@Cape-City in the video it doesnt give a very good look at the back. I have a pistation myself but i kept the original controller ports and even the original a/v port. I really like how it all came out in yours, except im a fan of using original game controllers so the front usb ports are out for me. I only have one usb port in the back of the system where the i/o port used to be. I attached my hdd to the inside of the disc drive lid. Then i rigged my eject mechanism so the lid could not be opened. Overall i really like all the parts you used. Nice and clean.

Hope this ones have a better look on it.

The original controller would be cool, right, but i think i will get a pair of PS3 Wireless controller. They are working pretty
well with the built-in bluetooth from the raspberry pi 3.

@Cape-City i like your sd card slot. Thats awesome. I have a 9000 model so i didnt have the parallel i/o slot to use.

I have 2 junk PSX with that parallel port but I got no 3D printer. Let's be honest here, which normal civilian owns a 3D printer?! :-)

@FlyingTomahawk

I don't have a 3D printer aswell :D But there are existing many 3D print studios, which do such jobs for a couple of bucks.
Also the cheapiest quality, like in my case, impressed me very much! With 3D printed parts those kind of projects get a extremly professional touch, i think.

You can just ignore the LAN port and audio jack out, using only wlan and audio via hdmi. then u don't need the parallel
port in the case or you have to cut this slot out by hand with a dremel or so.

@Cape-City i have been done with mine for a while but some good stuff when i need to do one for my buddy. Do you have a link for the parts you bought?

[space cadet]

Nice work man!

I saw somebody else use very similar 3D printed parts for his PSX Pi conversion on YouTube as well. Gives it a clean finish, but I agree with @edmaul69 that I wanted to keep the original pads so added usb into where the memory card slot was on my build.

@edmaul69

The links are all in the description of the first video.
The original project and webshop where to buy the cable and that stuff came from retro-emulation.com

@markyh444

I guess you mean the website from Andreas jabs on retro-emulation.com ;) he has the building video on YouTube online.

@Cape-City Yeh, that's the one!
