Hey, we've all been there. I had a screen I used once with capacitive touch buttons, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to wire them up to work with tact switches. I literally hot glued the remote control right next to the button PCB with the IR LEDs facing each other and wired the...

That looks dope, man. Very well done for a first attempt. IIRC my table didn't seem to pull in all the ultra-fine details like the dimples in the table. I also regretted standing the wood off the table so much...trimming the sheet just to get the mold out was a nightmare. Of course, you are...

Just got all the gear moved into a vacant downstairs room! My bedroom is the main pad, but as of late it's become my little brother's Minecraft nest :eyeroll: Pictured are two other projects I'm pretty proud of – a rack for all my stringed instruments to live on, and the world's least...

I had good results with my first (and only) vacuum formed case, using HIPS. I've heard that ABS is a lot harder to work with, and I was very satisfied with the machinability of my case. Very easy to take off slivers with an x-acto knife, for instance. If you haven't, check out Downing's case...

Eh, button placements are more arbitrary than anything at this point. I more or less traced them 1:1 from the old case just to get them in the design. Tonight, I built a cardboard mockup that has given me a better idea of how it'll play. I'm considering moving the C buttons a lot closer to the...

Thanks, man. I have to say, vacuum forming cases really appeals to me. The only reason I'm not doing it again is I'm stoked to try out some 3D printing to compare. For anyone considering building a table, it was way easier than expected and worked like a champ. I had a lot of anxieties going...

Hello all! I had a ton of fun making my first portable N64 quite a few years ago, and was very satisfied with the result, but had a few issues with it down the road. I used more hot glue than I'd like to admit, had spaghetti-wiring up the wazoo, often had the batteries come loose and flop...

You've certainly got an eye for aesthetics. I second the comments that that case front has the most attention to detail and impressive frankencasing I've seen. I'm 100% stealing a logo from a cartridge in the future. Between our avatars, we've got plenty of disapproving stares looking down on...

Huge fan of the extended cartridge...could function as a more elegant version of those boxes everyone builds to shroud the cart slot. I also used a superpad, but the asymmetric-style one shown on the left above. Here's what the board looked like. Considering the backside is all through-hole...
