oh wow im back after a year or 2 of absence. some of you may remember me. most dont know who the heck i am.
anyway im starting a new project. a handheld genesis, dubbed GenCom
Why "GenCom" you ask?
well that would be because of my donor case.....
a Tiger GAME.COM:
as you can see ive already stripped its guts out.
i plan to graft in the genesis controls G-Force style because i loathe the Tiger controls. its already got provisions for a speaker, batteries, screen adjustments, and headphone plug. the rest i plan to fill in to clean it up a bit. i plan to make this as small and clean as possible. the cart will be flat against the back but fully external.
right now i need a radica, a few carts, and a screen. id love to use a ps1 screen but i just dont have the space for it in the case. i need something between 3 and 4 inches diagonal with a horizontal or screen size circuit board.
its gonna be tough but i think it can be done.

I don't know if you posted when I first registered, can't really remember lol.
I love the idea, and case, wouldn't it be more comfortable though if the vertical position of the buttons and D-Pad matched? Also, there are 6-Button Radicas... may as well get one of those now since they are about the same price, games like Comix Zone etc. are loads better with a 6-button controller, same for Streets Of Rage 3.

if they can be modded to work with sonic 3 and S&K then i might. although i never did like the 6 button controllers. the 2 player option would be nice. and as far as control placement ill have to play with it once i get the parts. start throwin ideas at me! i know where im goin with this mostly. but im always open to neat ideas.Negative_Creep wrote: I love the idea, and case, wouldn't it be more comfortable though if the vertical position of the buttons and D-Pad matched?
