An alternative approach is to use the original casing for the modem and route the ribbon cable through the gaps. Best option might be to route it to the back (needs a slightly longer cable) and build a separate case for the Sammy. Alternatively the Sammy could be placed under the Dreamcast by raising it (some kind of casing, risers, etc).

Anybody got any other ideas?


Hi!
Did you made any more progress on it?
My kit will arrive soon and I'm looking into ways to build it.
EDF! EDF! EDF!

Any updates on a feasible case design for the mod? I'd love to enclose the assembled kit.

This has been at the back of my mind ever since I've posted, but haven't gotten around to continuing the design yet. In fact, I've yet to even assemble the kit :( . I'm quite sure a case design is doable, just need to find the time and motivation.

Hey all

Just tried putting one of these kits together earlier today.

Anybody ever have an issue with the Dreamcast not actually booting up with the kit connected?

Even if I disconnect everything and just have the raw board itself connected without flex cable the Dreamcast just doesn't boot.

Any ideas?

Did any one else manage to get this going ?, love to get a BBA alternative. What is necessary needed altogether and the price for every thing if any one could help that will be appropriated :geek:
