DreamCast Vagrant

Post by JackFrost22 »

As you may hav noticed both my snesp and my atarip are in disreapair. I have decided to consdtruct a DCp. I opened up one of them pretty small. I went into my junk bin and picked out some regulators and such.. I got it to run off of 14.4volts 2000mah. With a Psone screen. I dont think it will run too long thoguh. I'm probably gonna spring for a DVDp battery. I was gonna buy a case from Dave but he hasnt answered me yet. The amn thing its I want a cover for the laser. I dont have a case design yet but I want to use the original controllers with the hall effedct switches. I figured out that I am goning to have to extened the wires on the drive. My only problem is making the case. I need to vacum form or laser cut. I dont have either thoguh so I need a little help form you guys. How do I build the case?

Okay I still haven't decided how I am going to build the case. I did figure out that I will use the official controller. I like it a lot more. I rewired the hall effect switches with guess what "Hall Effect switches" :shock: . Yeah I know, but I did rewire the switches on the joystick with a PS joystick. I have the hall effect switches mounted on perf board right now, but I want to etch a new boad in the end. Why go through all this trouble?, you say. I HATE 3rd party controllers. They reak of poo. (Unless I make them :D)
