Neo Geo USB Arcade Stick


Substantial mechanical and electrical design work is complete.
Completed
  • 470 × 280 × 90 mm wooden enclosure with brushed-metal 8-button deck.
  • Hinged quick-access control deck with positive stay and reusable hardware.
  • Removable bottom, universal adjustable lever adapter, harness lanes, USB strain relief, and removable electronics tray.
  • 134 active mechanical model bodies with successful internal/external renders.
  • RP2040 controller schematic with USB-C, ESD/VBUS protection, flash, clock, 3.3 V regulation, boot/reset controls, test access, and modular JST harness connectors.
  • 54 electronic components and 43 nets.
  • Controller PCB constrained to the removable 120 × 55 mm board envelope.
  • Documentation:
  • Safe BOM and STPZ exports were produced.
Still open
  • The last confirmed routing result had 9 airwires, mainly around the USB-C differential escape. A final USB-C breakout recovery pass was started, but I could not retrieve its completed report.
  • Gerbers and pick-and-place files remain withheld until a live check confirms zero airwires and no blocking DRC faults.
  • Exact Sanwa JLF/JLX and Seimitsu cross-compatibility remains provisional because complete manufacturer mounting drawings were unavailable.
  • Button-nut clearance, deck motion, structural strength, cable pull resistance, and swap time require a physical prototype.
  • PC and supported Switch-class operation targets GP2040-CE. Native PS5 and Xbox One authentication still requires licensed hardware or an external compatible adapter.
Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
