Reg Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Morning All, Building a solution to the MiSTer FPGA in a PC type case that is 100% inspired by these videos, but I want to a little more. The case came from here. https://www.checkmate1500plus.com/ Unlike the videos, I wanted to have larger buttons for the MiSTer. The proble with the Checkmate case that it is a work or art. It is very retro, very Amiga like nad has lovely angles on everything. The designer was kind enough to make the .STEP files available, so using Fusion 360 it was possible to modify these. The final print is very rough and not final as I am waiting an LCD to arrive - but first steps are promising ! The buttons came from here... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083K2821B/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Had a chance to get back to this. The case I am using does not have provisioning for the MiSTer FPGA so had to print a baseplate for it as well as design it. This supports holding the device firmly in place. The little hardware module that you're seeing in the cable run for anyone that is interested is a POLOLU-2809. The POLOLU-2809 allows the device to be powered on with a push of a button from the front of the case when wired up. Base plate printed. Device installed in the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionic_beast Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hot Damn, That's cool! The lights, displays, this thing looks like a piece of eye candy. The case is one thing, but the fact that you got the display to show whatever system/game your using/playing is something that belongs on r/OddlySatisfying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice Reg Thank you - the problem with it... ...lol... ...is that I am spending way too much time using it ! That means it's doing what it should - but of all the retro stuff I've ever owned, the MiSTer FPGA concept ticks way too many boxes ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
