What's new
@Escarioth your case looks amazing ! Sorry to hear about your aunt, I too have a terminally ill auntie with cancer - all's we can do is enjoy the time we have left with them. I'm seeing my auntie this weekend :thumbup:
Thx @evilsim

as for new update !
yes, proto is almost finished.
i only need to send it for paint / get my vynil and it's done.

i ran into a couple of small problems that i will take care on the next ones.
-I had to put washers to cover up the holes i messed up :P . It works for the proto.. Ill correct the case to have the holes corrected so i can put flush head screw (like my previous .125' case)
-put one of the astérix engraving (left side of the case) to be read correctly (sigh*)
-Change the hole + R on the top part...its a bit off center when you put in the PCB

and i guess that's pretty much it.
Next friday i should have the final look to show.

I was given a second try, about the asterix case i messed up :P

i'll redo the top case correctly.
AND will put in my 2 other protos that i was working on.

+Tetris (with name update and Alu 0.081)
+Sexy parodius

can't wait to see them in the end.

(so i delayed the paint process a little)

*edit : hmm.. seems like i lucked out on some stuff and got my hands on a TMHT - arcade game + battletoads....you can bet i'm gonna make stuff about them in the futur but here's a peek*

My Tetris wants one of your cases still.

I'm really looking forward to your upcoming CPS1 cases, even tho you don't have a Final Fight or a SF2:CE listed...
I figure I'll just take a Knights of the Round without any of the Title/logos/artwork on it (should fit a short/dash CPS1 A-board with B+C, just remember to leave a little notch by the C board for kick harness).

As for the cps-1 case,
i was wondering if all A board have the same lengh. I currently own a Dash. (so ...upcoming case will be for a dash)

What i had in mind was to make a standard that would fit any games but with a possible way to change the picture on the case with a lexan.
so basically the case would always be the same for any game asked...but i would only need to supply a diferent picture depending on the game.

i'm not ready yet, but would really love to make one in a near future.

Short and Dash have the same footprint, Long is different and IMO you shouldn't support it.
 
as for news !
Vinyl stickers are being printed, if lucky ill have 'em tonight and ready to check final product at last.
All that i will need to test is the sexy parodius's heat capacity in a closed aluminum case. Sure don't wanna have problems with that.
i'll test with 3hours straight powered on, while on Horizontal position. because vertical is probably ok.

as for brackets, if needed i can make some but i'll have to think of something more easy to install.. they're kinda a pain.
Would probably be easier to use the case horizontally and to store the cases vertically when not needed. Anyway, any ideas is welcome.

also .. well another family member just went into last days for cancer...man, this year's end will be sad.
God i hate that stupid disease.
 
annnnnd here's the finish product for both Tetris And astérix cases.
Sexy parodius is missing a piece....something went wrong with a vinyl so ill update a new picture tomorrow :)

what you think ? the new names on the side really get the case to a better level to my eye :)
can't wait to have them all in cases.
