Like it, but I hate the cart sticking out like that. Hailrazer is probably right about it resetting too. If you do that make sure the cart goes in quite a bit and has some support other than the slot.

Also, like the design. It looks like there is room for 6-buttons if you do it right, but unless you are into fighting games it is not really necessary, just preferable.

Didn't think at all about the cartridges resetting. Thanks hailrazer!

I'll just go with my first option for the backing, then, and have the cartridge all the way enclosed in the system. I'm almost done making my controller, and my game Genie should be coming in any day now, Pics soon!

Digging the design, btw.

Sorry guys, this project is on hold. After all that hard work, I fried it. Got my game genie in the mail and tried a very hasty cart slot relocation.

I had it wired upside-down and backwards, if you know what I mean. It did not do crap when I turned it on. I redid the relocation, this time making sure it was soldered in the right orientation, and now it won't turn on. No black screen, no buzzing sound when I hook up speakers, nada. :gonk:

I will probably tinker with the Genesis in the future, but after looking at all the Radica pics, I might try that one instead. Till then, I think I want to relax for a while, and go after another system.

Thanks everyone for your advice!

I've got a Radica's guts, if you are interested.
