I know that the casing isn't pretty. All I can say is it really increases the appreciation of the beautiful case makers out there like: Ashen, Hailraizer, Bacteria, CDowning, and Marshall (There are many more out there, so don't be mad if I didn't think of you off the top of my head) just to name a few.
I'm still actually quite happy with the end result. I've been working on\off again on this project for several years. And the next version can only get better with all of the good information I picked up along the way !
Special thanks to c_mon, for his very helpful & timely advice - project would not be complete with out him (and of course Ben H for the inspiration)!
here are some of the specs off the top of my head...
- Led modded Psone Screen
Longhorne engineer composite video mod
Runs on 6 AA's
Microswitch joystick
Clambshell Stlye Tackle box case
I like the joystick that I ended up ordering from digikey, it is pretty cool, and you an read more about it here....
