia Play. It already has built in controls that you could break out if you wanted to wire up squishy tacts. It has built in battery that charges from any microUSB. Emulation is a lot easier to set...

I went out and bought a brand new $10 3rd party controller with no bells and whistles. (related link) I picked it because it looked very similar to the old 1st party controllers and so far I've had good luck with the SNES lookalike controllers. This one, not so much. The down button is really...

The guide shows the cut as close to the expansion pak as you cut, so I think you may be ok without reconnecting those traces. I would still recommend a little sanding to smooth out those cuts. The blue lines in the guide are so that you reconnect the 3.3v line on various spots of the board...

I was actually considering making an “Ultimate” (reeeeeee) Gameboy for this contest, but I suppose I’ll save it for a future event. Looking forward to how this progresses!

20 gauge should be sufficient for power and composite. Is the composite soldered to your screen board? It kind of looks like it’s just jammed into the connector. Check continuity from the composite pin on the N64 to the input on your screen board (not on the connector, but on the board itself)...

Ok, it's time to get my 2018 contest submission underway! For my entry I will be dipping largely into my spare parts to make a fairly simple portable. In this case, I have the NES portion of a damaged Retron 3 that I would like to portablize. Wow. Building a NOAC portable for a competition that...

...because it is SHOCKSLAYER’S BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday Grand Piglord!

I’ve been revisiting this thread because TrueSonic has been sharing his DC woes in the Discord. Saw this from the first post that I must have missed the first time around: So is it probable that my old ebay-found DC has a bad PSU? It occasionally restarts on its own. Usually if I leave it...

https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/rules.41/ Rule 2: don’t bump old threads, mate. Also, since this wasn’t your thread to begin with, it would be best to start your own thread in the Buying section.

I still do! I should really upgrade though. That phone has not aged well.

Looks more like a weathered bronze plaque. But, you know, silver. *cough* feature! Looks great! I know that portablizing kits has been something that comes up from time to time, so nice to see someone with the experience and gear step forward to meet the demand.

Here you go. Small scratch on the screen is worth noting. Copy of Emerald is not up for offer. Sorry.

How important are cosmetics? I’m guessing since you don’t care for a reshelled SP it might be a turn off, but I have an SP that I could part with. Case is scuffed up badly on the outside and some kid named Seth decided to scratch his name on the lid, but the screen is in great shape and it...

Yay! More people using abs slurry! Was worth the wait on the pics. This looks really good. Welcome to the community, by the way! Every portable should shine like that!

Hey Mills! I’m going to sidestep all of the political stuff because... well, because I’m just some guy trying to do my part to make this community as positive and welcoming as possible and I think that you’ve been remarkable at taking a lot of criticism as graciously as possible. Having said...
