    Sega Neptune - Building a Sega Neptune

    Getting closer. Just gotta do some small things here and there, and some cosmetic additions. The not fun part will be to test print this to see how off my measurements are. You know the saying, just cause it fits in cad doesn't mean it'll fit.

    I've seen a model of the MD2 shell but not internally. Even if they did, I wouldn't know how to incorporate their design into mine? Been using calipers to measure the cartridge slot of my 32X as well as the circuit board. Of course, a lot of measurements from the MD2 shell. Essentially, my...

    I eventually figured out a solution. I simply copied the groove and then drew lines to it. Much easier solution. I was also able to get the grooves all over the housing just be using extrudes line feature. I'm surprised how well that works. Some of the model didn't play nice with it until the...

    Sega Neptune - Building a Sega Neptune

    Been a while but I had my COSAM Neptune board built a while ago. Been busy instead trying to model the shell to 3D print. I've gotten it looking like a Neptune but not working like a Neptune yet. This maybe a shot in the dark but I don't know how to fix a problem I have where I can't extrude...

    I completed the board and it doesn't output anything. TV doesn't even pick up a signal. There are components I missed because I have no idea what if any I put there. They are marked with an asterisk. Anyone have a clue what goes there? **EDIT** A person that goes by the name RGBeter...

    Is there a board viewer for the Cosam neptune board? I'm not getting 5V or 3.3V and I can't figure out why? The buck converter is putting out 1v or 0.8V depending on where I test it.

    Getting close but I'm stuck again. What do I put where it says VA1? I do have a VA1 32X but I don't know if I should put a 47pF, 100pF, or leave it unused? 1774678320 I think it's 100pf. Found the answer here.

    I need help identifying a part I need. D801 says I need a 2A RECT D_SOD-128. I'm assuming it needs to be a 2 amp rectifier size SOD-128, but is it a diode rectifier and if so which way does it get installed?

    Sega Neptune - Building a Sega Neptune

    Got the easy part done. All the major chips are on the Neptune board. I'm at the hard part where I need to source all the surface mount devices that need to be placed on the board. Before I go hunting on Digikey and AliExpress for parts, is there anything else I can salvage from the Genesis...

    Sega Neptune - Building a Sega Neptune

    I got the boards as in 5 of them. No components, which I may regret. They have a nice interactive diagram that shows which components go where. I wonder if I can get most of this off the Sega Model 2 board? Found a photo of what it should look like. Like, 48X 100nf capacitors? At least...

    I'll post here when I do. I wonder how good I am at Fusion 360 to make that Neptune case?

    That's why I wanted to do it. For the awesome looking shell. Doom Resurrection is also pretty cool. I'm also hoping to put in an HDMI connector as well. Haven't really looked into it.

    That explains why I can't find the stl. It doesn't exist. Guess I'll use the Genesis Model 2 shell. I did order the board from JLCPCB but without components. Not sure what I'd be missing without it being populated?

    I wanna make a Neptune using this PCB design and want to know if someone can share the Neptune shell 3D print files? I want to print the shell myself.

    The future of Switch 2? Success or failure?

    Steam isn't really a monopoly because you do have other stores. The problem is other stores suck. Valve doesn't need the Steam Deck to sell successfully to get 3rd party developers on board to making games work on it. Switch 2 on the other hand does need to sell well. This is why I'm baffled...
