easy_ps2 is great. I went with option 2 for lower profile and ease of opening the case (and I like looking at the hardware used to attach stuff). Waiting on the black cases as I have some silly ideas for a theme.

since there is a bit of a dmg-recharging vibe going on like this awesome project, wanted to share something thats wrapping up on the workbench! cables are done (as you can see below), and the circuit prototype is done but i'm changing the LED/footprint so its *basically* done. i forgot to take a picture of the LED part before i shut down for the night, but it mounts in the exact same way as batt_dmg except there is more than one color light. in fact, this is going to be batt_dmg_v2!
but first, we've got luftek adapters on the way! and after checking with luftek they'll be totally compatible with the recharge circuit.
these cables are a loomis-instigated undertaking, big ups to him on that front. planning on three lengths at first, with a longer 'on-stage' version available later

Can't wait for the USB cables. I just built one of my own. You should stick a USB splitter as well so I can use two on one USB port. My laptop only has two and I need the other one for my Arduino Boy.
Can you show off any samples of this recharge thing? I'm curious as to how it works.

hey everybody!
a lot has been going on lately, and the coming months will be pretty busy with some new products and happenings,
i've held off sending out a newsletter for a couple weeks to wrap a bunch of stuff into one, so here it goes!
we're very happy to now be carrying the new luftek DMG power adapters which allow you to power the DMG console via a USB cable cable with a male micro-USB plug. very handy in case you need a quick emergency backup for dead batteries! http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/lu … er-adapter
and, after a long wait, we've found some more of the CGB snap-on faceplates. i've seen some really great paint-jobs on these guys, they make a great (removable) medium for that type of artsy stuff: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/cg … -faceplate
the (super) NB's closet has made us some more keychains! we get asked about these a bit whenever they are out of stock. the colors (and wood) in this batch are really nice. the yellow and pink colors are so bright it made capturing them well with our camera unnecessarily frustrating (and ultimately mostly futile). http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/ki … t-keychain
thursday customs sent in one of their incredible RGB boys, the pushbutton mod on this guy feels wonderful and its overall a pretty impressive console (truly). http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/cu … gb-nes-dmg
speaking of, thursday customs' triple prosounders are restocked! http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/triple-pro-sounder
as are the usb 64M smart cards: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card
we're (really really) happy to have gotten a bunch of the new R10T33R 7" records for the shop... if you like vinyl, or chip, or even better both, you should pick this album up. http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/r10t33r-step-it-up
pretty exciting news this past week too... new thretris cases! its been a while since we've been able to carry his stuff, its always high quality and he pays attention to details very well. http://store.kitsch-bent.com/category/by-brand-thretris
and to cap off a crazy long newsletter, LOOMIS sent in a new console too! http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/cu … -and-greys
phew... did you make it all the way through that? be prepared for more goodness soon 
till next time, keep chipping!

oh, i *think* those are samples from the upcoming NES buttons we've done.... (i sent some to justin when they showed up i believe)
mr. thursday, is that correct? don't want to be wrong on that part. i guess i should pull out the bag of samples and that console and check myself huh 
based on the pic now, i'd say yes. i'll check later and correct this if i'm wrong.

hey everybody!
bit of an unusual product to introduce today.... clones of the Game Boy Color and Pocket consoles!
http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/gb-boy
http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/gb-boy-colour
both can play the Game Boy-style cartridges. thebitman looked into the audio qualities of one of these on cm.o here if you care to check it out: http://chipmusic.org/forums/post/167248/#p167248
if you're into this kind of stuff, they are worth picking up for sure and i tried to get a good spread of the colors while they were still available to us. hopefully more to come in the future, but no promises,
till next time! keep chipping,
matt

there is also a totally clear-clear GB Boy, but ran out of image allotment on bigcartel, i'll try to directly host that and post it here in a bit
