This is a little off-topic as it's not electronic in nature plus I made this a couple of years ago, but since it's Thanksgiving (for the non-US, you can play along), I thought I'd share it. For a few years now I've been making homemade egg noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas family feasts. I...

That’s not entirely accurate. I was in the “going with SD because that’s what I have” boat at first and it worked without usb, just not well. It was slow to boot up, the startup video didn’t play, and my mp3s wouldn’t randomize. Wii games wouldn’t play at all. I then picked up a cheap flash...

Had a bit of time to do some more modding tonight... Completed my board trim. Didn't get a chance to wire it up for testing yet though. Want to get the edges sanded clean first and make sure there are no shorts.

Sorry I learned modding from old Bond villains.

Although I hate having multiple projects going at once, I need some parts in order to continue my PNP console but I’m currently saving cash for Christmas, so I wanted to switch to something I already had parts on hand for. My only completed 64p to date is the Luma 64, a portable that, while I...

Are there known good/bad flash drives for this method? Or is it pretty much a matter of ‘if the pi can read it you’re good’?

Reading the title I thought this was going to be a torte thread.

Been finding some time here and there to work on this again, so it’s time to update this thread. Basically had to start by clearing off my workbench since it got to be a dumping ground of miscellaneous stuff. I started thinking about how the small amount of guts would fit into the case and...

Happy birthday Aurelio!

Finally got around to doing the additional testing that I promised.

Reviving this year-old dead thread with nothing of value to contribute. I heard that’s against the rules or something, so ban me or whatever. Happy birthday, you cheesy meme!

Ay box_roller! Yours is one of my fave portables of all time! Didn’t realize you were already a member here.

Sure, I’ll try to get that for you this weekend. @The Save State Gamer i still haven’t forgotten about you. Just haven’t had a chance to set up retropie yet plus my 4GB+ microSDs are currently in modded DSes. I’ll look into picking up a cheap card tonight.

Sweet deal! I bought a second one for $10 and he shipped 2 (again). So I’m at 4 screens for $20! I have the feeling this guy is trying to offload his stock a la Fruity_Grebbles. Either that or he thinks he’s gonna hustle the scene by hooking us on cheap screens before jacking up his price. Oh...

FYI - I checked out the seller’s other items and he has some listings where he’s selling bundles of 10 or 100 of these screens. I almost pulled the trigger on the 10-lot since it comes out to $5/screen, but I really don’t need that many screens.

Got my order in a few days earlier than expected (USPS tracking sucks) and was pleasantly surprised: the seller shipped 2 screens for some reason even though I only paid for one! Ok, sounds great unless the screens suck. So what's the verdict? I tried powering it from a 5V cell phone charger...

Happens with a lot of backup monitors I’m afraid. What’s the new plan - dalian good screen?

I thought I remember him saying once that he bought them with the community in mind, which is honestly a pretty cool thing to do. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the comment: “we should buy these in bulk so that they’re cheaper than buying individually.” Just to let you know...

Don't have a nomad but have all 3 genny models so I'll test those plus Wii and 64 and snap some pics for you guys. Just got the shipping notification email. Have another week to wait. At least it's not shipping from China.

I just bought one because why the heck not. If it's a dud I consider that taking one for the team. When it gets here I'll test it and report back. Most interested to see if it works on older consoles since all the 3 and 4" screens I bought lately have frequency/scrolling issues. Any specific...
