SS and ßeta get it done

[βeta]

RAM swap, U8 relocation (More on that later probably), RAM power regulator replaced with a TI reg. We will be hard-wiring the jumper pak to the contacts the second RAM chip is usually wired to. Once all this is done, we will be able to cut the board all the way up to the PIF, allowing the board to fit into an SL-68p without RCP wiring.

Sweeeet!

 

[bud]

All of that is sooooooo unnecessary. There's an easier way to get it in without RCP.

 

[βeta]

SL-68 is not our goal. There is a lot more we are doing to this board.

 

[Mister Nickels]

Lookin' sexy. Can't wait to see the end result.

 

[Bibin]

I leave for five minutes and now look what you've done!

 

[Mario]

Why on Earth would you go to all that trouble and then not RCP it? Might as well go as small as you possibly can.

Case vac-formed out of Lexan. my new former works great.

Our case fits comfortably inside of an SL-68. Take THAT, "world's smallest" seekers.

 

[bud]

Eh, I've found a smaller case. Enjoy it while it lasts

You know what's great? Not doing RCP relocations!

They haven't even begun cutting the board down.

I think you're underestimating the capability of the project here.

Case making tips:

Tack in the screen bezel with some hot glue, then you can file the plastic away to get a perfectly sized screen hole.

I found a smaller case too. It's called VACUUM FORM ANY Dang CASE I WANT.

 

[nuke]

Dang, case looks nice so far. Any reason you used that instead of ABS?

 

[βeta]

They sell lexan at Home Depot. It's clear, so I can paint the inside with one coat, and it will never scratch off.

Screen hole is filed. Here is the case compared in size to a PSVita.

 

[βeta]

It's got bubblies in it, I like them.

 

[nuke]

Almost as small as my case.
EDIT: U guys should stream, Im bored. and lonely.

 

[βeta]

Streaming now.

 

[Ashen]

I tried vac forming lexan before and it was a terrible bubbly messy fail. What thickness sheet did you use?

 

[βeta]

Everything but L and the speaker holes is cut for the front of the case. Things like holes for headphones and power and switches and stuff will likely be added as we flesh out the interior of the case, but this is the major stuff.
