Very fun to stumble onto some Ond content!
Sure I'm late to this, but work is in the way of everything right now.

The elements to make things more than just utilitarian are the details I love the most.
Elegant embellishments on the form follows function paradigm are always so cool.

I at least will look forward to seeing some speaker unit production!

hey bobby, nice to see you are still at some projects and posting here  .  I have multiple projects all going at once right now, I thought since one of them is finished I'll update.

I've finished both Kodi and Volumio units.  Kodi for all things video and Volumio for all digital audio. They turned out alright I think. Some minor aesthetic changes along the way:

The Kodi box with improved (IMO) front panel. 

The Volumio box with it's own green theme.

The back panel showing connections.

side by side...

Just simple lighting on the Volumio unit.

Not that they will ever be stacked like this, but hey, just to see what they look like I plugged some fancy headphones into the DAC headphone jack.

Summary:  3D printing came in very useful for this project. It allowed me to make small functional and aesthetic changes and re-print parts as needed. At some point I may update the Raspberry Pi 4 in the Volumio box to a Pi 5, the Kodi box already has a Pi 5 in it. The main reason is that the Pi 5 has better on/off controls available than the Pi 4.  I may tweak LED lighting slightly in the Kodi unit to be dimmer and more even, but that can wait while I focus on other projects.

Next up loud speaker building! I'm building three pairs of different speaker designs simultaneously. 

Ok great , I'll have a play around later

What reeone said.

I think that CRT_emulator in practice doesn't go below 240p, even if your video mode is technically less, so you may as well use 448x240p. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Add the video mode to the list in "user_modes - super.ini", then regenerate/install. The format is pretty obvious.

I think wearing a pair of headphones is your only option

The cord won't be able to reach me and I do not have any wireless headphones

you must install 448x224 with vmmaker,and thats my fbn setting ini,run great at 240p
also a 2560x224 setting if you cant install 448x224,also run great

TURN GAME UP LOUDER

Joking aside, what do you have it mounted to?   Is <thing you have it mount too> vibrating / reverberating / "acting as a speaker" causing it to be louder than it should be?  I used to have a Logitech G27 and it wasn't loud, I just didn't like the gear driven force feedback and how easy it was to overpower. (ratcheting)

Turning the game up louder is not possible for me bc I live with my sister, brother in law, 2 of my nieces and one of my nephews and if I do, they will get mad and tell me to turn the game down.

(I'm autistic and live with my sister, who is my guardian as well)
