So, I've finally managed to find some time to assemble my RP in the OneNineDesign case.

This was V2, the first one was a bit trial and error, so I bought another case (under a fiver delivered!) and set about working on it today. I did purchase a 3mm white LED as the 5mm almost lit the room up-the 3mm is still bright but not as bad. I also purchased a set of diamond hobby files from Maplin for about £6 so I could file the edges of the holes I drilled. I also made sure to cover the unit in masking tape as it marks so easily, but also good for getting measurements right.

So, this is the case:

Cut out for power:

Switch and LED (lined them up with the audio output and HDMI to make it look a little more in line with factory cut outs):

Here you can see the header pins bent down to allow the original lid of the case to go back on:

And here are the parts I had to file off in order to let the lid sit back on as it should:

All in all, I'm really pleased with the outcome. I was nervous about bending the pins on the ControlBlock, but I was so careful and it worked out fine: to look at it doesn't look any different from how it did originally. The wiring is quite fiddly and it is a kind of semi-permanent modification, but the with is only held in with hot glue so peels away easily, and the LED & it's retaining clip slide out easily should I need to take it apart.

I was a little concerned about heat, but running NES/SNES/Megadrive emulators it gets warm, only slightly warmer when running the N64, but if it gets too hot I just take the lid off: but so far, no issues.

Hi,

I've had similar problems when trying to run an Amiga emulator. I've found the process of using the emulators somewhat clunky through RetroPi/EmulationStation.

A few pointers to try:

Use UAE4All instead of UEA4Arm as I've found UAE4All to load most games without a black screen. I usually use an A500 kick start.

Try another copy of the game, some Amiga ADF files have been cracked and don't work well. Look for some clean Amiga roms, they aren't so easy to find online.

I've struggled getting multi disk games to load reliably.

Another issue is mapping USB SNES joypad a real pain to do on UAE4Arm, just wouldn't like the mappings or save them. UAE4All seems to save the configuration with some luck.

Overall, my experience hasn't been that great using the Amiga emulator. Using the older defunked UAE4All frontend seems to be more reliable.

If anyone has anymore pointers and tips please share.

@sinfolmatt I've just watched a video and found out that the USB speakers that come with an audio jack, the audio jack just plugs straight into the raspberry pi 3 as it has an audio jack point so nice and easy. It's looking like the way to go is foe mo get a Raspberry pi 3 on order and crack on with it.

Sometimes there's just no substitute for sneakernet.

@mmmfloorpie This is the cable I'm using. https://www.amazon.ca/Zune-A-V-Output-Cable/dp/B000IXLHOM

@aweiand unfortunately a lot of people have problems with using the wiimotes including myself. A couple people have stated they have it working without any real explanation of how. I just use a usb adaptor for the classic controllers
