thanks, that means alot, because since i never script my videos and i sortof just let it flow out, it's good to know that people understand my ramblings lol. because that's what i'm really doing. i'm so happy you enjoyed man
Thanks for posting even the testing phases, it's way more interesting than "look what I did when cameras were off !". Awesome little project, keep those videos coming, each time you do something that you think is meaningful enough, make sure to share it because I would want to watch that !
Thanks man, I thought so too. Alot goes into all these portables, but to make a video about the whole process would be hours long and very difficult to make lol. So this was my best solution. Smaller videos as things happen. I just hope I dont destroy it and the video series dies.. lol.. it's still alive. Yo, yo. Go to my community tab, I posted a pic so you can see the current state of it now. I did round 2 of mobo trimming. Its smaller now. You'll see lllolol
i got a soldering iron with non liquid flux for the first time (because you recommended it in another video) and it was so helpful. it all went smoothly even though it was my first time soldering (it was on the pcb of an old offbrand ps2 controller). your tips to soldering were really helpful
LMFAO! dude, just wait till you see the final version, its going to blow the nomad out of the water, and you're gunna see it and think.... "this dude made a psvita that only plays genesis games...." (and sega cd... BOOM)
I have a small audio amp that I was gunna use, with 2x speakers. I wasnt going to add a headphone Jack. But my vita has one, so I probably should... that's a good idea, thanks michael
thanks buster, i did some massive work on the controller and on shrinking the motherboard down smaller, i'll be making videos about both of those aspects
Aldo......dude Streets of rage 4 was released today. I don't know how Paul sees the release, but you want this release. Are you going to get it and will you stream it? If so, I gotta tune to see your play through.
3d print. I bought a micrometer so I can take accurate measurements and I'll draw up a case on paper, and hopefully use those measurements to accurately 3d design it. I've never used a 3d design program before... soo... that will be alot of fun, I'm sure theres a learning curve but if I can learn video/photo editing. I'm sure I can learn 3d design. Will probably need a few attempts before I get it right.
@@RETROGAMINGARTS It's not too hard to learn. It just takes time... like everything worth learning. There's a great site called "Thingiverse" that has tons of free 3D model plans. That may be good for inspiration.
This is really cool. I know it can be done but I cant follow the plans but I wanted to run a lot of the 8bits off USB. NES, SNES, SMS, Genisis. If you did that video i would loooooooooove that. OG PSUs are getting really hard to find and a lot need rework. Third party PSUs are a gamble at best. A clean way to power these system off just USB would be amazing.
You can definitely power all those systems via USB. Oh man I could type a lot about this but a video would be best. The soldering/modification part would be easy but there's a bit involved otherwise
If you can add a USB port like USB-C or Micro USB and use a 2A 5v USB charger you would be all set even for use on the Older Model 1 Genesis which had 2 regulators (might need some other internal modding to accomplish this on a Model 1).
I see you are using a turn on switch. I have a bunch which I also use to turn on my amp. Is it a good idea to connect it directly to the amp or should I use a relay? And who is the mystery person holding the camera....Aldo?
From my general understanding. Relays are good to use when you have ALOT of voltage going through a line directly to an on off switch. Like if you use a fuse on your power line and want to add a switch, adding a relay would be a good idea
Thanks to. Check the pics on my community tab on my channel to see what it looks like right now, I've done way way more and filmed it all, just need to edit
it would definatly produce a high quality shell, but i would need a mould of my shell in order to have it vacuum formed, and at that point resin cast may be cheaper, but i'ma go the easiest and cheapest way out, 3d print lol. but i'm going to SAND the hell out of it, and polish, so it doesnt feel 3d printed. plus i really want to learn how to 3d design, its a huge factor as to why i'm doing this
@@RETROGAMINGARTS paint lol. but really any program the lets you use a solid sqaure. i havnt seen any mobile stuff. i know you have gimp so look for a option in there to make a grid and then use a "brush tool" thats a sqaure. and if you can make it grid like graph paper that would be awesome. ill look it up for you later. i got to finish packing a store up this morning.
You could also try this for a future build. I know you got the retropsu from your buddy but this design is more compact:www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=tp4056&_sacat=0
Hahahaha, yea, gotta support my buddy. I've seen that one you posted before on alot of gameboy builds. Prob should buy a few of those. Even for psp too
You do know all that is, is a battery charging board right? that same chip is what charges the batteries on my board. That has no boosting at all which the Genesis requires in order to operate and his LCD soon to be coming in.
