YEAH, LOOKING GOOD... I thought you planned to put the jack in the bottom originally? That was the AD/DC input pictured in my sketch, though taking a leap out of my MP3 player's book, I could put them both together!

Well, I finally finished the underneath of my SS portable! Though rather show just the underneath, I decided to just upload the whole design sheet:

it sounds great, and it seems like sega/hitachi had this in mind with the Hi-Saturn Navi. it was the only official portable. Many people nowadays mod their own or some knockoff companies make their own versions without getting the rights (see: Treamcast). But if you're looking for something official, your best bet is the navi - If you can find one!

I had initially thought about vacuum forming, but I don't think it has the versatility that I would require

Whilst I haven't found a duff Saturn just yet, I have just started on creating a physical model (from Styrofoam), so far, one function button (pause), the 'on' LED, 3 key buttons and the analogue stick, just about to start on the actual body right now! Pics to come soon!! *EDIT 24/12/12 2:02am*1st picture... still a way to go yet:

Thanks guys, actually noticed some issues with the first build, but I still have nearly 7/8ths of my styrofoam board, though I hope to post more pics soon!

I know it's been a long while since my last pics, sadly I've been very very busy with other things, however, I have not forgotten, given up, etc, on the project. So then, I have a few new pics, not of the main unit itself, but one of the external components... the memory card: And for those out there who I'm sure are going to ask this, yes it does fit inside the memory card slot of a SEGA Saturn, and quite comfortably I might add:

hey zentron good to see this is still going. I got a little sad when I thought this project just died. Can't wait to see more updates! I like the design of that memory card, looks very similar to existing ones

Not dead, just pushed a little bit to the side, as whilst I bought a 'for parts' console, I've actually managed to get it working, so I didn't have the heart to take it apart and cut it up for the components, I decided to keep it as a back-up unit! So essentially, I need to go out and buy another unit that is beyond repair, so I can take it apart and cut it up for the components! It's got a few things I need to do to it, mostly just cosmetic, such as the two screws on the back, the grip groove and those six sticky-out-bits on the front, though I am going to leave them till later! The next thing I'll get on with, is the CD drive compartment on the back of the main unit, luckily I have some pieces of clear plastic for the viewing window

nothing wrong with keeping a repaired console for a spare unit. I wouldn't be able to cut up a saturn I got working either. Seeing a disc spin with the clear plastic would look so epic when your walking down the street. Even if its just a little portion of the disc visible people would be like woah what is that person holding As i mentioned before can't wait to see the newest ideas and prototypes for other parts of the project. Keep it up!
