Thats real slick.
I plan on doing the same thing with some 360 PCBās I snagged from 2 360 SEās. That looks so good, cant wait to get them up and running.
Love this thread, I am working on a project box for my Dreamcast.
This thread needs more boxen!
I was spamming this a while back. I donāt remember if I pointed out that the internals were project boxes.
Iām still contemplating doing this to my HSS-0130. Itās untouched so far.
It would be a sin if you did anything but add a project box to an HSS-0130.
MORE BOXEN! Bumping a worthwhile thread.

So, I used a bit too much wire :sad:

That is okay, Iāll just stuff it in the box.

That is better. I know the feet are up. But Iād rather have those up than the screws. Radio Shack Project box is so weird. Feet are on top, and screws on bottom, and they give you metal plates. I donāt even like the way the plates look. So, Iām going to have a bunch of metal plates sitting around.
But, also, if you havenāt touched your HSS-0130 yet, I will soon have way to convert it and a few select other rare sticks that you wouldnāt want to be opening, like Namco, to a project box stick without you needing to open it. I just need the PCB I gonna use. Should be here tomorrow.
WOWā¦ Nerrage dropping tasty bits of a secretā¦ makes note to follow Nerrage around SRK forums
Just letting you know that I made a tutorial for this that can be found in the essentials forum linked in my sig. It used to be a secret, and was the old school way to do multi console back in the 90ās before Toodles came along.

Yes. rtdzign was definitely the original project box stick guy. At least, heās the one to be noted around SRK. It took me a while to figure out what these things were. I saw sticks without a PCB in them and I was like āWhat?ā But I figured it out after learning how to build sticks. But, I found a little secret about a PCB that has been floating around here, but never was as mainstream as MC Cthulhu. But, when abused, this little PCB is actually a great companion for anyone who has a lot of project boxes, but still has cool sticks that they wouldnāt dare open. Or even convert your precious MC Cthulhu stick into a project box stick without any additional mods to the stick!
Thatās far from accurate. I remember long ago and under my original screen name, ShinHed, that Toodles and TheRealNeoGeo were among the firsts on this forum and even tried to created a SRK standard pinout that I still wire my boxes to (just incase i whip out my NEO GEO). Before this forum, I remember Lawrence of Gamesx.com fame being the first.
Lets not forget our history.
I totally donāt take credit for coming up with it. I learned project boxes from some random webpage separate from SRK, but Iām sure other folks here knew about it before I came along.
I meant around SRK. I know itās very old. But rtdzign is prolly most famous on here. Sorry for the unclarity.
I never posted my PS2 -> MC Cthulhu box here.
WOW! Talk about levelling up. That thing is the Darth Vader of Project Boxes.
Love the 12pin miniCON, has just enough for 6 button genesis and 4 button Neo Geo. Mini DIN is a good idea too, I never liked RJ45.
any tutorials for this?
Youāre one of the most helpful posters here.
Iām no jdm714 :sad:

Built this to be able to debug my UD-CPS2 controller drivers on the go. Rather than lugging around a UD-CPS2 + a TV + my laptop, all I need is this + my laptop.
