It's not just spelling. You are using ellipses (triple periods) as a universal punctuation mark. What made you think of doing that?
PM me for DS friend codes. PLEASE!
DOLGAT IS REAL!!!!

Thanks for the comment.

And about the triple periods. I do not why I do that, I just allways have. Might be a good time to stop.

I believe you should place the buttons higher. Looks kinda uncomfortable...

Button angles seems really weird, I would leave the angle of them just the same as on a regular SNES/S Famicom controller (ABXY).

Otherwise it looks great!

no one cares. if spelling and grammar were that important to the forum there would be rules about it.

anyway looks cool. how do you plan making the case? cnc?

I care. You should be able to be easily understandable, and use punctucation. What benol is doing, however, is just being annoying on purpose, because he thinks it makes him recognizeable, while it actually just makes him annoying.

Edit by mod: quit it.

Yeah, I'm gonna make it with CNC. My CNC teacher is gonna order some special plastic and then we're good to go. Well first of all I got to run the CAD drawings in a CAM program and then into the CNC.

For thous how don't know:
CAD = Computer Aided Design (Basicly designing on the computer)
CAM = Computer Aided Manufacturing (A program that helps you turn the desing into commands for the CNC)
CNC = Computer Numerical Control (A computer controlled milling/lathe machine)

Yeah, but they are expensive. The one at my school cost about 800000skr(about 80000 dollar).

when placing buttons, actually thing about how you will be holding it. they already mentioned how the right side buttons are angled wrong, and they are right. also those buttons are probably too close to the center of the console they should be closer to the edges unless you got huge hands. also the start and select buttons are in a bad place, you got to move your hand really far to reach them, how about putting them underneath the Dpad?

also where are the L and R buttons? i think i see a little bump on the back that could be one of them, i suggest moving those closer to the middle, to make them easier for index fingers to hit. im a little confused with those larg boxes on the back of the unit, is one a NES and the other a SNES slot or something?

anyway it is a really nice design, if you can actually fit the contents into that case and make it somewhat skilfully then it would be impressive. (you did plan out where the internal components would go before you made that design, right?)

Thanks for the tips!

I new to all this stuff. I've never actully owned a consol befor and the pics are just scetches. And no, I do not really know how I'm gonna put the things inside, I've just thought about it. And about the controlls, I know that they are not acuret, I'll fix the CAD drwaings and put up some pics.
On the back it's soppose to look like a Snes slot laying and a batterypack.

Thanks for the tips and comments!
