    Hey everyone! One thing I failed to mention in the video was that the “modular” Neptune build that I did was largely developed by PCBAssembly99. He pioneered the use of a 3BP in conjunction with the Neptune mod and also the unique method of flipping over the 32X board while using the longer ribbon cables so that it can be used with the 90 degree cartridge connector. He also made a bill of material that you can reference which has all the items I used in my tutorial for the Neptune build, which is linked here: www.mediafire.com/file/tupgzrchjqbmw0l/BOM.zip/file
    He also posted a build guide on GBATEMP linked here: gbatemp.net/blogs/blog/sega-neptune-building-a-sega-neptune.4931/details
    Again, a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this project!

      @@Dan-TechAndMusic This is actually what I was thinking. Repurposing the Saturn's cartridge slot (which was rumored to initially be a backwards compatibility Genesis/Mega Drive slot, no idea if that was ever proven legit or false) would be brilliant.

    Great build. One small tip......When applying waterslide decals, always apply to a gloss surface, then clear coat back to matte. You will avoid that weird silvering look from the decal film AND the clear coat will protect the decals from being scratched off. Or use rub transfers.

    So glad to see this mod getting more attention. It’s not exactly cheap, but its definitely really impressive.

And or use this design to create an FPGA clone console like the Mega SG but with 32X support.

      With a large enough community to buy the mod shells, injection can become viable, but you do need quite a lot of people to fork out the tooling (think quite a few thousands of dollars in molds).
      I imagine silicone mold vacuum injection might be a good middle ground (or rather, for low volume, the perfect solution).

    Amazing build as always! One tip for tapping bosses "screw posts" is to take a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and very carefully cut a small slot in the screw threads. This creates a way for the plastic shavings to not jam up inside the boss which can crack it. Given that the shell is SLA resin you have to be even more careful when doing this as I have exploded many SLA bosses and had to epoxy the ever loving hell out of them and re-tap them.

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can relate with how annoying tapping SLA prints can be... I've used an actual tap 1st time I did it, and did a few test pieces before to check the hole clearance.
      Even with a tap (in fact what you did with slotting a screw, just like those PC fan screws that do exactly that), when the hole was just 0.1mm too small I cracked the damn test part, and increasing that 0.1mm made it a bit lose...
      I wonder what kind of techniques would be effective to add threaded inserts to resin prints, maybe just epoxy gluing them and that's it?

  • @adamsfusion

    20:46 Because "Triad Power Supply" is incredibly vague and unhelpful: A 9V / 1.3A power brick, center positive. Don't go below this amperage, but any amperage higher is safe.
    Sega's default brick is 10V at 0.85A (8.5W), and while the voltages aren't exact, you need those additional 3.5W to keep the 32X happy. You'll need to adapt the 5.5mm/1.2mm barrel plug to a EIAJ-03 4.75mm/1.7mm barrel plug used on the Model 2.
    And be careful not to mix it up with the Sega CD power supply, as it has a negative center polarity and will make either part very unhappy.

      This could have been a console to take on the Super Nintendo for a while longer. What Sega could have done is ensure that the Neptune's software was compatible with the Saturn.
      When the Saturn eventually was released, you also released a compatible CD player for the Neptune bringing both in line (any extra grunt the new Saturn came with was enclosed in the CD attachment).
      Maybe it happened in a parallel universe.

    If Sega would release this in 2023 I would instantly buy it. 😍 Love this console and big thanks to the developers of this.

    Awesome tutorial! If only Sega had released this instead of the separate 32X & focused on this only (due to backward compatibility being readily available on it) instead of dividing their forces between it & the Saturn, they could've thrived a few more years & maybe would've been in a much better position with 3rd party developers going into the Dreamcast. I was jacked for the Neptune & when it didn't come to be, I focused on the SNES & eventually the N64 until I got the Dreamcast in late 2000. I was hoping Sega would do a Neptune Mini to make up for not releasing it then & have 20-25 Genesis games, 10-15 32X games & a handful of Sega CD games built in, with the ability to add more ROMs to it thru download. Would be cool & I'll bet hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people would be willing to shell out plenty of $ for it

    This is cool! I bet it would look even better with actual nice paint job! That thing is screaming for some 2k satin clear at the very least.

