The DDCast (with pix) (1/29/06)

Post by Nemesis »

As a few of you know, i have been working on many mods for the dreamcast, and i decided it was about damn time i posted pictures, i just took these today (1/28/06)...I plan to keep updating this, showing what i get done (even if it is a slow process, because i can only work on it on saturdays because of school...)

I've decided to call it the DoubleDreamCast

Here is basically most of the hardware set-up:
Image

Here is the case in it's early stages:
Image

Here is a crappy close-up of the screen:

This is basically what i am doing/have done:

1.LCD screen - 100%
2.Modded Genesis/NES pad port - 80%
3.RCA out - 80%
4.Internal wireless controller - 10%
5.Internal VMUs - 90%
6.Case - 30%
7.Rumble reactant LED chain - 40%
8.Over-clocking - 50%
9.Mini-heatsink - 100% (not visible in pix)
10.Internal VGA - 20% (need to take a trip to radioshack)
11.Modchip - 50%

Tell me waht you think! :D ...I also need suggestions for a paint-scheme w/matching LEDs, and i'm not sure if i should do a window or not...


*EDIT* Dammit, i can't get my image-hosting thing to stop re-sizing my 1st picture.....

Yep, I'm going to putty it, sand it, and then paint it, I just got my OC chips in the mail, so i'll be doing that soon too...I also forgot to mention what the rumble reactant LED chain was...Where the bumps are on the top of the console, i am going to drill holes and put in LEDs (i was thinking red-yellow-green-yellow-red). these LEDs will light up when there is rumble in the game (they also det dimmer or brighter depending on how much rumble there is, this feature is pretty much made jsut for REZ :D)

To include like a killion mods into one convenient "new" case.

And there really is no point to most hardware mods.

well, the more i think about it, and the more measurements i do, the more i doubt that the internal vmu thing will work, so what i'm planning to do is still have something like it

Image

i will mount the two slots so that you can still see the VMUs while playing, i didn't get as much done as i had hoped this weekend, it seems like i just get one project after another in school...

but the main reason i didn't get much done was my innability to find a proper putty solution for filling in the cracks between the two case-halves...I was recommended bond-o (the crap that can be used with cars) but idt that's the kind of thing i'm looking for...

if anyone knows of something that would work for this situation please post it!! it needs to fill the cracks and be sandable, a brand name would be much appreciated! :D

*EDIT* and yes, i know the drawing was crappy, i did it in like 2 minutes...

You should have space for a internal vmu if used one of those interact ones that didnt have the screen. You could strip the housing off and put it on its side near the controller port.

the point of the internal vmu wasn't for memory, i know i'd have the space for one, but i wanted to see the screen of the vmu while playing the game, so now i'm just going to put the ports where i'd be able to see their screens and the main screen while playing.
