Wow, that's unfortunate. Everything looks great so far, keep it up and good luck with the reprint!

I have found my people

Nice! Cabinet work is beyond me so I have a healthy appreciation for MAME cabinet makers and the like. Id love to see a vid of these in action!

Daw @GingerOfOz, I feel for you buddy. Been there done that. Good luck with all!

Agreed!

Any modding work so far has been done on the floor/kitchen table/living room/pc desk and the like. It's been less than ideal. I figured that if I'm going to do any more electronics work, it needs its own dedicated workspace. I picked an empty wall of the basement and got busy. Luckily, I had...

After some second thoughts on using my original router case, I've decided to CAD design a new one myself. It will be 3D printed on my 200 x 200 bed printer, so it has to be relatively small. I figured that having real physical parts in my hands would help me design where everything will fit and...

This is good to know. I'm planning to use these in combo with a fan, but now I'm reconsidering to save space. Haven't designed my case yet, so it still could be pretty cramped in there.

Nice, I always thought it'd melt on contact, good to know. If I'm remembering right it's a 5" screen. That case is actually an old AT@T 2WIRE Router shell. It was juuuuuust a hair too shallow in depth so I cut a "spacer" out of 1/4 in plywood and it made all the difference. The plan was to...

Yep, it's been taped. I would have used some heat shrink tubing but I don't like the idea of blasting that area with heat just for that. lol Thanks for the catch tho!

Just a quick update Bridged the necessary 3.3v lines across the back of the board and added the 2k resistor for good measure. My flimsy cart slot wiring mostly made it through after flipping the board over so many times, so I resoldered the stragglers. Popped an expansion pack in and she booted...

What points should I solder to? Should I reveal some copper in those areas or do something like Nold did here? (Diddnt know if those resistors were a good spot to drop my wires)

Thank you @Pacal, those are what I couldn't find all sleepy last night. Could be. However, they were working consistently before so don't know how they'd be an issue now. If all else fails, I'll rewire that as well.

Today I had a go at trimming the board. Since the cart slot had been relocated already, I double checked everything was working before I started. Turns out that a "White-Out" pen is perfect for writing on boards (couldn't find a sharpie). I traced my line just a little bigger just in case my...

Thanks @Noah. And yeah, this thread is already a work log of sorts so you have the green light from me.

This was actually a collage from my phone a couple years back. It was easiest at the time. I imagine it's a bit less convenient if youre using an actual camera And thanks! ^-^

This case is sick. Might have to adopt some of its swag for my own case build

Thanks! The first version used a full controller mobo so I'm looking into the popular cut.

I'd like to give a thank you to all who participate in this community. While I am a lurker and have not made contact with many of you, you all inspire me with your creativity and problem-solving finesse. The positivity here is a rare force that can only produce great ideas and even more amazing...

Gman this truly is some amazing work. Just seeing how stupid small things can get with the LMAO trim and a ton of hardwork truly inspires me! Keep conjuring whatever magic you do bro. Seriously tho, the mans a wizard... just sayin
