[Idea] CPS2 MicroSD reading/writing from remote

[zeruel85]

Hello everybody,

since the release of The Punisher and maybe other titles, I wanna ask to @Darksoft and @Mitsurugi-w if it's possible to add some extra hardware stuff to read/write the microSD remotely, e.g. via FTP.
That's because is very uncomfortable to open the plastic cover of the B board every time we need to add some games.

I also tried with a SD extender cable, but it's ugly to see IMHO.

Any chance to work with a ESP, or RPI Zero, or something else to add this feature?

Anyway, I'm very happy with this new stuff, thanks for your work guys.

You can mount an SD extender to the coin counter hole on your B board, then it's super easy to remove your micro SD and looks good too.

That’s an excellent idea!

IDK, looks fine to me... (left)

Even snakes thru the vent holes easily/without modification to the shell.

I just got an extender ribbon and mounted it in one of the vent slots above where the jamma edge is (where jassin has his LCD mounted in the pic above). I dremeled out a small depression in the slots so you can just press where the SD card is and it pops out through the vent.

Coin counter would be a good place too though. Mine is in use

I've got the lcd mounted internally and with the SD card extender ribbon, it's all self-contained, no warts of panel mounts or usb bays sticking out from the shell...

Oh this reminds me, anyone got this side label for the DS F3 Multi?

I've got some Paypal for ya.

@PascalP you made some of these correct?

 

[PascalP]

Yes I made some, can share the print file.

Don't go out of your way or anything... But IF you see this happening at some future point just keep me posted.
