Pi Cart...in the flesh

Been a while since I've posted stuff. The Pi Cart is fully assembled. I replaced the 2 USB connectors with 2 covered connectors. I had problems with glue getting in the other ones when I was try to get them into place. Designed a new NES label as well. Here's what it sort of looks in the inside. The controller USB ports and the power port switched places when I changed to the new USB connectors. It's pretty much done. I wanted to use some...

Hdmi to VGA

Life of Pi

Finally bought a Raspberry Pi. Seems pretty neat so far. If this project goes well I will probably buy acouple of more. I like the idea of having an old 300mhz computer in my pocket. Those are the computers that got me hooked in the first place so it's only fitting that I go back to my roots.

Originally the Spintendo was dead as of last post...Well using a PC in inside the Nintendo shell is still dead...However, with that being said I'm going to take some advice from someone on the Hyperspin forums and use a Wii.

Pi Nes

Time to bring in the new year with some new ideas and throw out the old. First and foremost, I've decided to abandon the Spintendo. I know sad right :( . The idea isn't dead...infact I'm going to move into a more practical build using the raspberry pi. I've had alot of problems with sound not coming out through the hdmi. It's def a motherboard issue and not one I'm going to replace again. Basically it means no more Hyperspin...more sad faces please... :( It saddens my heart, but this is a more practical solution. Check it out. Before the Pi...
