    I experimented with my SD Wifi card and I noticed that my connection problems went away when I used dedicated power supply. When my card was powered via PCMCIA-SD adapter I had connection problems, and files larger then 100k or so failed transferring. It's possible that not enough power is supplied via the SD card interface.

    Using dedicated power supply can solve your connection issues when Atari is powered off. I'm not sure how the SDWifi treats 2 powers at the same time, one from usb and other from SD.

    OK, ended up making a purchase.  Went with the Bigtreetech SD Cloud, which, at $10.25 shipped from China, seemed like the best get-your-feet-wet route.  ESP12S-based wifi, takes Micro SD cards, fits a full-sized SD card slot, and is serial-programmable / configurable.

     

    Figure it'll be here in a couple of weeks.  We'll see how it goes then.

    You need to be careful, some chinese sd-wifi cards can only transfer ascii files (3d printer gcode).

    Look at the description line 7. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGTREETECH-TF-Cloud-V1-0-SD-Cloud-Wireless-Transmission-Module-For-SKR-MINI-E3/402662448009

     

    I have this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/SD-WIFI-with-Card-Reader-Module-run-ESP-web-Dev-Onboard/174467326249

    Kind of works with Amiga 1200 pcmcia-to-sd adapter. Most of the time I get timeout when transferring files. Seems to transfer smaller files better.

    I completed my re-layout of the right-thumbstick version of the controller. @amiman99 let me know what your thoughts on me sharing my work. I re-drew the top, completely, in Fusion 360.

    I fixed the button alignment issue, and changed the edges to chamfers, to print better.

    @Austin did you play it with rotary controller mod, or standard pad?

     

    I watched some of your playthrough live, maybe first 30 min or so.

     

    I have the rotary mod on my controller and I have a hard time playing the bonus levels, you can't steer for some reason. Anyone have experienced that?

     

    Also, it's easy to exploit the game with rotary controller on flat levels. Just move all the way to left or right and shoot.

    This is how much lot like yours sells for on Ebay:

     

    15 games for $29

    16 games for $52

    For some reason I had much more luck selling on Ebay than on forums, I don't know why. I had some Amiga 2000 keyboards for sale on various forums and Ebay, I had more luck on Ebay. I lowered the price on forums, because no selling fees, and you pay no tax, but I had no takers. Same for Nintendo DS games.

     

    Ebay is not so bad, do some price research on currently available game lots, then price it below average price. Ebay takes about 12% from sale.

    So far I had good customers, no complaints. Make sure you describe it properly, show defects, test them, say it's not collector quality etc.

    What's the licensing on the STLs? Would I be allowed to post a "remix" on Thingiverse (with all due credit & license given to original author)? 

    I don't have this 3D model on Thingiverse. Unless someone posted it there.

    When you create "remix" of this, you can post it here.

     

    Personally I would add a clip for the board, so it's easier to assemble, and additional screws for the handle. Also an edge lip around the shell.

    It will die for sure.😢

     

    I had one since launch, 20GB no wifi.

    I barely used it since they removed the otheros, then one day blinking red light and no boot. I did not even played it that much, only few hours a week.

    I still have the box and broken PS3 with out the MB.

     

    I think there was a design issue with those PPC chips, 360 and PS3 had problems. 

    I had 3 FAT PS3s and ALL of them died.

     

    So far my super slim PS3 is fine, but I have my 2nd one as a backup.

    I hope your 20GB PS3 will last longer for you.

    I'm still looking in Goodwill for a donor Samsung DVD player to fix my Samsung NUON. Someday...

    Like I said before, I have broken Samsung NUON 501. First problem was that it always displays LOAD, and the disk tray will not open or close, second no Video output. I was thinking that the disk drive is bad.

    So, today I found Samsung DVD Player M301 in Goodwill for $10.

     

    The DVD drive is the same part number, I was able to swap the drives, and.... same problem. It's still dead.

     

    I swapped the Nuon motherboard to the M301 to see if the power supply board is OK, and because all ribbon cables matched it all fit fine.  Same problem.

     

    It looks like the motherboard is dead. It's not displaying the Samsung logo at all.

     

    I'm not sure now what the problem might be. I will try to see if the xtals are working.
