@@PNPRetro Hello friend, congratulations on the project! In the files available at the link, there is a missing part. The gray part, as shown on the right side in the video (4:30), is not among the files.

[@PNPRetro]

My apologies. I have added the missing file.

[@3dmedicvince449]

Pretty cool video. I like how you just whip up a 3D printed enhancements for your projects.

[@PNPRetro]

Glad you liked it! Definitely bring able to customize things is one of my favorite perks of 3D printing

[@pc-sound-legacy]

Neat device for some retro fun! Great they even add ymf262 for adlib compatibility.

[@PNPRetro]

I do appreciate legacy pc sound.

[@Mitch3D]

I would have loved to have one of these in the early 2000s. Great video! I’m glad my suggestion helped. Also nice keyboard.

[@MrDicafr]

That Raptor game looks... Oddly familiar. This tells me that I've played that game way back in my humble gaming beginnings on a 486. Thanks for digging that game out, it's bringing me way back!

[@raccoon681]

picked one up what it really needs is a 3d printed mount for securing the 2 breakout boards going to try to get a sound blaster card working

[@rebeccaevans9312]

I really like the stand you made for it!

[@RetroTechChris]

Very cool, I just bought one of these. Love the 3D print you did there!

[@PNPRetro]

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know if your experience is different than mine. So far, I'm the only one I've seen with charging issues.

[@RetroTechChris]

@@PNPRetro will do! In watching Rasteri's video, I think he hooked it up to a bench power supply of some sort! Looks like he has the battery unplugged and a capacitor between power leads. Maybe a setup like that will help with "desktop" mode for these!

[@PNPRetro]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to give his video a watch.

[@Spacegamejunkie]

I was able to order one. Can't wait to get it and put Star Fleet II and F-19 on there.

[@PNPRetro]

Sounds like you've got some fun planned!

[@Spacegamejunkie]

@@PNPRetro Yeah I am super excited!

[@CodeProfessor]

I’ll have to order some more colours of pla to print that hand stand!

[@Breakfast_and_Bullets]

I'm quite surprised you've never played Raptor. Fantastic shoot-em-up game. The creator is actually working on a modern remake with better graphics that stays true to the original!

[@PNPRetro]

I look forward to that! I like games that update graphics but keep the core the same.

[@kayleenamanda]

But did you film this localized entirely within your kitchen? Love the nostalgia threaded through this one ❤

[@PNPRetro]

Someone reads the descriptions! 🤣

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

I can recommend Heretic for DOS.

[@datagod]

WOW!!!!!!

[@MotownBatman]

HUZZAH! Found It, They are heavily discounted today as of 4/14 $100us off... This is Sweet, I wasn't a Ps/2 person, but that's about as PC as it gets lol

[@mattmyers9351]

Where did you get the ribbon cable? What type do I need to look for?

[@PNPRetro]

It came with the cable and break out board. Did you buy one and it was missing it?

[@mattmyers9351]

@@PNPRetro yes.

[@PNPRetro]

I would definitely contact the seller and let them know. The missing part let's you connect a keyboard, mouse, and an external monitor to the Hand386.

[@mattmyers9351]

@@PNPRetro I will, thanks.

[@mattmyers9351]

I found the ribbon cable, it was lying on the floor of my bedroom. I guess I just blanked on it having one with the adapter, I don't know how, but I did.

[@mattmyers9351]

How did you move the cursor in windows without a mouse?

[@PNPRetro]

I had a mouse connected.

[@mattmyers9351]

@@PNPRetro what kind did you use?

[@PNPRetro]

It's a beige Microsoft ps2 mouse connected to the little breakout board the hand386 came with

[@mattmyers9351]

@TimeTrekTech ok thanks!

[@Neffercara]

It says that you can't use it while charging, is that right?

[@PNPRetro]

I haven't seen that myself. I've used it while it was plugged in. It doesn't charge as fast as it uses power, but it does last longer plugged in

[@turbinegraphics16]

I'd get it if it had a better keyboard but maybe it can be modded.

[@PNPRetro]

Should be possible. The PS2 port is exposed via the header pins, so pretty easy to get to!

[@matsv201]

Is it only me or does this devies look a lot like a SonyEricsson M600 phone

[@PNPRetro]

Yeah, I can see that
