Hack Like Heck - Chris Rice - GamerMan Ultra Classic

Wooden cases are always so nice when complete! Good job on the PCB and getting it all to fit nicely! Screens can be difficult to wire GPIO but you overcame the obstacles easily! Great build!

Thanks Nickolas

Thanks Andy,

I genuinely forgotten the name of the SEGA Game Gear, it wasn't staged.  I watched the raw video of the IO board and then went out to buy a desk tripod (a few) and CNC'd another board, but ran out of time to re-shoot it, however the new tripods did come in handy for shooting the "final assembly" part and the stinger at the end.  For the last little bit I felt I had to use the auto focus, it was late at night and I was having difficulties focusing on what I was soldering let alone making sure the camera was in focus.

Your idea of doing a battery powered table top cabinet is pretty neat, you don't have to worry about plugging it in when you want to use it, i like it and you did a nice job building it.

Cheers,

Chris

Yep worked well,  was very engaging to watch! I'm in talks with my patent advisor , we'll see how it goes! ;P lol  ..Anyway, I'll finish the blogs and try iron out the rest of the clip editing madness, It would be less work dong an animation from scratch!.. but I'll get it done alright..eventually! I added a few update here: let us know what you think! Pi Play AR (I & II) Foto-Bloggin' a Zombie Horse.. in AR!!!?

Incredible build Chris!!  Always impressed with the creative items you bring to the table

Thank Rory I was trying to show the key bits of how I put it together, any chance we will get to see some video/details of your project?

"That old fat Sega Genesis thing".. LOL! Aside from some camera focus and audio level issues, this was a really cool video to watch! You've obviously got some great skills and the wood case is a nice touch.

Yah in a couple of instances it was done on purpose, but ya it could have used some more tweaking for sure.  Gotta further those "master" craftsman skills

Nice Build Video Chris, the detail shoots and wide range of skills was great to watch!

The wood looks great one thing about the video, I think your sound levels need a bit of a rework, sometimes the music is way louder than you or your voice alone is not loud enough, I was constantly fiddling on my volume controls.
