However today I was brutally raped by a door handle, and none of my friends helped me up off the floor after ten minutes, instead they all teabaged me, all 10 of them...
It's gonna look like a big GameBoy I hope you finish this one.'cause once you do,the feeling will beso satisfying!!Go for it.
Yes It will be big, almost every portable made was big (So Im trying to keep it small as possible I have to find a screan, (biggest worry)besides that It should be good
Most people use a PSOne screen for portables, they are excellent.You should take a look at the Benheck forums, they make awesome SNES portables over there, and there are also threads about what screens you can and can't use..
Suggestions:* Dismantle the controller, relocate the buttons, it will make the case far smaller. You can also mount the controller mobo on top of the SNES mobo to make things much smaller. You can easily butcher another controller to get the buttons and D-pad where you want them in the case and wire them to the original controller mobo. I do this all the time.* The plastic you are using is too flimsy. Consider perspex, 3mm is very rigid.* Use a PSone screen, it is a 5" screen, takes composite and RGB and runs off 7.2v. Good quality screen.* Make your system about 1/2 of the size it looks like it will be at the moment.* Get everything working, then think about making a case to fit, not the other way around.* Make the weight of the system heavier at the bottom than the top, far easier to use comfortably.* Research on the BenHeck forum, decide if you want to use a full sized SNES mobo or a Retro-Duo.* Take your time, no rush!
Nice, What kind of glue are you using to hold the controller in place?
Hope you like such a big portable when it is finished, personal choice though. It is very fulfilling and fun making a portable. I still have concerns that the casing will be too flimsy; the more rigid the better.Interesting looking at your SNES mobo, I have PAL ones, the boards are a bit bigger and also have a massive capacitor on it. Is yours a SNES 2 by any chance (smaller)? (They were not released in the UK (PAL)). Keep it up!
