I will be making my own website to comprehensively post how-to guides and modding / hacking information on consoles, once phase two of this project is completed. Phase 1 was making the system case controls and screen; Phase 2 is the N64 console hacking (then Phase 3 will be the second...

You only need to incorporate two tact switches. Solder one wire to each tact switch to ground and the other wire solders to the diagonal pin on the tact switch for the shoulder button connection (left shoulder, right shoulder). Tact switches are slim so should be easy to install.

Looking nice. I liked Advance Wars on the GBA but found it frustrating as the game really doesn't like you losing a few units, and has too many units for its own good. Needs to be a bit friendlier and slightly easier. Will yours be??

Indeed, you need a small D-pad mobo and the mobo board not too thick. Too big and you make yourself lots of problems getting it to fit and too thick and you have problems getting the case shut and also catching on the case. A nice small one can be found from a Game & Watch, especially the...

There are quite a few D-pad guides on this forum, it really isn't that hard to do the mod. One thing you do need of course as well as a soldering iron is desoldering braid!

Using a smaller D-pad mobo would have helped (eg G&W, GameBoy, etc). You can solder to the traces if you sand the trace to show the copper, add some flux and solder to the point. Flux is great to solder to traces.

Most postings here are just plain padding. So much talk and hype about Pandora, waste of time, wait until it is available and then talk about it. People just like to post for the sake of posting and also post questions about things that have been answered so many times before. The GP2x is...

Excellent, not got time to try it out for a while (busy on my modding/hacking projects). Before I had to select the 16:9 option to get 3:2 output via TV-out, in and out of the menu before it worked. Is this fixed now to work as a default setting via the menu from start?

Yes, Gruso, nice one. It is always good to use simple solutions, and in this case, not needing anything extra is a nice bonus!

You can always make one from some clear plastic you have in the house; packaging or perspex, etc.

Oh, stumbled on this. I believe the MKII screen is compatible, although you won't get touchscreen. The MKI screen will not be compatible. Best for you to e-mail EvilDragon, he will know and might even be able to supply a new screen.

No one knows if the Pandora will be a pile of poop or a good system. There is just so much hype for hype sake on this site, with one poster trying to out-do the others about something they haven't even used. The GP2x supports lots of emulation, however it has its share of problems, as we all...

You only have to wire a button to the two centre-click contacts on the rear of the mobo on the old joystick connections.

Exophase - sure, no problem - I have used emulators (and still do), often the sound quality goes eratic or doesn't sound right, sometimes games have some graphic glitches. In contrast, an original game working on its console runs at full speed and no unintended video glitches, as it was designed...

This doesn't mean much. How about small pics of each so people know what they are voting for? Is anyone going to listen to this poll anyway (it would be nice to think so, but I guess development is past that stage).

The SNES has many very good games on it. I didn't give the SNES much credence until recently, I played various games on emulation, then sourced them on e-bay and car boot sales. I now have about 34 games and three SNES consoles (one will be hacked apart in my current project, or two if it...

People seem to think firmware 2.1.1 is the best one for the F100, so what benefits, if any, are there in changing from this?

Hooka - did you also manage to get the save working quickly in firmware 2.1.1 as you had it in firmware 1.4?

Better off having a centre click button elsewhere in the case.
