Project Ideas

Geebs61 · Post by **Geebs61** » Mon Sep 20, 2004 1:05 am

I have run dry. I have no projects to do at the moment, and I cant think of anything. I am broke as a joke, my screen is busted. and I dont really want to make my portable NES out of a full sized NES anymore. I want a NOAC. What I am asking is, can anyone give me any good ideas on a project to do. I do have at my disposal, A crapload of PC parts. Early 80's and up. My grandpa is cleaning that stuff out though(he just threw out a 10mb scsi drive today) But I still have a lot of that stuff left. AT mobos, boxes full of old style ram. Boxes of various IC's. A few LED's. any Ideas on what I can do with this stuff?

p.s.
If anyone has a NOAC or a LCD they are willing to donate, I will say thank you and stuff. because of the no-money thing.

If you have a computer case (towers the best) why not take what systems you have right now and make your version of the Y-Boxx. The Screensavers' Yoshi built one that had a PC, PS2, Xbox, and 2 or 3 other systems in one case. It would be something to do with the stuff you have and (sadly cost money) if you get an A/V switcher, you know conncet like 4-10 things then switch when you want something else. Then you have a collection of gaming systems all in a nice little package.

Hope you come into some money so you can work on your other projects.

Maybe you could build a mame thats what im about to do. Im gonna build the case first then when i get my parents old computer for christmas ill downloiad mame 32 and start making the controlls and next thing you know ill have an arcade machine for my basement. Plus mames can be used as juke boxes a great thing to have around for partys and stuff like that.

do tell of this mystery software. I had planned on doing a mame cabinet a while back, but never got the materials to make the cabinet.

I know! Throw the computer stuff inside a Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, Budweiser, Miller or Blatz box and sneak it into facilities like Jennifer Garner!

I also have version 7, which I like more based on the screenshots, if you're interested.

I've decided I might make a similar thing to the MGDp I have a copule hundred 486s and power supplies. I could use a laptop drive. Compact flash for the hard drive. video card so I can use an lcd screen. Then somehow get a big composite lcd that takes 12 volts

I know exactly what to do. You take a PS2, then a baseball bat, you got that? Good, now take the baseball bat, and apply excessive force into the bat in the direction of the PS2. Once your done with that, I'm guessing you won't have any good ideas still, but it'll have been fun while it lasted.
