Title: An attempt to make a case for my Jackie Chan proto
Post by Martin on 21. Mar 2008 at 14:11

I bought this Jackie Chan proto from DreamTR a few months back and it came without a protective cartridge, which bothered me a lot.

Now one of my colleague is a tool freak and I asked him if he had a rotary tool I could borrow. If of course had such a device in his collection and a few days ago he remembered to bring it to work.

So my little project to "develop" a housing for my prototype came to life and I finally got around to doing the crafting (hah) today :-)

It actually turned out pretty nice I think....

Next project is finding a spare AVE cart so I can make a housing for my Solitaire proto....

Looks good Martin :) It would bug me for a proto to not have a case as well.

You did a good job around the edges. I have a dremel that I used when making the hole in the back of a NES for my USB CopyNES, and I couldnt even get that small hole to look clean.

Well I was extremely careful when cutting the corners as well as avoiding cutting my fingers off (ugh). The rotary tool I used is a Proxxon, I may have to get me one of these some day ::)

Hey, nice. Is that proto the same as the Famicom version of Jackie Chan? A pretty fun game.

that does look pretty nice. I don't think I would have the patience to do that.

I can't say for sure if there are any differences as I've only tested that the cart actually works... I have a feeling that its very close to - if not - the final game.

I'll say it again. You did a fantastic job cutting that out. You should see some of the hacked up messes I've made for my dev carts.

Good work man, they look much better with a case.

Hey Martin, which bit did you use to make your cuts? I just started doing this with some loose proto boards I had but I'm completely thrilled with the results. Any tips you could give on what tip and speed you used to make the cuts? Thanks!

I used a dremel tool, being damn careful not to loose a finger or an eye in the process :-)

I made some also, not with a tool, but heating a sharp knife and cutting through the plastic case. Will upload some pics and show y'all soon. I't's not superb but efficient enough IMO.

Sorry for the long wait, I made some cases for SNES proto's I have.
They aren't as good as yoursMartin but at least I tried and my proto's have a casing.
