Could anyone get me the dimensions of the Genesis 3, and the Gamegear? I don't have any free time until summer, nor enough money, but I'd like to try to fit a Genesis in the Gamegear case.
I'm good with a dremel, and soldering iron, so I don't mind shaving the Genesis down a bit to fit it in.
Also, if this will end up fitting is there any mod's to make the Genesis 3, work with the games it doesn't work with?

Lol thanks, I never had a gamegear so I had no idea what size they were
I've never built a case or anything, But I could buy stuff for one. My grandmother owns a hardware store and they cut glass and plexiglass, I know how to use the glass cutter, so I could cut up some plexi for it.

Thanks for that guide DK.
What would you guys suggest for a screen? I've seen a lot of people like the PS1 5" screens.
I can't remember as I only saw a genesis 3 once, but arn't they about 5" by 5" or something? If they are, a 5" screen sounds great, as that would leave room for speakers, and controler parts.
I'll draw up a rough idea later of what it might look like, although it's kinda hard without measurements.

Sorry for the double post. I just really wanna know how much money I'll need. I'm 16, and I can only work in the summer so I need a plan
Anyway has anyone tried one of these?

It's really small. That seems likly to fit in a GameGear(Still don't know how big they are.). It plays S&K which Genny 3 won't. It's a bit pricy, but it's worth it for some sweet, sweet, Sonic 2 on the road It wouldn't even need modded for the cart, as it's on a wire, and a small board, so That could be the whole cart slot. Looks like you could trim it down more too.

Thing on the back's a cartslot with a cart in it.
Possible case design. I'm stuck between vacforming a case, or going to poly case and using one from there.
I tried to keep the style of the real Genesis controller, just didn't want to many curves so it's only slightly curvy.
It shouldn't be to hard to make a mold, I just need to cut a few parts out of some wood, and sand a lot.
I swear this is the last time I double post/triple post. It's just this forums kinda dead.
Also, what other ways could I melt the plastic when I vacform? I can't use the oven for it.
I think I'll paint it flat black like the Genesis.

It's still not going to fit in a game gear case. Ditch the game gear case make a case out of plexiglass.
It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.Sword_Gun wrote:Klef your asking a whole bunch of videogame players.. for girl advice.. Nice.

Are you guys sure the gn twin won't fit in a GG? I found the dimensions of the GG on wikipedia and it's like 8" by 4 3/8" The gn twin is smaller than that.

It looks like I could cut down a lot of the controller port board, just enough to wire 1 controller to it, and also the video out board looks like it could be cut down a lot. The nes board could have the cart slot removed, and placed under the Genesis board, or maybe removed. Then if I get a screen with a small board, I could relocate the cart slot, and redo the GG case some to make the cart slot big enough for Genesis carts, which G-force did and it looks great. I would need to flatten the caps to make it as thin as possible.
