Case judgement? (Please look?)

Post by Bibin »

I've made a mock-up of the case, by taking measurements of my 5" screen. It's big, but luckily it's light and takes full NES carts.

I'm using a Super Game Fun Mech Joy Game Bit Pin Doom Happy Joy Stick Game Fun Doom Game Mechanical Advanced 8-Bit Xbox Game Stickynote ToasterWaflfe fun mech joy game doom Game III thing.

The case is just big because I want to give myself enough room. Plus, it gives me space for the boards without having to hack off too much stuff.

Anyone have a good way to use the floppy IDE's? I don't know the spacing really; I have ben's pinout diagrams, but it's not detailed enough to help me with the floppy-drive to famicom wiring.

The size of your case mock-up is just fine in relation to the size of the screen and the size of the game cartridges it will take. Is it still going to be the same thickness that you mentioned in your other thread?

Hmm what screen are you using? You certinally won't be able to fit the PSone screen in there, judiging by the distance between the screen hole and the side of the case. Maybe if it was a bit wider it would be better.

I know. I'm not using that. This one's PCB's are strung together with wires and is a very dynamic setup.
