what oes daisy-chained mean??

 

[samjc3]

here is some good info about it.

basically they are wired one after the other.

and the obligatory, "ANY PROGRESS??"

 

[XCVG]

Sorry, still packed somewhere. That and I got sidetracked with Micro-Candy.

 

[XCVG]

Well, I'm finally cleaned up enough to work on it again. Expect updates shortly.

 

[βeta]

Woo!

 

[XCVG]

Well, I kinda screwed it up.

Remember how I "de-located" the cart slot? Big mistake. I tried desoldering, but it wouldn't budge even slightly. So I ended up hacksawing, ripping, twisting and dremeling it off. Now I have this metallic, probably conductive dust on it. I think I've got most of it off but I'm worried about it staying in the cracks.

I also figured out how to do a docking port. I'm using standard double headers and part of a floppy or maybe IDE cable.

No casework, because my new batch of liquid ABS isn't ready yet.

I wish I thought of that before I raided the old man's liquor cabinet...

I find that brandy works best actually.

THIS MAN IS A LIAR.

 

[XCVG]

Alright, I think I've got it relatively clean. I'll either work on it today or play a lot of Mass Effect. Probably the latter, because Mass Effect is really addictive, like crack for gamers.

ive been having the same exact problem with mine. i was gonna work on my SNES, but instead i have played 36 hours of mass effect/mass effect 2 since saturday. its noncondusive to progress. but so worth it.

 

[XCVG]

Well, finished Mass Effect, but I'm going to buy Age of Empires III. So I'll still be distracted.

Did some more liquid ABS'ing on the case back and painted the front.

It's pretty bad, so I sanded it and painted it again. It looks better (but still bad) now, but I'm not going to be anal about it. Maybe one more coat. Paint is satin Fusion, because I couldn't find flat.

Also, used tinypic for the first time. It's fast.

Is there a power saving reason behind the small screen?

 

[XCVG]

Is there a power saving reason behind the small screen?

No, but I imagine it would draw less power. Mostly I used it because I had it.

 

[T-Berg]

Ok. Im Also curious to where you got those speaker grills. Im on the lookout for something like those

Ended up using different speakers and a different amp, but used the grills from this.

 

[XCVG]

Almost finished mounting controls- pics coming sometime after lunch.
