Our New Machine, Pandora

Right, OK.. I'm not sure I'm up to the task of producing a scale drawing, I had a go but I'm not very good and all I had was a pencil and ruler- no eraser even :rolleyes: as I said I'll look into 3D cad again and try to get into that. Thanks for those dimensions, they wont be wasted if I can help it- it will take some time though.

So, I did another mock up just to pass the time.. it really isn't much different from the first but I put in a fair bit of time on it so, it's going up anyway :lol:
I had real trouble portraying the smooth curves on the sides but, you get the idea.
I really like the look of the Retrocade against 2X, PSP etc and I'd like it even more with these triggers

heh!, sorry about that, my camera is kinda messed up :lol:

The idea was to show the possible dimensions of the final device, I would guess that it'll end up being approximately the size of a GP2X, but without the battery area bump


I took the liberty to improve the brightness a bit :lol:

Hey Eolair, do you think you could try making a design of the RetroGrade with the two bottom right buttons above the right stick?

Oh I forgot to add that the Retrograde has tiny buttons when you compare it to the psp. That may not be the best for the ergonomics of the device.

 

[colt chillin']

it's not gonna be white right?

 

[Alex.]

Please make it black/dark gray. White is too distracting and flashy. That should be the screen's job, not the case's

Imagine how great the F200 GP2X would have looked black

Melikes , very nice design.

Yeah, the scale isn't right. It was just a quick cut&paste job. The buttons should be 9mm which is slightly larger than the psp...I guess I should edit the picture

 

[X-Code]

Still looks pretty incredible

Bluetoorh is not a must have, but would be great if you want to surf the net on the go using a cellphone.

Wifi hotspots are becoming more common you know

I wasn't supposed to post this, but here is a video of a dev board running a quickly hacked together version of PSX4ALL.

Yeah, like anyone would believe you would have access to such a thing, and it'd be on YOUTUBE of all places. Nice try though!

I'm keep myself amused, it beats homework and I have "sources". If such a video existed I would have it and I would have to upload it to youtube as I would have nowhere else to put it.

 

[prairiefire]

I like the idea of having a microphone input also. Sure I have a cellphone but would be nice to use skype or google talk to quickly dial up a long distance friend with no charges or just for the ability to do so!

Haha, I love that song!

It's a good thing you're lying, otherwise the dev team would be in trouble. Putting something you're "not supposed to show" on YouTube is a good way to get just about everyone on the planet to see it.

Yea, they are getting pretty common. The suburb I live in is in the process of installing free wifi throughout the entire city.

I'm not quite that stupid But you are right, I don't have contacts close to the PSX4ALL dev team.
