I think you'll find if you took a high res photo of your GP2x with flash on, that'd be how it'd turn out too.

Here's an idea Telco.

Why not do this for people and charge for the price of lego + manhours, etc.
$42 including shipping for legos, $45 plus shipping for bob plus manhours plus shipping to you. It'd end up being like $100+.

Well, there ya go! I meandered a bit from my design, making the base fit the BOB better. Happy accidents and all ;) It's nice and secure, and I can see the power and USB leds when they're on.

Also: GneoGeo works very nicely with a USB joystick; Metal Slug X was a treat to play :D

Here's Pepone's stealth post :lol:

Its only 1-player ATM, and no way that I know of to re-configure the buttons, but Metal Slug X worked just fine 'out of the box'

I used a very old, very crappy Logitech Wingman ... BUT:

We just ordered 2 of these

... free shipping for orders over $24 too, so just get a cheapo SD card reader or something along with it to get the free shipping ...


And aren't you like ... 13 or so? Where are you getting the $$ for all these geek toys, eh?

With the problems with the cradle, this looks like a better solution.

The only problem is the developer version of the BOB doesn't seem to be available any more :(
 
Wasn't the developer board £30? They are selling it for less, not more...

EDIT: Ah, I see what you mean. It's $5 more than the cradle.
