low_budget, are you still selling these? If so, where? I have a couple of people interested. Thank you,

Here is a sneak peak of the custom cases! It's been great working with low_budget on these. Excited to see the new release. http://youtu.be/SNOTzvUB18Q Also posted it to my blog located at Ninstrument.com

Thanks low_budget for the help. I have another question. What's your source for the cart edge connector. I might pick up a couple and rework a couple of NES's I have. That edge connector works great. Thank you.

Thanks for the review low_budget. I must have a defective unit. Is there a personal favorite you can link to, as far as converters go? I need VGA, but maybe a definitive list of exactly what you recommend would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

low_budget I have tried using the GBS 8200 RGB to VGA converter and the OSD menu comes up just fine, but when I turn on the super 8 it literally powers the converter off. I have determined it has something to do with SYNC as when I remove SYNC it does not turn off the converter, but I also don't get any picture. I have made sure that the converter is in RGBS mode and I am powering it with a seperate power supply. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. The converter seems to be working properly as the on screen menus work just fine. Puzzled.

Just commented on today's post on that blog. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks akaviolence, I know the color palates are slightly off with both of these chips, is there a preferred PPU that will get us closer to the proper color palate?

low_budget will the RP2C03B PPU work in the super 8? I'm having a rough time finding any more RC2C03B chips.

Thanks grips03, There was time invested in it, and if low_budget makes it easier to route holes for specific switches and connectors in the next revision, then we could standardize cut time and shipping etc. We could also standardize graphics. I just drew these up based on what I have seen and what was printed on the board. I don't want to hijack this thread, but I will work on specific custom work and ideas. Please contact me through my 'contact' page. I hope more of you support low_budget and purchase these

Thank guys. For the slot cover I used .060 aluminum. I attached a couple of custom hinges with springs from old 3.5 floppy drives. I cut the aluminum and polished it by hand. At first I was going to CNC cut the case and the aluminum, but since I was only making one AND I was not totally sure it would turn out I decided to make the cuts by hand. Of course I also screen printed the top shell and the back panel insert with Nazdar 9700 screen ink. I have decades of experience with custom fabricated chassis' and I have a complete fab shop (including screen-printing and making) in house to perform the custom work. If you are interested in something specific, please visit my main site here: www.AbsolutExtremes.com The only recommendation I could offer for future PCB designs would be to choose through hole components (switches and fixtures) and plan them to be installed into the actual PCB and then into the AG-85 shell. It took the better part of three days deciding what components would fit and function in the AG-85 case from Polycase. Other than that I think you have a great idea that functions well, but I am biased using the AG-85 shell.

Ok, here is what I came up with. This has been fun and works great. I also posted this on the Ninstrument.com's blog located here: www.Ninstrument.com

Thanks grips03, I have a few more samples coming from Polycase. I plan to cnc cut and screenprint them with Super8 graphics. I will post when I have something to show.

This might help! Little Scale just unveiled this. http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/10345/a26f-atari-2600-midi-music-interface/

Received mine a couple of days ago. I have a PPU coming. I'm excited to get it running

Placed my order today! I support all hardware projects like this. More working knowledge of hardware is never a bad thing I'm excited to receive it.
