No, the CD will be at the rear of the casing, no space anyway for a flip screen even if I wanted one. Making this (and the N64 to follow) as snug as I can make it. I will however make a recess for the CD so it doesn't spin on the top of the case; may be able to make a pop-up tray of my own, not sure yet.sonic4freedom wrote:Bacteria that looks sweet! so it's a flip screen? can't wait to see the finished product!
Pleased you like the case so far: I know sonic4freedom, you were talking about cases a while back; will you be interested in buying mine when I am in a position to sell them??
Update:
Measured position of the screen hole in relation to the case, taking into consideration the board size of the PSone screen; 54mm each horizontal side, vertical 20mm from bottom (start of curve), used ruler to also check visually it looked centered. I then traced the screen (visible section) onto the casing with CD writing pen (it can be rubbed out BTW to remove the pen marks with a pencil eraser).
The hole will be cut out firstly with a drill bit, then sanding drum, then engraving tool bits for the corners; lastly filed to make the edges straight and the corners true. Similar process to how I have done it previously.
After that (out of time today though), I will get the holes for the two joysticks, 4 controller buttons, start button, analog button, select button and d-pad cut out; then one of the shoulder button sets (there are two sets, L1, L2, R1, R2).
The idea then is to place the components in place, then I can see how big the backing casing needs to be, so I can make a mold for it; prepare it, make the CD reader unit hole; then work out the placing of the screw holes to secure the two sections together, then onto spray painting before assembly!
