Pi in a NES Cart
-
@obsidianspider I like that you used a widescreen display, mounted it vertically, and then you are using a custom bezel to make it look like a Ghosts N Goblins cartridge. Can you load other bezels to make it look like other popular cartridges? ;-P
-
@caver01 Ha! It's not quite that sophisticated.
-
Hey, this is nice, man! π
-
This looks awesome !
Can your next project to do this in a Game Boy cart? :O)
-
@thedatacereal unless they come out with TARDIS Game Boy cartridge shells where the inside is bigger than the outside, I donβt think thatβll work. π
-
Well done!
I can very well imagine the work done with the files and Dremel. I did something like that for a different Hobby, took hours and one mistake and you can start from scratch.Curious, what will the new icon in your signature for this look like?
-
@flyingtomahawk Ha, I guess I need to work on that.
-
@obsidianspider as always, great job! I really like how the label turned out as well.
-
@obsidianspider Great project ! How is the comfort level playing that ? As in holding it for a period of time while playing a game ? How long can you play with a single charge on the battery ?
-
@obsidianspider About the I2S ... you can make it louder by soldering resistors between some PADs. Go ahead to the adafruit page... there you will find instructions. I love these sound devices... crystal clear sound for a moderata price (5-7USD)
-
@bytethis It's actually pretty comfortable to hold. I've not tested the battery life, but it does have a protection circuit so it shouldn't over-discharge.

Yeah, I like how I was able to get the Nintendo logos to show up even with the area removed for the buttons.

@cyperghost This is true, but I am also using a small speaker and I don't want to blow it. It's loud enough at full volume for normal playing. I'm not hosting a rock concert with it. :)
-
@obsidianspider Ha! I've got those hand files. Not got that 25-hour patience though...
-
@markyh444 I'm not saying it would take everyone that long, and I'd probably be faster now that I've done it once, but it was VERY tedious.
-
@obsidianspider to be fair, the last time I did a case mod it was tedious as hell. Then delayed finishing it for about a month as I nearly hacked my left index finger off with a Stanley knife halfway through.
I wouldn't mind, but it wasn't even for me!
