Nice. Glad to see another owner. I built one a while back and got a huge kit of adapter PCBs too. There is a special printable Shell for it now that's low profile and a maker has an awesome vinyl overlay for it.

Good call. I had seen that, appreciate the link. I ordered up the vinyl cover. The riser for the zif socket I could only find through a UK distributor ‘retro lemon.’ The US distributor on eBay emailed me and said he’ll get some on his next batch order. I’m upgrading my Prusa 4 to a 4s today and I’ll print the case up. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I built one of these some time back. It's fantastic. I use it quite often when debugging pcbs and the creator is constantly offering patch updates for more chips.

I built mine back in 2022. This is what it looks like. It's in a custom 3D printed case with a vinyl printed sticker on top of it (same grade as what's used on arcade machine control panels)

Wow. That's nice! I might have to dress mine up too.

I wish support were added for 16 bit chips (8 bit I can test with my programmer).
My workaround for 16 bit chips is digging for an other game that uses the same type and installing the RAM to be tested on it.

I just upgraded my mk4 to the Mk4S and she is in the middle of this exact case on her maiden voyage.I built mine back in 2022. This is what it looks like. It's in a custom 3D printed case with a vinyl printed sticker on top of it (same grade as what's used on arcade machine control panels)
