The Sega Neptune!!!!

[c0ldb33r]

I'm actually working on one of these too myself...

Mine will use IDE ribbons to connect the cart lines..

the difference on mine however is that I'll be using a single power supply, not two.. I also am thinking of adding Composite out directly from the console, and Component video (via the JROK adapter). It would be a perfect combo, without any special cables..

lol, yours made me laugh:

Completed: 1%

1. Need to pick up Genesis, and receive 32X.
2. Picked up Genesis. Still no 32X though.

I'm sure it'll be great once more work is put into it, your signature on sega-16 just made me laugh

The one who was supposed to send me a 32X was having postage problems. The sig isn't updated though.

What IS done though is on the Genesis side:
1. Cartridge port removed
2. AV ports RGB, CSync, Composite traces cut and lifted
3. DC line from DC jack ready to go to 32X (for single power adapter)

That is totally badass

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..

Mods in Photoshop: Scaling and skewing (to correct angles of original pictures)

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.
