What did you use to cut the hole on top? I want to do the same thing with a nice clean cut.

I measured out the space and outlined it for the usb. I think it was 6mm by 14mm if i remember correctly. Then drilled 2 6mm holes and then used an exacto knife and file to make it rectangular. Its not perfect, but from a distance, it doesnt look too bad.

 

this is the cable I used:

I had to shave down the rubber on the female end so it was flush with the metal part and remove the slotted strain relief part of the connectors, but it fit in there without having to cut/resolder the cables. Shipping was pretty slow though so you may want to get it from another seller if you want that cable.

Yeah, the easiest way is to get a worthless game (don't tell me there aren't any -- this is the Jaguar we're talking about :P), and recycle the shell.

 

If you really don't want to "destroy" a game, B&C do sell empty shells.

Thanks

Yeah, i already looked after worthless games. But even the cheapest, including shipping costs, is about 20$.

I'm not that miserly, but i think it's too much just to rip of the board and keep the shell :)

I'll check for B&C, thnak you !

Mickcris -that is a very nice case for your Skunk - I like that a lot. Especially the USB-A port on top! and label is very nice!
