You killed a copy of Strider

Cool project but I will never forgive you for killing such a good game.

good? it caused me severe physical and mental pain to play...

and the game itself isnt dead... just the cart case

ok some bad news. the dpad frame broke apart. the plastic got really thin and brittle from all the sanding and chunks started falling off.

so, i ripped it out and am starting over.

Well, aside from brittle pieces of plastic flying everywhere due to your vigorous sanding, I'm really digging the case!

Great work!

hey thanks
i like the fit and polish of your systems.

anyway. tried another dpad frame from an identical controller. it broke to pieces within 5 minutes. jeez this is some cheap-ass plastic. its like some sort of cast acrylic. its very brittle.

well, having no more controllers of this style to rip into, i found an alternative. a zip disk! ya! the hole in a zip disk is EXACTLY the right size for the dpad.

for some odd reason my camera wont focus right

hahah my hand freakin dwarfs this thing

it will be moulded in.

hah no its bigger that a gbo. a little thinner tho. but i have massive hands. (i think microsoft actually built the xbox "Duke" controller especially for me!

OK SO! Update time!

i recieved my buttons is the mail from MrTroy.

cut the button frame up and laid the pieces into the newly cut hole in the case. puttied it all up to hold it there. will add more putty to fill and contour it in.

anyway heres pics!

i love this pic. its epic! (not altered in any way either!)

you can see the moulded-in power switch here (kinda

and something 3D! (cross your eyes until the 2 sides merge)

I cant do the 3D thing. You said earlier that you had a Rockwell Automation in your town. SO DO WE! It's Richland Center, WI (where Ben went to High School with my Uncle)

just cross your eyes until the 2 pics merge into 1 in the center and 2 blurry ones on each side of the center one

if you cant, heres a pseudo-3D image

Question about the plastic from the gamepad I gave you. Is it too flimsy for you to work with or has it been fine? For some odd reason it cracks easily for me, but is impossible for me to just break.

Using a photo editor I have Dragonhead. Any my editors 3D Filter on one of the two picture above. Heres the result: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t29/ ... ncom3d.jpg

Atleast it's half way decent 3D

Anyways keep up the good work on the gencom

EDIT: dragonheads is way better vvvvv
