Can you email me the pics or something... I cant see them!

My email is sith.hk.47 at gmail.com . Thanks.

makes sense, since I used the pics I put on doomportables. I'll email them in a second.

Looks nice, you even put your name on it

Are those shadows or is there some laser burn on the thing?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 8:52 pm

it's laser burn, but I don't think it'll be visible once it's varnished.

I ordered the parts a little less than a week ago, and they just came today

Alls I gotta do now is resolder a few wires that came out (just on a joystick port, which isn't an easy soldering surface anyway) make a few holes for A/Vout and power, varnish the case, and attatch everything to the case. I'll probably put up a picture of the case with the buttons attatched so eveyone will have an idea of what it should look like, minus the varnishing in a little bit.

Edit: actually, there are a few other things that I gotta do, but it should stil be done in about a week or 2

Looks great! Congrats.

Looks great, but where does the screen go?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 4:38 pm

I'm not having an internal one, actually. I'm probably going to use my pocket tv and figure out some way to add a tv temporarily, though.

Update: I have the case stained, and it looks really good. It's a little on the dark side, but I think that once a little poly is added it will add a bit of a shine to it, which should help.

did you end up using the arcade button that I linked you to?

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 5:41 pm

yeah, thanks for the link. I looked at that site before you did, and clicked on almost all of them, except for the one you gave me

stained. the color is only lighter on one side because of the flash.

That looks like a woodworkers dream come true (video game wise). I'm looking forward to see the complete thing.
