This is a case for a PSX SNAC for the MiSTer Multisystem Console.
Requirements:
- 2 x PSX Controller / Memorycard Ports, I harvested mine from a third party Multitap from MAXPLAY, but an official Multitap should work too
- 8 x M2x8 screws
- 8 x M2 nuts (optional)
- 1 x PSX SNAC (https://github.com/blue212/SNAC-PSX) - just search for “PSX SNAC” at eBay
- Solder iron, solder tin, enameled wire, a few cables and pin headers
- 1 x print of psx_snac_case
- 1 x print of psx_snac_case_backcover
- 1 x print of psx_snac_case_clamp1
- 2 x print of psx_snac_case_clamp2
I never printed the final version of the back cover, I hope it fits properly.
Description:
- Print the files. It is a really tight fit and you should be sure everything fits before you solder
- Testfit the ports. The fitting is tight and I needed to cut a tiny bit of the ports to make it fit
- Optional: Insert the M2 nuts. Insert the nuts into the slots and screw in a M2x8 screw to pull the nut into its slot. Remove the screw again.
- Mount the side clamps (psx_snac_case_clamp2). You still should be able to get the ports in and out
- Remove the composite port from the SNAC adapter, I also cut away the part of the PCB where the port sits, it might by hard to fit in the adapter otherwise
- Testfit the hardware and make a plan how to connect everything. Have a look on the photos to get an idea how I did it.
- Solder the adapter according to this thread: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=5232
- Mount the Ports and the hardware, I added cable ties (and a bit hot glue) to the cable to make the tight bends I needed
- Mount the center clamp
- Mount the back cover
