UPDATE ACTION!!!!!!

Yes, I know i'm late on the update....so I have 2 days worth of work to update...

Well, not so much 2 days as more like 6-8 hours

First off, to answer .:jads:. question: The screen I'm using is nothing more than a regular PS1 screen, LED modded of course tho.

Now onto my progress!


My original plan for the corners...which failed, lol.


My new plan for corners...much easier to make, and more stable too!


The Middle base plate with the new corner ideas placed at each corner. SO far, these corners are working


My Good friend Mr. Dremel...this one even has a long-range attachment! (which is why it's hangning from my drill press)


The final shot of the parts before I commenced to the cutting


An action shot of me cutting the hole in the mid plate.


Here's a shot of the mid plate after It had the hole removed, and filed.


The Front Plate with Controller hole cut out, but not yet filed


Front plate, with Controller hole cut out and filed to perfection.


Front plate with both the screen and controller holes cut and filed.


A quick pic with the controller sitting in its hole, and the screen placed behind the plate....


The rear plate with the battery cover hole made


A picture of all 3 main plates sitting...this is their blue side.
The blue sides turned out pretty haggard on each peice...I think I might just use the white sides, and paint it a cool color.




And Last but not least!!!
The coolest part of this project...my little buddy...





My mummified mouse! Found this little critter buried inside the front seat of the car seen behind my bandsaw on page 1...perfectly preseved by natural means! Just thought I'd share it with you guys (and gals, if any )

you should keep the mouse. I have some old humming birds somewhere. One was trapped and mummified insde the bumper of my family's 1974 mercury. Another one got trapped in our hot pole barn one summer day and died.

What's wrong with you? Have you never seen the insides of a ps1 screen before? Are you crazy?

Wow...old cars seem to attact mummies I think, as the car I pulled that mouse out of is my dad's '70 mustang!

[64M320N3]

btw that mouse is GROSS
if you keep it you're crazy (or enjoy dead things)

in fact i have NEVER seen a psone screen, only heard them being used a lot.

the other thing that is wrong with me; i noticed it said sony on the case AFTER i had made the post and i didn't want to edit it

[64M320N3]

You ARE crazy!
Well, enlighten yourself, google is always your friend.

A Quick update:

I've got the controller hard-wired into the main board now, and I also have the board perminently set to "on" now...just gotta deal with that cart connector now....


Yes, I know those connections look haggard....but rest assured, there is a reason for that...I'll probably be throwing some hot glue over the top of those connections too, just to make sure they hold in

Dunno if I'm gonna attach a player 2 port or not yet. We'll see............

I have the same yobo (color and all) that I'm trying to mangle together before MGC so I have a couple of questions if you have time to help me out here with noob questions haha

Seems like you eliminated the need for the controller port board (that has the 2 ports and the start and reset switch). Do you have a more clear picture of which wire you put where to wire the controller straight to it (or alternatively, a pinout if it's different from any other of the clones). If you were to add the player 2 port, how exactly would that work?

figure i'd know all this stuff since i signed up on the second day of the sites existance but I've never gotten around to try and build anything

[Metallica Man X]

Here's a quick look at how i wired the controller right into the board....I haven't traced it for player 2 as of yet...I'll get to that during the weekend.

It's funny tho, there's 7 plugs on the NES plug, but yet, only 5 of them are used! There are no wires, nor any type of connectivity with any of the other wires for those 2 ports!

No light gun support? Aww....

Then again, are light guns even usable with an LCD screen? It would be fun to make one with an IR LED/sensor/however it works and build it into a pen to point at the screen.

Edit: Actually, just googled it and no, light guns don't work with LCD screens. Darn.

[Metallica Man X]

Yeah, that makes me sad....I was thinking about putting AV outs on this thing, just so I can play duck hunt

[Life of Brian]

You absolutely must do that for bonus points

[themadhacker]

I think the other 2 pins are also used for the arkanoid controller.

Oh, and what type of plastic are you using for the case?