    Great video! I would LOVE to see something on mobile modifications! My dream has always been to build a great-looking mobile Dreamcast with plugins to allow for a second controller and output to a TV (basically, it can connect to TV and you can play with friends). I saw a few Dreamcast builds that had beautiful screens, wonderful looking ergonomics to the progenitor controllers and even usable VMU insert. That was years ago, but it showed it could be done. What I have NEVER seen done was the external plugin ability for a TV connection. You pull this off, count on my monthly subscription for life. The Dreamcast community is still very much alive (and heartbroken when the Dreamcast 2 was vaguely announced). Stay amazing!

  • @Nobe_Oddy

    I am BLOWN AWAY!!!!!! It is GORGEOUS!!!! And WELL WORTH the $320 price tag for the shell alone!!!! (okay, it's REALLY EXPENSIVE just for a plastic shell, but that is THE BEST 3D Print quality I have EVER seen!!!! So paying that price is a matter of passion and dedication to the project) It looks EXACTLY how I have always imagined it to be.
    The soldiering work is a bit advanced, but not as hard as some of the projects you've shown here before.....
    - EXCELLENT JOB TITO, DVIZIX, and EVERYONE ELSE responsible for making the WORK OF ART POSSIBLE!!!! Thank you Tito for sharing the build too!! YOU ROCK!!!!

    When you wire the rgb wires to the 3BP, it shows you removed R48 (as it says to do in zaxour's guide) but when you wire sync, it is back in place. 11:38 So do you need R48 in this use case?

    Awesome video.
    Building a SEGA Neptune is kind of like a long lost holy grail of consoles.
    The World never got to see the finalised console in action, but thanks to the stellar modding community this is now a reality.
    Good stuff.
    Cheers.

    IIRC, there was also supposed to be the "Pluto", which was a Sega Saturn that could play Genesis titles.

    It’s the fact that the shell was concave that makes it look so good and dude pulled it off perfectly.

    Quite an incredible project, to bring to existence something that never hit the market, and not even having in hand the museum prototypes to base the shell on, is sure a work of passion.
    About injection molding the shells: the models themselves are there already, but the cost of the tooling is astronomic. You'll want to gather at least 1000 buyers to fork out the tooling for it to be worth it, since it can go into several thousands of dollars, specially at the size of the device. I work with that kinda stuff so I don't get shocked anymore when I see a small product tooling cost go upwards of 40 thousand dollars (rather, I'm glad it's that CHEAP. It can get insane with big parts).
    One option for reducing the tooling cost for lower production batches/final prototypes is silicone molds with vacuum injection, you don't get near as many parts of the same molds, but the cost is far lower (albeit I haven't used this service yet to know the difference in costs). Still, you'll be forking quite a bit of cash so it takes a community to join up and pre-purchase it.

    The thing using only one power brick is by far the best feature. I'd do this mod if it came as a kit (and if my 32x weren't mysteriously dead)

  • @DragunBreath

    One thing to consider: Before assembly of the unit, apply the water slide decals first (making sure there are no bubbles), then go over the entire thing with 2-part clear gloss automotive urethane to blend the water slides into the finish, making them appear to have been silkscreened. After fully curing, go over it once more with a light, even coat of matte clearcoat. It will look even more like factory, and will be very well protected to boot.
    Of course, Ideally, it would be even better to have the logos painted during the mfg process :) Still an AWESOME build and product, and I would have absolutely loved to have one of these back in the day paired up with model 2 sega CD I had. Hell, I'd still love to have one. Now someone just needs to do the same for the Pluto!

  • @wasd____
    @wasd____ ปีที่แล้ว

    Was hoping this would be how to build a new Neptune from off-the-shelf parts. If I already have a Genesis and a 32X, I already functionally have a Neptune and I'm ready to play games on it without the risks of completely disassembling them and trying to do a Frankenstein job on consoles that already work just fine.

    I have heard about the Sega Neptune when I first heard about it in the late 2000s early 2010s upon looking at cancelled video game consoles back in the day. And now seeing you make one, incredible, never thought we would see one nearly 28/30 years later after it's cancellation and such.

  • @RobertNES816
    @RobertNES816 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would be so cool if Sega still had the prototype. Would be awesome to see how Sega had the PCB. I bet they had new custom chips. The 32x and Genesis were probably on one or two chips. The whole thing was probably very integrated. I have to wonder how much Sega invested in the Neptune just to trash it.
