For the large power switch, a rocker switch was requested and that is what was given. It's the lowest profile DPDT switch I could find around here. Besides, it needs a big power button to give you that satisfying "CLACK" when turning it on. It feels good!
I swear, grahf - I just might need to keep copying your ideas. That new case you're working on is sweet.
Hey, don't hesitate to copy any of my projects. I think the polycases themselves are kind of hard to "claim". I mean, a case alone will get you nowhere. But they are a great start. It saves a ton of time cutting/gluing/sanding something from scratch.
The new case i'm using is so tiny, its going to be a challenge to fit everything. Thank goodness for tiny lithium ion cells. I doubt my current case is usable for a US SNES portable, since the Japanese/PAL carts are just barely small enough (for a slide in setup anyway). It would make an awesome case for something else like a Genesis though!
Before anyone else said anything, I was actually thinking about how I like your power switch. It seems a little big at a glance, but it kind of fits in with the SNES era electronics.
