NES Case for Raspberry Pi

[lackyluuk]

Hey pals

Since months I wanted to create a cool case for my recalbox. Unfortunately, most of the time you only find these standard cases which, of course, do what they should but in a more boring way

I came across with the idea to create small gaming consoles to put the Raspi into. To avoid some trouble with the manufacturer I changed the scaling, get rid of the logo, colours are as well not exactly the same as the original one, I chose the colours to make it look a bit more modern.

Fortunately, a friend of mine has the whole equipment to manufacture things like this and then we did a first prototype to see how it would look like

Actually, it works like this very well, but I am working on a version 2:

• Power LED next to the Start button
• Fully functional Start button
• Fully functional Reset button
• Maybe hide the SD card hole on the back just for cosmetics

I also work on a scaled Playstation 1 case and some more will follow!

Let me know what you think

@ian57 Yes, you are right, it looks very similar to this. But as you see there are tons of NES models out there There is not much room for design changes but since this is the first draft (which was inspired by the net) I am currently working on improving the existing designs to keep the proportions/scalings (hope not to get in trouble with manufaturers :D) and improve the functionality of the cases
I will soon share some new ideas
