The Sega Neptune!!!!

[evildragon]

I've been wanting to something like this for a long time. I wish I had the skills to make the actual plastic case like the prototype. Are there any dimensions on the web for the prototype Neptune?

I can approximate this via the cartridge slot size.

Brb with a mockup...

EDIT:



I used the cart slot as the "base size", remembering that the neptune picture was originally angled a little bit, and the cart slot appears thinner than it really is as a bezel is hiding a small portion of it..

So from the looks of it, The Neptune is a just a bit larger. The website says he can make custom cases if you pay him. If I get one of these working, I'm gonna e-mail him to request a neptune case be made.

So far, I removed the the genesis' cartridge slot, soldered wires to it, and I'm gonna take apart my 32x later today.

aweosme.. im thinking of taking on this project as well. It shouldn't be that hard. Are you going to also keep the double power supply or figure up one that will power both?

Very Very bad ass, How much you want BreakPack???

I'm planning on using 1 power supply for them. I'm currently gonna use 2 just for testing but next week I will get a single one. I've got some pics of what I've done so far:

you probably want to move that heatsink and voltage regulator, if you want the 32x cart slot to line up with cart slot on the case.

I'm gonna move it later. I just wanted to get the wires soldered up last night. I'll get to it later today. I should have searched for a Genesis with the other board. It would have made things a bit easier. This one is a little more cramped.
