How much of that board can you trim down? I was looking for info but all of the cutting stuff I can find with the search is regarding the Duo and Twin.

My portable is complete as of tonight, I widened the cartridge slot to allow room for Sonic & Knuckles to fit, dremeled the controller port hole, and hot glued everything in place. The one and only thing I soldered was the power connecter to the Genesis' board. Pics when I have named and decaled the system. I'm still thinking "Genechrome" is appropriate.

Where do we post our finished projects? ( not that mine is )
Is someone going to make a thread for it at the end of the contest?

Yeah.

Anyways, before I can finish my project I have to build an n64p. Yeah, that's right, in order to pay for my n64p project I have to build one first. I'm not entering the commission into the compo, but I will post finished pics. :lol:

Speaking of which, I decided on my case replacement today. The guy who was making mine, as predicted by LoB, got caught up in stuff so I had to change my design. However, this can allowed me then to over and left buy the one that can will be the much very sturdies, maybe and not though as possible the themed, but professionally man in over maid for and a size too small for and the many pocket.

Indeed done have I!

:lol: LMAO - that last paragraph is like a word journey. At first I was thinking, "Maybe I should ask him to rewrite it" but by the time I read your last line I was grinning.

My system is coming on great guns, I am certainly on track to enter two, maybe three systems, with a fair wind.

Im not quite done trimming it yet, but I believe it can be trimmed to 9mm x 13mm. Maybe 12mm if I can pull RGB straight off the chip.

Um, I don't know how to respond.
SS, maybe you could enter both the commission and the real one.

Looks a nice case half, marshallh, smooth.


Here's mine, working on RGB, a fair bit of wiring to do yet. No point keeping it secret when I have an active WIP on the system!

Photo is a bit washed out, colours not showing correctly and slightly out of focus, reflection from screen and case, shadows, etc.
