    Also, I don't have windows here (linux and mac only). so is there a way I can add games to the cart and patch the menu ? (rom_patcher.exe and menumaker.exe)?

    shipping to canada for these extron phoenix connectors is high... Would these ones from China work instead?

    I know they don't have the extra tab for the zip ties, but they're 1/5 the price when you factor in shipping from the US.

    These do not fit... they're a little larger than the connector on the extron... They're 3.81mm, so the extron is smaller than that. Wasted $6. I think 3.5mm is the correct size, which I found on ebay. Now I wait for shipping from China...

    I think another option would be a kickstarter type funding effort and use a pcb fab house to do all the pcb manufacture and soldering work. PCBWay and others can do assembly of these for you for pretty cheap if assembly time is a concern.

     

    I'm sure there's a lot of people here that would throw money at a gofundme/kickstarter page for one or more copies. That way he doesn't loose his IP by releasing the design and source, and he also doesn't have to do a lot of work to get them made.

     

    Heck, even have them bulk shipped to someone willing to mail them out for a free copy of their own cart.
