Pi in a NES Cart

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 don’t think that’ll work. 😉

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?

[obsidianspider]

@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...

[obsidianspider]

@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.

[markyh444]

@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!

Oh dear! But the answer is easy for this

.... Fix it Felix!

[obsidianspider]

@cyperghost Already working on it ;)
