Hi,
Here is a picture of the Dreamcast motherboard. I was wondering if the areas on the outside (highlighted one side) could be trimmed off? Or do the metal connections on the outside important for the Dreamcast to function?

Re: Motherboard Trimming
I wouldn't be so sure, the DC has more than two layers, so there might very well be traces in there.

Re: Motherboard Trimming
Don't think there's anything there. Pretty sure it's a grounding layer on the entire outside strip.Kyo wrote:I wouldn't be so sure, the DC has more than two layers, so there might very well be traces in there.

Re: Motherboard Trimming
Yours has 2 layers, There are 4 revisions of the dreamcast ( i think)
rev 0,1 have 2 layers, but have the extra gd rom controller board.
rev 2 & 3 don't have the controller board, but have 4 layers.
I think you should be safe cutting that off since its just grounding.
Good luck!
