Nice build,

I would be interested what joystick you used?
Also how you installed the back buttons.

The Cartridge is not connected it seems?

THX!

The L1&2 and R1&2 buttons are just tact switches with caps on them (http://www.ebay.com/itm/50pcs-Black-Rou ... 1774622950?). Most systems tend to not use them.

I also got my joystick off ebay. It is the one for a PSP 1000. The joystick work great especially for neogeo/mame/fba.

The cartridge actually serves no purpose in my build. It is there for only looks. I wanted my build to show off as much as much of the inside components/pcb as possible. It is the game rocket power.

I didn't use silicone or anything to "caulk" around any of the USB ports but I am using one of these USB silicone plugs to cover my USB port when not in use. I bought the white pack. Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/13-Silicone-Pro ... 2402468447

Cool thanks. I've gone for some sugru carefully crafted. Once dry if it looks good I'll keep it else I'll remove. Those caps look nice! Might get some. Was going to copy Hoolyhoo for the usb cover but I'll get these and weigh them up!

The video I used in my second video is from youtube channel: kittcast.net
video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4wbXJIhelU

I converted it to 4:3 to use with my GBZ.
