3D printer up and running. I'll run a test print for the GC portable first. Pics to follow. Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

Started piecing together a 3D printer to prototype the case. Using a RepRap style printer board (RAMPS). Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

On my side project of the Game Cube portable, here's a pic of how I addressed the cooling/heat sink issue: Yeah, the inside Dremel job is a little fugly, but it does the job. The original GC fan was 3". This one is 1" and super quiet... Only about 3/8" thick and EXCELLENT air flow. I...

Couldn't get the filter to reattach, so I connected the leads and hope I won't have to deal with RF issues. I'll attach the SD reader to this port. Solder connections in upper right, left of the circle silkscreen (capacitor bed). Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

Oh, I forgot... I ordered replacement 100uF 16v caps in a slightly smaller package so I can lay them flat against the board. more on that later (when they get here). Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

So, first hack job was reducing the size of the USB hub. In addition to the micro USB connector, I need only two USB ports (SD reader & external for expansion). Most hubs have three or four ports, so I went cheap and got an inexpensive Amazon Essentials four port. Once I got the case off, this...

Another benefit of this screen is it already has battery charging and managing on it. I can leverage its use of standard, replaceable rechargeable camera batteries to power the whole system. All I'll need is one little $6 Pololu power converter (for the 3v game controller power). The OUYA should...

Understood. Not a problem in this case.

Sorry it's been so long. Here are some pictures of the components I'll be using. - The monitor is a Lilliput 569GL-50NP. It is a 5" 1080p monitor with HDMI in (and out), a speaker/headphone jack, and front control panels. The YPbPr inputs are included, but not necessary for my needs. It also...

2 hours would be ideal. Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

No luck on wired PS3/DS3 controller. Looks like I still have to hack the OUYA wireless controller. Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

So far, Gaurudon doesn't work. Allegedly, if you wire in a PS3 controller, it works. I'll have to try, and if so, I'll exchange the wired 360 one for a DualShock. Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

I'll have the 360 controller later today so I'll let you know if I have any issues with MAME, Clark, Gaurodan, or Soul Fjord. Here's a quick pick of the 5" screen, OUYA and OUYA controller, before hacking. Hacker. Designer. Engineer.

Quick update... I got the Lilliput 5" screen. It's a great device. Very clear. The included headphone jack is great (it'll save me time wiring it up). It will almost be a crime to remove the BNC component connectors on the back, but the built-in HDMI out would give me the option to output to a...

Great suggestion, Ashen. That's a neat screen, and I'll probably cross-post it for someone who asked about a VGA option on OUYABoards.com. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
