Bought a cheap elgato thunderbolt dock off ebay. Opened it up because i do and was not expecting to see a full PCIE x4 slot on the inside. This could make for fun hackery

Cleaning up in the “office” and noticed my gameboy is not doing as well. Maybe I should convince Elliot Coll into looking at it lol

Slipstreamed both iPhone and Android NDIS drivers so tethering will be a thing. Not sure what I will need internet on the go for but hey its there. And yes I could use WiFi hot-spotting but this lets me also use the 4G/5G USB dongles too.

Windows 11 at 640x480 is kinda funny. Id love to try 320x240 but alas Id need to screw around with the EDID for that… Which I intend to do anyway

Modded and added the slimmer piece to take up the space in the “emi” filter. Might change it a bit to make it more seemless but works good enough

Had to modify the files as it turns out that my cable is much thicker than the stock PS5 USB-C cable.
*Insert joke about having thicker than usual dimensions*

Took about 3 months but finally found a grey usb c to usb c that isnt braided but PVC and to boot its also as thick as PS1 controller cables. Time to reprint @jeffchen.bsky.social’s PSX plug!

I heard on @thisweekinretro.bsky.social that Rich from @retrocollective.co.uk doesn't like a PCB with no LEDs. So for him I have expanded this board from 1 to 3 LEDs, because he is right, you always want to see what power rails are present at a glance!

Its tight in these things. So trying out some flat flex cables as a new-to-me idea.
And whilst 3D printed flat flex cables are the future, we’re not quite there yet, so if this works, I’ll be getting some polymide ones from @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social

Who ever is maintaining the 3D viewer, @kicad.org, I owe them a round of beer. It has taken so much guesswork and trial and error out of the design of the DDR cab project!

Can take my 78kg weight (need to hit the gym i know) without breaking. Kinda surprising, really.

Testing the design with thin plastic covers first. Not sure which has more screws, the main cabinet or just one side of the stage.

Things are getting tight enough that I might have to start using flat flex cables just to make it work how I wanted to

Messing around with translucent filament for the buttons. Needs tweaking but looking much better and now I can use the buttons without cocktail sticks!
