Dreamcast Online Posting

So, being a dork I am, I'm wondering what you guys can type on this topic via The Dreamcast online. Basically, type anything you want on this topic as long as the post came from your Dreamcast. Well, enjoy typing slowly (If you have no keyboard). :)

Psy-Q for Nintendo 64?

This may sound like the same thing I asked before, but was there ever a Psy-Q development kit for the N64? I mean, I heard of one for the SNES, Playstation, and even Saturn. But was there ever an N64 version? If there is, can you show me the download link (clean download, please!). If not, that's fi...

GameBoy screw replacement?

Hello. My Original Game boy's speaker is dead, so I need to replace it with a working one. Thankfully, it doesn't look terribly hard (outside of soldering), but I'm curious if there are any replacement screws (not a screwdriver) if I ever lose one or I shave one of them off (not that I would..... Ju...

Yes, that's kinda what I meant.

NES manual creation

Hello, now I'm curious about this: How do I make manuals for NES games?

Is there a template? Do I have to photoshop a random scan? Is there a certain size I should use?

Any answer for any of these questions are fine. Thank You.

NES label size in GIMP

Hello. I've just created a prototype label for nes cartridges. The problem is: I can't find the perfect size for the whole thing.... atleast for GIMP. Does anyone know the right size (Either width, height or both since one would change the other) for the labels? Thank You.

SpritePad Color problem

For some reason, whenever I try to get a different color for my hero's legs and I clicked on overlay next sprite, the color is the exact same as the arms. Now, I can't really show a screenshot for this, but I can tell you this: I click on overlay next sprite, I choose different colors for the next o...

These boards can then be programmed using the programmer board available a...

Re: NES cart production

The major problem for the PCB is that it needs to have between 1mm and 1.2mm pitch, and that have to be absolutely enforced. Most producer only offer 1.6mm Also you'd want to have gold plated contacts. True.... A NES cart case with a 3D printer ? Interesting concept. However I'd be afraid it would ...

NES cart production

If I was mass producing my NES game and selling it off, what company should I ask? I'm talking more about the PCB, Cart shell/casing, and more likely the EEPROM installation. I heard from an interview with the Battle Kid developer that he gets them from someone in Hong Kong, but I'm not sure who it ...

Re: Picking the right NES donor

Why not try the ReproPak? http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=42 Don't forget the Ciclone. http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=37 As for the battery: I'd probably just solder in 2 wires: One from the board to the battery, and the other from...
