This is so much smarter, I was just digging in my shop to find a hacksaw blade that wasn't rusted.Just wiggle it off with pliers.

Should be pretty easy for me to make an adjustment for this, can you measure the height of the dsub connector?This is a great case. Thanks for sharing the model. There is one outlier pcb, mushihimesama, that has the vga port populated:

the metal plate of the connector is 30.9 mm x 12.6 mm, which covers the footprint. Thanks in advance!Should be pretty easy for me to make an adjustment for this, can you measure the height of the dsub connector?
I mean the easy option is remove the DSUB connector.
These are CAVE pcbs guys, let's not do that. All the mushi 1's have them. I don't think it actually does anything but it's populated for some reason.Just wiggle it off with pliers.
If we're being fair, you're hiding it in an enclosure, no one would ever know WHAT PCB it is. So they wouldn't know the connector was missing anyway.These are CAVE pcbs guys, let's not do that.

I see your point. I just don't like the idea of removing components to have it fit better in an enclosure. If I were to sell it on at some point, I'd prefer it to be as it came from the factory. Just as if I were to buy one second-hand if there were two available to choose from, I'd choose the one with all the components attached.

I think you're taking Xtra and I more seriously than we are.I see your point. I just don't like the idea of removing components to have it fit better in an enclosure.

Please don't forget to make a version with extra tall serial comm port hole please!!!Should be pretty easy for me to make an adjustment for this, can you measure the height of the dsub connector?
My man, you are so nervous for NO reason. Just watch my simple Cave PCB repair video, made just for you. @buffi can suck it, his repair threads are SOOOO long, no one can follow that shit. Mine are under 4 minutes and get you everything you need to be up and running in no time, IF you have the right tools of course.These are CAVE pcbs guys, let's not do that.

Hey, everyone has a different sense of humor my friend! No offense intended!I don't think that video is very funny @XtraSmiley . You're coming across as a dick. Not cool.
Don't watch it, apparently it's not funny and I come across as a dick.I didn't watch the video, but I did see the thumbnail and I approve of the choice of tool. Little tap on the Altera works most of the time in my experience.
It's clearly a joke. No one is ACTUALLY suggesting the port be removed.These are CAVE pcbs guys, let's not do that. All the mushi 1's have them. I don't think it actually does anything but it's populated for some reason.![]()

It still blows my mind people truly believe someone forked over that sort of money for that and at no point anyone in the chain of ownership has dumped the roms. Of course they're dumped. Are they available to the public: nope! But no one is sitting on a 20k ticking time bomb, and usually the private dump gets sold alongside the board so the new owner doesn't need to worry if it dies. Lets you know whose been around a minute in this scene and who is still effectively new or never paid any attention. I still stand by it wouldn't make me flinch to remove and replace those chips, but I also believe it's 100% unnecessary because they're already dumped.I wanted to try and get $20k together and get that rare Cave game and give it to @rewrite so he could desolder the shit out of it and dump it, but even regulars on the A-P forums got upset at the suggestion.
