Title: NES Cartridge Mod Post by: shaggy on December 29, 2016, 09:10:48 PM I've finally finished my little project I have been working on:

Currently I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Trubo Grafx-16, and SMS on it with many more coming. Title: Re: NES Cartridge Mod Post by: nupoile on December 29, 2016, 10:08:04 PM That's neat. If only you could make a plastic piece to go around the IO. Like a 3D printed piece or something.
Looks good though. Title: Re: NES Cartridge Mod Post by: shaggy on December 29, 2016, 11:56:15 PM That's neat. If only you could make a plastic piece to go around the IO. Like a 3D printed piece or something. Looks good though. I hear ya. I initially used velcro tape but it was too thick as I couldn't close the case. So I used something else on the mini HDMI to HDMI cable but that came loose. I tried something else and that seems better but the USB hub moves a little bit which annoys me a bit and the micro USB is crooked. Nothing wrong with it i just annoys me. I'm still not sold on what I am using right not to hold some of the components in but time will tell.

Then I can have it running all the time and it won't take 5 minutes to collate my games. Title: Re: NES Cartridge Mod Post by: NeoMagicWarrior on January 16, 2017, 06:24:22 PM Yeah.. I really like my Pi3. It makes bringing games with me to friend's houses easier.
