No, by default it will continue to display in the middle of the screen with 1080p output (using the 60/30Hz jumper to drive the refresh rate). My changes just add the ability to bring up an on screen menu to either shift where it displays (left or right) in the 1080p output, or also allows you...

Sure. You don't need the screen adjustment changes, but you can install my fork and get the USB improvements by following the instructions in the "About this Fork" section of the readme here: https://github.com/wottle/LisaFPGA#about-this-fork-lisa-mini Side advantage: if you haven't already...

Got the switches in today and the button components work really well. The buttons barely stick out, so it is very subtle, but easily findable by touch. Here's the new front plate. Also, I've spent some time trying to address one of my pet peeves about the LisaFPGA - it's support (or lack...

@KnobsNSwitches , I'd also be willing to print one and ship it to you at cost, assuming you aren't using this to justify said purchase of a new 3d printer! :) I got back from my trip and I'm trying to get this project across the finish line. I re-worked it to move the ESFloppy LCD to the front...

It is, but you’ll need to join the parts after the fact. My first test prints were on my BambuLab A1. I simply sliced it at a point where it would be a clean cut, printed some blocks I could use as glue supports, two on the back and one on the top and bottom. It’s not perfect and you’ll see the...

Yeah, there are going to be some compromises for adding support for the lighted power power key to the LisaFPGA version. The back is no longer symmetrical, which bothers me, but is probably acceptable. Also. the 12v power jack cannot stay where it is because that's where the enclosure for...

Honestly, the emulator performance on the Pi 4 is pretty disappointing. I may focus some time trying to see if I can get the LisaEm and Previous emulators to perform better. I was hoping the Pi 3 would be sufficient, but the performance pretty unbearable. It's passable on the Pi 4, and I have...

I tried to make it somewhat simple, but it will involve some soldering to complete. The assembly instructions now include images of the various steps. The software is mostly automated with a provisioning script, but I don't want to get sued, so I didn't include ROMs and drive images with any...

Yeah, spent some time tonight getting all the documentation squared away for the software side (setting up the Pi, installing my launcher and all the emulators) and the hardware side (the 3d printing and the assembly and wiring of everything). It's live now, although it sounds like you...

I might have to switch my Apple II emulator over to this on my Lisa Mini emulation machine. If it supports full screen mode at 1024x768, I’ll add it in.

Ha. Yeah I used it as justification to get a second, larger 3d printer to be able to print without splitting! It is nice having a 350mm print bed printer.

I wrapped up my work on the Raspberry Pi version. It turned out very nice, and I devised a simple way to add a lighted power button to the front that I really like. It's just a clear keyboard switch with an LED attached, and a 3d printed button that allows the light to shine through...

I'd also add that you definitely should remove that battery. If it hasn't leaked yet, it might be good and dried out, but why take a chance to keep system time and your mouse speed settings! Every SE/30 I've worked on has had cap leakage under the caps. Most of them also had traces damaged...

I agree. I generally value my own labor at zero because it’s a hobby I enjoy. I buy caps in bulk to keep costs down. The $1000 for a nicely restored Q700 is not insane. I’ve generally sold within the community, trying to sell as close to cost as possible ( recapped analog and logic board...

For a more extreme example, here's one of Mr Goldman's sales: a Quadra 840AV for over $3k... Having to pay $700 multiple times to make people think that's a reasonable price would wipe out the profits from actually finally selling one for close to that.
