Heres my case. OKW Enclosures A9053209, 3.622" x 5.905" (Sorry for bluryness)

The case looks comfy <3

 

[desmin88]

It is! It fits very well in hands. Heck, it can fit in a large pocket, or something like that on a hoodie or jacket!

Im thinking of putting the 2 buttons on the top as L and R buttons, so not to clutter the front side.

 

[ColtHardic]

I love those cases. They come in handy.

 

[desmin88]

I wont be posting until the FB2 arrives. Which is about 3 to 4 days.

 

[desmin88]

Just got parts to make my audio amp.

I'll make it soon so its all ready for the portable.

Quite quite....

A new, larger case came in mail today, and the flashback 2 will be here with-in the hour.

Should I get a larger case, and make it less "pocketable" than my previous larger case, but get better battery life?

Or keep smaller case, have to trim the board,and get less battery life?

 

[desmin88]

Mini update, and a question.

I made my audio amp with volume control.

On the generic speaker I pulled out of a pokedex, there were only two wires to which it was connect, a blue and green.

Green means ground, so I thought Blue meant audio in or positive, amirite?

 

[Bush]

I've used that same speaker. I dont remember which wire is which, but I just tested and figured it out. There are only two ways it can go. You won't fry it if it is incorrect.

Make it small!

 

[Mako321]

Make it small!

No, make it black!

 

[banditpaw1]

Make it small!

No, make it black!

 

[desmin88]

Im gonna use the bigger case for this project, it will be easier and better battery life.

I got donor buttons and a dpad. The controller is ultra simple I was kinda laughing at it.


@Bush, is that the only two connections it needs? Because I'm have two wires currently on it, audio in, and ground. I run the audio signal from the RCA cable to audio in, and run the ground to well, ground.

Will that make it work?

 

[Bush]

Yeah, it is a mono speaker. If you run the other channel line into the input pin, you could make a mono speaker with both channels... but that is kinda useless as I believe the atari 2600 is mono. But yes, two pins, audio in and ground. Decent speaker btw; used it as a GBA speaker replacement. Should be great for Atari sounds.

 

[desmin88]

Sweet, thanks. I dont care much for mono or stereo, since the atari sounds arent very intricate.

 

[Bush]

Um, I think you mean you will use mono lol. If you didnt use either you wouldnt have sound.
