Exactly like me for my NES portable! :D Forgot to mention : these speakers and amplifiers are really inexpensive too in lots.

I would suggest using a PAM8403 amplifier with two 8ohm speakers, like GameBoy family speakers or even DS Lite or 3DS speakers. They are tiny, slim, and they sound great. The amplifier can also get pretty loud and is tiny too.

OK... At this point, I don't really know what to do. Maybe cutting the wires shorter, or replace the AC Adapter with another one. :|

For power, I would suggest you to use 18awg (computer power supply) wire or thicker. Because at some point the thinner the wire; the higher the resistance.

You can also clean dirty contacts with acetone and Q-Tips if you have some. Be careful with acetone though. Especially with plastic. It's a bit corrosive. So wear safety googles ans read the precautions on the sticker before using this. Don't forget to wash your hands when you are done. I use it...

I think I found a deal here!

Thank you! Basically, what I have to do is to accommodate parts of the housing of my electronics by cutting, sanding and epoxying them whenever possible. Do you have anything to add for custom circuits on prefboards like a DIY protection circuit or memory card for example?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any techniques to share for housing components in a case that is originally not made for your perticular components, especially with Frankencasing, like buttons, joysticks, switches, screen, breadboards... It's not just a matter of hot glue. -How do make...

Like Luke said, I don't think cutting a Hori controller is worth it. In your case, what matters is getting a controller that supports analog sticks, such as a Superpad or a Yobo controller.

I am talking about the third party one in post 33.

What third party controller did you use for that perticular build? I may pick one up.

If you can't find any 50K joystick, you can buy a TTX Tech OG Controller. These new revisions of N64 controllers usually come with a joystick like the USB controller in my last post instead of two basic ones. You'll only need to search for some joystick caps that would fit...

I have to admit that I wonder how these are made. :?:

The joystick I used looks like the one on this controller. Maybe some kind of non-standard one. Something I may suggest is to make sure that you don't touch the contacts on your joystick with your fingers. I had a hard time figuring this out until I realized that after a couple of...

Now that you mention it... :\
