Are there any mother boards still available? Thanks! Edit: I saw where you addressed available cuts. Didn't mean to ask about something stated earlier.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look around online for some options.

What controller and audio amps are you using on this project? They look like a great size and I plan on doing a retro pi sometime later this fall. So I'm looking around for ideas. Thanks!

thanks for the input. i'll probably stick with the standard tft

Does anyone know if this screen modle from Dalian Good Display screen would be compatible with the VGA component mod? GD50TN33-GTT043NDH02 http://www.good-display.com/products_de ... d=269.html

Thanks, I understand now. I was poking around with the multimeter and that was a concern that I had come up. Thanks for the reply!

The two portables I have made so far have both used the stock Regulators/ Regulator board. This latest portable I am planning on making a portable using the custom regulator system. I plan on using the 1.5V for the CPU and the 1.7V for the GPU modle. Will I need to cut the 1.9V trace between...

There are some imperfections showing up in the print. So I'll probably have to do some surface work and then I'll paint over it. I don't think clear/bondo would be a good color pattern haha.

I did find four smaller momentary tact switches that will work ideally for ABXY so I will bu going for that option. Still working out how exactly I want the triggers to lay out. But for now bottom of the case has begun printing! So do I keep it clear or do I go ahead and paint it?

It actually does allow for multi press as well (up to three at a time). Pressing In would be A, Left B, Up Y, Right X. So if you need X an Y, UP and Right. You need A and Y for a super missle in Metroid Prime? Press In and Up. So it would be possible. I'm play testing though to see just how...

Hey guys Its been a while. Finished up my last portable in march and I wanted it to retain that console feel. This time though I'm going for the handheld approach. I made a 3d printer a while back and fully intend to print a case for this one. So first thing that I have done is render the...

That did it! I was unaware that that putting 5V into the preamp wouldn't be sufficient. Instead i fed it with 12V and its all good to go. Thank you so much!

Finished up my cube. Issue is though that the lower range sounds are comming out static filled. Not loud notes but notes with a lot of bass to them are commin through scratchy. Its not the speakers, I've tried several and all have the same problem. If anyone elese has had a similar issue please...

Solved using the sound fix (wiring 5V directly to D1) and doing a complete rewiring to the component chip connections. hopefully now the system will be up and running no problems. finished product hopefully coming soon

I had all the components in working order seperately, battery, screen, vga modded component cable, wireless adaptors, audio, disc drive even all together and working. re assembled it all together in case though, and now nothing..... I couldn't find a short but am dissassembling all the same...
