    Downing's Latest N64p Commission: Hesline 64

    Well, not been a whole lot of progress, but I did get just about everything wired up aside from the board and power. But, 2 new PAL boards arrived earlier this week, so I'm hoping this weekend I can get some serious progress made and get moving on to some other projects. But here's a glimpse...

    Downing's Latest N64p Commission: Hesline 64

    Hahaha, nice Geb, and I bet you run around popping little kids balloons and taking the tennis balls off of the elder's walkers as well right?

    Downing's Latest N64p Commission: Hesline 64

    Sorry, I giggle. This thing can use any stick you want to wire it too basically. You can use sliders even. This project is using a PS3 pot.

    Downing's Latest N64p Commission: Hesline 64

    He everyone! Long time since my last post I agree, but I just wanted to get a WIP started up for a new commission that I took on for a customer in Australia. This is probably the most advanced N64 I'd done to date as it uses all custom printed PCBs, custom controller and audio amp (all...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    Thanks man! Gotta make some more updates on this as I have made quite a bit of progress, but so much time to document updates, I just don't have it. hehe

    N64 Portable

    Very nice man, I was hoping I'd see some pictures of the guts of the project. Love how you laid out all the non-mountable boards in the footprint of the screen, very clever and big space saver. Again, impressive work and glad to see the shared files being put to good use!

    3D Printed N64p Casing - Unfinished - $60

    Yeah, I think it's .4mm. It's pretty coarse and I printed this using .3mm layer height.

    3D Printed N64p Casing - Unfinished - $60

    It's because it's a "modular" print. What you see there are actually 5 different 3D printed pieces. 2 brackets and 2 face plates and the cart cover. You wouldn't think that would make a difference but the fact it reduces print head travel time by quite a bit (going from one side to the other or...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    By the looks of it, it's a VA 1. Not that most ears will be able to tell the difference, both revisions are only Mono out which is a jumbled mess anyway. hehe. Yeah, you got me on the Reloaded pic. It's actually a Game Cube D-Pad. It's been awhile since that one was completed...early memory...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    Glad you like the work, much appreciated also! As for your questions. 1. This is an original Gen 3 mother board, the smallest that the original hardware ever came. 2. I chose it because it's what I used on the original GeneBoy and GeneBoy Reloaded. Honestly, when using tact switches for your...

    3D Printed N64p Casing - Unfinished - $60

    Hey guys, I've got a spare 3D printed N64 casing I'm looking to unload. This was for my kit commission that I was doing but because the addition of new components for that kit, the casing had several redesigns and needed to be printed again. Since I'll most likely be using those from now one...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    Finished off the case work yesterday. Came out a bit more "sparkly" than I wanted but for a 3D printed case, I'm not going to complain about it. This "Glitter Blast" textured spray paint laid over a base of filler primer and black metallic finishes does a remarkable job of covering the...

    RDC/Downing's PTH08080 Breakout Boards

    So RDC and I have been working a few new components to make modding life a little easier the first one we've completed is a breakout board for the TI PTH08080WAZ and WAH regulators. At the sacrifice of a little bit of space, the ability to now securely mount and easily solder to the component...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    They are called "TL-9000" for the manufacturer part number, but you won't find them only by that name anyplace you can actually purchase them. Ebay is the way to go with these guys. http://r.ebay.com/uAo6sT

    The Basics of 2D CNC Machining

    Guess I've got some updating to do! This guide was a WIP that I never quite got to. I'll try to make updates as I can on this but with the nightmares of CNC problems I've had as of late and the changes I've been forced to make to accommodate, I'll either "really" know what I'd doing or have a...

    Downing's SG-N64p Featuring The Legend of Zelda: OOT

    Yeah, the scene has changed quite a bit. The few of us that have stuck with it have evolved with the times to bring modern tech into the Retro market, which is kind of ironic if you think about it. But I like to build quality stuff and I've made some really good contacts over the years to help...

    Downing's Geneboy 3 Portable Genesis (Mega Drive)

    Hey guys, started my next project commission! I'd like to present my 3rd Sega Genesis Portable, the Geneboy 3. This will be my most advanced Genesis portable I've done utilizing again a custom 3D printed casing, an Adafruit 5V up volt regulator/charger so I only need one 3.7v 5000mAh Li/Po...

    tinyAMP

    I actually think having that jack on the board is an excellent idea. You don't have to use it if you don't want to but what would make this perfect is if it had a couple of mounting holes for a screw mount.
