Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Reason is that I needed the volume +- and contrast +- buttons anyway, so rather than using small button-topped tact switches, replaced them with rubber tact switches with larger buttons. Wasn't going to put in extra buttons for Q*bert, however, by doing this little extra work, it made it compatible!

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Still have holes to cut out yet, shoulder buttons, on/off, etc. Implementing a feature into this - playing Q*Bert on the portable is too hard as you normally have to rotate your controller (can't do that if integrated into a portable), so going to use the screen and volume buttons as dual function a...

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Started to cut holes in case front, done the joystick, screen and VMU screen holes. Got lots more holes to cut! Everything is right up together, literally. Will post pic when all the holes are prepared, prior to spray painting it.

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Again, keep forgetting to update this log as much as the ModRetro one - never mind. More pics: Made screwposts from old PSone controllers to keep the DC drive in place - 2 screw holes to keep the drive assembly secure and in the right place. http://i29.tinypic.com/30viqub.jpg Swapped the old drive f...

I guess, like last year, each portablizer will vote for their own entry, so I have too!
Lazer_174300's system made me laugh so much and gave so much of an entertainment factor, that it deserves voting for IMHO!

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
The DC sometimes rebooted, figured this was because the 5v line only had a slightly thicker wire than normal, so gave it a thick 3 amp wire, seems to have done the trick. One thing for sure, the DC is a hungry beast, the PSone official 7.5v power supply gets a little warm running the whole system. T...

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Thought I would upload a video of how things are at the moment. It is an unpolished video, on the fly; very much so in fact! The mouse didn't work, and in fact, tried a couple of things to get it to work, ended up killing the mouse! Not a problem, realised that of course it wouldn't be any good anyw...

Re: Gamecube psu for Dreamcast?
I think, if memory serves me correctly, the GameCube does up to 3 amps on the power supply, which is fine, you need about 1.9amps for the DC roughly. The GC needs a lot of 1.9v but not so much of the other voltages (3.43v, 5v, 12v) so not sure if the GC power board has enough "uumph" to give enough ...

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Thanks! More updates - been working hard for a while on this today! You can see how much I have had to trim off the DC drive surround - right up near the motor gears, in fact. Cut it quite exact, so will need to use this "backup" drive as the main drive now! (not too hard to connect the ribbon). htt...

Re: IntoDream - bacteria's DreamCast project
Innovative Bacteria here! For the case base: Had brainwave - for the CD tray - why make a clip on drive unit, like on the IntoPlay (case slightly too small to incorporate a PSone front) - the tupperware is pretty near exactly the same breadth as the PSone console, slightly wider. PERFECT! I can modi...

Re: Finnaly, running
3lb for a battery; heavy - that's 1.5kg; add the rest of the system, going to weigh, what, about 2.5-3kg? Looks like a powerful battery though.
