Projects

A good friend of mine has been busy playing with the Orange Pi board (a more powerful version of the Raspberry Pi). He’s set up a WordPress website actually hosted on the tiny computer, and is keeping a blog of his network and programming projects.

I have finally got round to painting the metal covers on my Sega Naomi universal cabinet.
Looks great with new lettering on the side.

The aluminium were sand blasted and primed before painting.

Very happy with the results.

I’m currently building an Amiga 1200 system tower.

So far the motherboard is in the case and booting from HDD. Power is supplied via the AT PSU to the Mediator PCI busboard.
Just waiting for the Blizzard CPU card and Voodoo3 before any further.

New project page added describing how I got the Sega Netboot to work with the Raspberry Pi.
Much easier than connecting a laptop to the arcade machine to boot a new game.

Just some photos and noted on restoring my Amiga CD32 console.

Just some info on how I got a Dreamcast to run in my Naomi universal cabinet.

To go with my modified Sega nomad with new LCD screen, I made a high capacity Li-ion battery pack.

Just finished the Nomad screen mod. Looking good.

Nomad Screen LCD upgrade project

At last I’ve found an LCD that works with the Genesis/Nomad video signal.

The viewing angle is not as good as one of the other screens I’ve tested, but the contrast and pixel detail is very good. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a brightness adjuster, so I’ll have to change a resister value to increase the brightness as it looks a little too dark at times.

So far I can see it will make a big difference when installed.
After I get this done I’ll start on the battery mod.

Continuing my theme of handheld games after fixing my Game Gear, I’m now working to fit a new LCD screen to my Sega Nomad.

More info soon.
