SignGuy81 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I would think raspberry pi in a flashback 1 case? NM Your other post came in right before mine I see you made a case for it.

Elias2600 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Iam using a raspberry pi Zero(because the case is to small for the pi3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I would just use a flashback 1 case I know it was modeled after the 7800 but I think they look similar enough. EDIT: Also is this going to be setup to use the real 5200 controllers? If so and went my route you would have to do some modification to the case for the controller ports but I think it would be the way to go to have a nice looking 5200 flashback.

Elias2600 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Good idea. With a few modifications it would fit(sorry for the worst english iam from germany) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias2600 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 The 7800 have more of a rounded shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) The 7800 have more of a rounded shape That is true and the flashback 1 was modeled after it but I was just thinking it would be good enough and maybe even replace the sticker on the flashback 1 with one printed up that has all the grooves like on the 5200. EDIT: It is your project I know is just in beginning stages I was just trying to give ideas. What you are doing may look better than what I'm thinking when you are done with it as I don't know what all else you plan on doing with the case or if that is just an early prototype or what.

SignGuy81 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Do you know anyone in Germany with a 3D printer that would be good with taking a 5200 and drawing it out in CAD software so you can have a smaller version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
