Behold the latest AbCard

[Necromancer]

I would love to bust out some sweet labels, but stickers will wear out over time. :-/

Only if abused.  My Arcade Card Duo is almost able to vote and its sticker looks fine.

[Arkhan]

Yeah.

heck, even NES cart labels survived.

So, maybe that will work just fine.

Have to make sure it's some damn fine adhesive.   None of that hippy shit.

[MottZilla]

Good adhesive and a good finish over whatever artwork you put onto it. Labels in "reproduction" carts can hold up well if you put some kind of laminate or other finish on top of your label artwork.

[BlackandBlue]

Need more tissues....

[Black Tiger]

Maybe have labels printed as the type of durable sticker that people put on stuff like snowboards, which are stuper sticky and made to withstand the elements?

[TheClash603]

That looks awesome.  Great work over there, definitely the most exciting homebrew project on any system right now.

Ironic that is the same lotion i use, makes your penis taste fine for the ladies.

It is a little hard to tell from the pictures, but are you sanding/rounding the area of the card below the contacts?
If you leave it square, it's going to wear the slot.

Tail, Considering the guy can make a Hucard to begin with, i'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.

Not exactly sure where you are talking about, but...

The current version is for testing. So, no, not much is sanded that doesn't have to be.

Final production versions will have rounded corners. And, if I understand correctly....
In a side-view profile, the edge where the contacts are will be beveled at ~45 degree angle.
These two steps are necessary for the card to seat correctly.

Depending on how long it takes to do it, we may go ahead and knock off all the square edges around the entire board.

I ruined a few sockets since I didn't do this on my early Lynx test cards, which is why I asked.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering about. Thanks.

[Arkhan]

Yeah.  A handful of people asked the same thing about stressing the connector out at the CCAG, and I told them the same thing.


At least people are concerned about the safety of their consoles. 

[T2KFreeker]

Yeah man, late to the party again, but this is awesome. Loving the stuff you are coming up with Ark. I can't wait for these to be mass produced so we can all put candles around them and OBEY!!!!

[SuperPlay]

very nice work :@)

Keep in mind, it's not just me doing this card stuff.   The credit belongs to OldMan, and his MacGyver shenanigans that resulted in this stuff.
