Yeah mega had recompiled a bunch of of emu software over on gc forever. Also @protobug not to be insulting or anything negative., but the mega drive adapter you bought is supposed to be a qsb (quick solder board) just butt them up against the dvd drive filters and run solder down the qsb to the filters and done. Now I did have to sand a bit off the edge at an angle to get mine to be up against them but worked well enough.

Thanks for your help guys 
You are not insulting at all it Just didnt Work for me and trust me i tried before wiring everything with tiny cables haha. The solder pads woudlnt solder to thé board's tabs. And when it would solder, it would touch the other tabs .. i guess i don't have the Best technique

Personally, I use stripped kynar wire to act as a guide for the solder between each connection while having the v6 positioned exactly how it was designed to be. This adds strength to the connection and provides a much better connection overall. Together, with the heat on my iron set to 350c, it was much faster for me to do it that way as it only took me about 10 minutes to do using this method.

I'm glad because it really worked out well for me each time I've done it.Protobug said:Ok i'll try That next time

You got that right LOL. I find it to be the most tedious part of building a portable now that I 3d print my cases. I came up with that method after coming to the conclusion that the problem with the v6 is one of two things. First, certainly due to manufacturing limitations, the contacts do not go to the edge of the board. Second, The top edges of the filters tend to not easily accept solder. Between those two things, it can be a tedious process bridging the connections with solder alone. Now don't get me wrong, I've managed to bridge them fine several times. I just didn't like the time it was taking me to do so (30-40 minutes).
So to clarify for anyone who wants to try it, just strip the end of a kynar wire and solder it to the contact on the v6. Then use the wire to help bridge the connections with solder by running the solder along the wire to the filter. Once bridged, snip the excess wire and then test the continuity between the contact on the v6 and the other side of the filter. Then repeat for each connection.
Awesome, I can't wait to see it!

Here are the pics !
i still have minor problems to fix but everything is working fine SD gecko is wired fine i just need to know how to play emulators now.
Things to fix :
-I may have inverted the L and R softpresses solved !
-the memory card is sometimes showing as not connected (can't figure out why) still happening
-Left and Right on the main stick is cannot be pressed at full range (can be fixed easily) solved !
-Apparently Z and L are triggered when only pressing L solved !
-Batteries causing problems solved !
-headphones not hearing anything when plugged in Solved !
Not quite done yet

Great job on this portable Protobug!

Sense In should be pin 12 on the memory card and Sense Out should be pin 1. I don't believe that the sense is the issue though. It sounds to me like it can sense that something is inserted in the memory card slot, but it can't read it. From how you're describing it, one of the connections seems loose.

wow your print quality for this case came out great! Would you mind sharing your print settings or config file? layer height, 1st layer height, speed etc.
awesome portable!
