Yep! Still works  

Great! I'll have to do some thinking about how I would incorporate something like this into a faux cart. Sucks for the end label.

 

Maybe I could do something like yours and set the faux cart up as removable over it.

what if you put the flash drive inside the 3d printed faux cart, (harmony cart?) 

 

then you could hide it all and have the end label on the 'cart'.

Set it up like PMP, then make the faux cart like one of those novelty flash drives. That would be cool. I would need a small flash drive and I'm not sure I have the tools to alter the faux cart, but probably.

The plug would go on the bottom edge, of course.

yep. I have access to a filament and a resin printer, and the guy has limited model making/modding skills. we could it make it happen.

have to find one of those tiny low profile flashdrives. I would be tempted to just hide everything inside the afbx, no faux carts at all.

although, making separate flashdrives, like one for comercial and one for homebrew would cut the bootup time in half and easier to navigate a smaller menu screen.

man, lots of ideas.

Hi guys - I actually made the usb connecter in order to connect other controllers (like Paddles, etc.) as the two joystick ports are digital only (don't know how to incorporate paddle lines for the RPi or if it's even possible).

 

Just mentioning it

You could stuff the whole thing in the AFBX, but you'd have to open it up every time to add a new homebrew. I don't even think WiFi SD cards would go through the plastic.
