Oh and a quick update. I am going on holiday soon. I want it done before I leave.
I've come up with a swan song piece to machine and will crack on today. Then I can tackle the wiring, which needs tidying and cable tying etc. Oh and also properly routing and so on. As of now it is all just slapped in.
When I get back from holiday I will start something completely new. My Neo Geo console was delayed for a year and I am out of patience. I have kept the pre order alive, but yeah just super annoyed !. I got an email from Smyth's Toys saying "Your pre order has changed to 26th September" and I thought bugger me, it's actually going to be early ! stupid me, it has been delayed until next September grrr.
So, given I have a Pi sitting around doing nothing because @Cenedd never came to set it up the sod. So I may as well use it.
So expect some sort of console design, but quite radical. I want to be able to play Neo Geo and I am not paying out what they cost. Pees me off too because I even pre-emptively bought a sodding very expensive game and it's just sat there as dead weight.
However. It soon dawned on me that the Neo Geo was not going to make my dreams come true. I figured easily there would be a multi cart for them. However, not only are they unbelievably expensive (about £300) you can't even get the AES ones any more. And, the games I want to play are typically stupid expensive. I mean, sell your house for the collection. Baseball Stars 2, Top Player's Golf, Viewpoint, Wind Jammers and so on. So aye, sod it, I will make my own !

OK so here is probably the last piece.
Instead of carving the yellow with a 1mm bit I went down to 0.8.
It’s so precise and sharp. Only issue was the yellow too over two hours. That said it didn’t eject a single piece.
Sadly had I done the side panels like that it would have taken about two days lmao.
