You're in luck! Because some of the ICs come in lots of 10, I had to order enough parts for 20 units. So I can potentially accommodate a couple stragglers (3 units max.) :)

Up to 37 so far. Awesome! :awesome: Some folks had questions about shipping costs-- just to be clear, I'm covering the initial shipping costs from China. You are only responsible for paying for shipping from my location (Florida) to yours. You can PM me here or on Discord (YveltalGriffin#8080)...

Hi all. @CrazyGadget mentioned to me that he and others in the community may be interested in a group buy for the popular 3.5" 640*480 LCDs with VGA/HDMI driver board. These are scalped sold on Aliexpress by Wisecoco as "JT035IPS02-V0" for around $65. A "Yqwsyxl" branded one is also available on...

All right, Stoned makes 17! Preorders are now closed! I'm covering the initial cost of parts because I don't feel comfortable charging you guys 3+ weeks before I'm able to ship devices. Keep an eye on the thread for updates-- I'll post photos of the parts and PCBs once they arrive, as well as...

This was my first MGC, and it was super fun! My flight left eaaarly in the morning. Rough day of traveling for this night owl! But it was all worth it once I saw the infamous "Recombobulation Area" at MKE. Sweet view of the skywalk from my hotel window! Like cy mentioned, on Friday we all...

Thanks for all the interest, everybody! We're at 16 boards so far. :awesome: Preorders will close tomorrow (Friday, April 7). Then I'll be placing orders for the PCBs and components this weekend. Btw, I've made some very small changes to the board design. First, the USB-C port will now work...

Well, I'm back from MGC, so I can continue documenting the build process! On Feb 26 I retrimmed the cut-in-half mobo, removing the top section where the ports used to be. However, I realized that I hadn't left a wide enough gap between the two mobo halves. There wasn't enough slack in the...

To show you the power of portablizing... ...I cut this board in half! Taking a page out of @tzmwx 's book on this one! Seriously, thanks for the inspiration, dude. Your Saturn mods are incredible. Welcome to magnet wire hell! Soldering right to the traces was mandatory due to the relocated...

[This is a retroactive worklog for the PS1 portable I built for MGC 2023. I may have to double post a bit to document everything!] Last month, I was feeling burned out from working on so many complicated, difficult projects involving custom PCBs. What better way to get my groove back than some...

These "preorders" will close around April 5 (or earlier if we hit 20 boards). Then I'll collect payment once all the boards are built and tested. So payment will likely be due the last week of April, since quite a few parts have to ship from China.

Hi all! I will be building a small run of fully assembled & tested Shinobi Scalers in April (after MGC). This thread is to gauge interest and determine how many PCBs I need to order. These boards will be built with 100% new parts and will come pre-programmed with the GBS Control firmware...

This is my Retro Lite CM4, designed by @Dmcke5 and @StonedEdge! It's a Switch Lite style handheld powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Many thanks to my friend StonedEdge for hooking me up with a kit last fall. It took me a little while to get around to assembling the unit, but I'm...

Looks like that's a PM-41 (2) which has the GPU RAM combined into the GPU. The pinout is "rotated" slightly compared to the original GPU, but you can still grab H-Sync and V-Sync from these convenient solder pads! Pin 64 is VSYNC and Pin 65 is HSYNC.

Right there with you, every place has their own preferred way to do things. Hopefully JLC's VIPPO is decent! The preview pics they post online do show dimples, so it's probably not quite as good as a big-time fabhouse. But hey, can't argue with free! :P

This worklog has been an absolute joy to read! Really professional designs and great workmanship-- can't wait to see your assembly process. Clever idea to use an inverter on the DSP CE line! Out of curiosity, why wouldn't nonconductive fill be suitable for the BGAs in your design? I was under...

I think they're all in stock again. Nature is healing! BQ25895, TLV62095 and TPS61232

Just for future reference, that's a PAM8803 amplifier. "PAM8803" or "4Ω 3w amp" are the best search keywords and it's available on eBay and Amazon.

R6 on your PIF breakout board appears to be labeled "01Y", which means 1Ω. It should be 1kΩ based on the trimming guide. Maybe you should verify all the resistor values on the PIF board?

LINK TO GITHUB REPO Shinobi Scaler 2 is a reimagined, miniaturized GBS8200 for portablizers. Like the original GBS8200, it can convert 240p and 480i RGBs to 480p/720p/960p/1080p VGA, making it perfect for connecting retro video game consoles to modern LCDs. Features 50 x 47mm 4-layer PCB...

Another Akira method convert! Love to see it. Be sure to run some long-duration gameplay tests. Sometimes the mobo boots, but won't be perfectly stable in-game when loading cart data. I solved it on mine by adding some more decoupling caps and an extra Vterm wire next to the termination resistors.
