Well, after really thinking about how my case and controller is designed I found that I won't be able to cut the case in half and have it "Clamshell" open. With how I mounted the triggers I have to have access from the top to get to the screws that remove the internal parts of the triggers...

LOL!! Just a ton of JB Weld on the outside and 6lbs of hot glue covering everything on the inside!! :XD: Thanks man!! It's bigger than most but it's been a really fun build and a great learning experience. Still thinking about adding in a GBA player board since the case is so big... would...

That philosophy by Ben Heck is actually what inspired the design. Everything can be taken out/replaced with pretty much OEM parts for the most part... didn't want to get too crazy with my first build. :) The full plan I came up with was to cut the case in half around the edges so the top and...

Do you think I should keep some of the screws open SS? Originally I was going to leave the case where the bottom and sides would be one piece and then the top would just unscrew to take it apart. I redesigned it because I wasn't sure how the screws on the top would look and hold up under...

Looking back I guess I could have used some Hex screws, that would've looked pretty sweet but killer on the hands while playing. :) Got the controller wiring managed a bit better, here is a pic of the back of the top. Since I plugged the better screen into the external A/V out and...

Thanks!! Yeah, I'm actually planning to cut the case in half, (got everything taken apart now), cover all the screw holes and then have it clamshell open. Since it's all hand made that was the best way I figured to go. I'm hoping to get a vacuum former built soon... or have my buddy that does...

Dang Amazon and their crafty marketing, lol!! My link came out as an ad too... I had to click the "Share" to get it to give me a real link to share. Thanks again for your help!! I can't wait to get started on my PS2p project, this has been the biggest hold up for me so far was the VGA video. :)

Ok, here is the last post to bring everything up to speed as it sits today. :) The "Alpha" Stage: Ok, so the original plan had everything planned to be set into the case 180 degrees from how it ended up. This is so that the disc drive would fit under the "disc" sized PSOne screen but it just...

Here I have all the controls epoxied into place and I started trying to wrangle all the wiring into a nicer looking and as short as possible path. I added some more structure to the later that I still need to take a picture of but this is where it began. :) Scary enough I bought two original...

Well, it seems that I have missed the bandwagon by a few years when it comes to making portable console systems and such. Even though people have moved on to bigger and better things I decided to try my hand at a GameCube Portable I’ve named “GameCube Proto Ver. 1”. Since this is my first...

Are you referring to a VGA converter something like the one below? https://amzn.com/B003NUN7DG Ahhh, yeah I seen and read over a lot of Ashen's posts for his PS2p but couldn't figure out what he did to finally get it to work, lol!! Thanks for helping out, your portable is AWESOME, just hope...

Nice!! I've been looking all around different forums and Google etc. to try and find the answer to this but; is there a good thread or something on the subject of hooking up the video "RGB using VGA converter to get H/V sync"? Sorry to ask, I just can't seem to find a straight answer...
