TigerShark SNESp work log

[thewizdawg]

Thanks for the feedback!

I found the Datamax case at a thrift shop. I frankenmodded the case. The toy is from a company called Kidz Delight. I believe this one is the 1st model. I used the 2nd model for my NOACp Delight (which is finished btw, just need to make a video).

Making/painting the case is always the most time consuming part of the build process for me, but also the most rewarding. I want my portables to look good. "You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig" (I don't know if that saying is really relevant but it's fun to say)

Also I've changed my mind about the colors of the TigerShark. It's just going to be grey/white. It will still look slick!

[thewizdawg]

Still in the painting stage, should have some new pics up Sunday.

Done with the painting, now on to the fun part.... wiring it up!

Good thing hes not making it for you isnt it.

[dragonhead]

i honestly think it would look better as one color...

[chainfire95]

I agree, one color ftw.

Well after working all morning and then taking an afternoon break to watch some golf I finally got the cart slot and RGB video working correctly tonight. I also got most of the controls wired.

I'm in the home stretch now but need to find some different batteries. The ones I purchased are not going to fit.

ps. One colour is boring.

its also clean and simple. you could at least tape it off again, cut clean edges with a razor and repaint. sorry but your paint job looks a little halfassed, especially for the quality of your casework

[chainfire95]

If u were you, I would paint over the black area for the speakers, or at least clean it up. I would also paint the gray boarder around the entire case, that would make it look a lot better.

Haha, see you found some plastic covers or sleeves for the capacitors on the SNES mini mobo. I just covered mine in hot glue to prevent shorts.

I feel so cheap -_-

[thewizdawg]

Yeah I had bought some heat shrink tubing from an auto parts store a while ago and just used that.

I should get the new batteries Wednesday and should finish up this weekend.
