Nobody failed harder than Palmer, it's true.

A certificate came through the post to tell me I was qualified in massage therapy. I forgot I even studied that part of my course

I'm really impressed that I haven't had to lock this thread or warn people. Well done internet.

Also, i'm pretty sure that the Gamecube only outputs 480p if you have the component cable from Nintendo which is pretty pricey for a cable and not an issue for the Wii, considering interlaced video looks horrible on an LCD most of the time

I don't see why you needed to bump a thread over a year old...

Clear disc trays are cool, forever ago I got a modded Xbox and you can watch the disc spin and stuff. I like it. Good paint job too, although I do have to tell you i'm afraid that's not fuchsia haha

https://handheldlegend.com/pages/game-boy-pocket-backlight-install This link has some useful information about installing a backlight into your GBP, along with what resistor to use (100/150ohm, if you was wondering) and where to solder it to.

Front facing cartridge slot gives me serious Benheck throwback vibes from like, 2005. A weird thing to be nostalgic about I guess, but still it's the first thing I thought of.

I walk around a factory and look at machines and go "yeah that seems to be running okay" some days. Some other days I strip dead skin and hair off peoples body parts.

A HDMI screen would be 16:9 when most PS2 games aren't, the PS2 doesn't support HDMI and has one game that runs over 480p (Gran Turismo 4, for the curious), and converters aren't really cheap. Personally i'd go with composite, looks like poo but it's only a small screen.

No need to be sorry

Ooh frankencasing. 3D printed is nice, but I do appreciate a good frankencase, also your design is nice and looks pretty comfortable, and it plays MGS3 so it gets my approval.

They run all the run same operating system, and honestly have pretty similar power... at a push you might get N64 and Dreamcast out of the RasPi 3 but the real hardware would be so much better in those cases, none of them can run Higan so you have to deal with the meh SNES9X sadly, PS1 probably...

Ha, my very first PC (well, my dads, but I lived with him because i'm his son?) had a Pentium MMX @ 166mhz. Played Half-Life and Unreal very nicely. Something like 32MB of RAM? later upgraded to 64MB because certain games required it? We stuck a 3D Accelerator in it because I got Might & Magic...

I've used S-Video like once, it was marginally better than composite and yeah, the connector isn't great. Component cables for older consoles are hard to get a hold of to
