What do people recommend for cooling the n64? I've seen people use copper plates over the chips along with a fan, but can't I just use the heatsinks they came with? I planned to just use the thick aluminum heatsinks provided along with a small 30mm fan run off of the 7805. Is this set up good...

This feeling has never felt so good.. I finally got it to work :000 The issue was on the cart slot itself. Under the pins are little bridges where the pins are attached to. Well, two of those bridges were soldered together and apparently causing the short. Well anyway, thanks for all the...

Yeah, i've seen those videos before and are pretty helpful. But I just got done trimming and rewiring the wires to 3.5 inches, and well, it doesn't work still :/ I think the board is fried or something, though idk how that could've even happened. EDIT: Well I didn't see your post about...

I dont see how it being finicky would relate to it not being to relocate entirely. Are you saying that the board might not be able to handle 5.75 inches? If so then I'll cut them as short as possible.

64DD slot is not attached anymore and the pins were broken off. I don't understand why 5.75 is too long, what is a good length? I mean I've seen people do it over 6 inches..

Ok this doesn't make sense. I cut brand new wires, all 5.75 inches long, I fluxed every single one so they are going no where, and it is neat af. I can almost guarantee you there are no shorts. Wtf is the problem? Is the board fried? The light turns on so.. check attached images for the wiring.

So if I do this (plus pin 45) I'll be able to play every game? I've seen that guide before and I always felt that there would be some sort of limit with it. And one more thing that wasn't yet answered: do the length of the wires all have to be the same? Mine vary a little.

The cart slot joints are all separated, none touching each other. And about redoing the whole thing, I've already been on top of that. I cut 48 new wires and will flatten them straight overnight, rather than letting them curl. This way it will be far more neat and not tangled. One of the main...

You mean the small holes in the middle where the pins originally went through? I had no idea they weren't allowed to be touched since the pins were originally in their place. Well either way, I fixed the wires touching those holes and it still didn't work :/

Well I ran a flat head between each joint to make sure none were touching each other and I dont believe any were. Also, not only am I bad at soldering but I also added tons of it because the wires kept slipping or breaking off. I reused the same wires for the second relocation so they're getting...

Well this was my second attempt at relocating the cartridge slot, and both seemed to fail despite my ultra precison on the second attempt. I'm using 28 awg wire. This time when I boot up the game, the red light flashes and I hear a ticking noise. This can be prevented by pulling on the...

That's interesting. Well on the topic of screens, I have a couple 3.5 inch screens built for the raspberry pi that I've also been wondering if works for composite video or not (for things like n64 or gamecube). These things...

Has anyone ever tried using a 3DS screen for other purposes besides the 3DS? I'm curious about it's compatibility with other consoles. Could it display composite video for things like the n64 or gamecube, etc? I'm only asking because I realized it could play youtube videos and display clear...

That's alright, I won't put you through the trouble of that haha. I just wanted to see if the method for it was still the same or not and if we still required boards. But I appreciate the offer!

Well I want to try and hook up a 3DS slider to my superpad, but I can't find much info on doing that. I've seen the converter boards that were made, but that was like three years ago so I haven't found a way to get a hold of one (plus I'm not sure if the board only works for gamecube controllers...

I didn't even see that haha. I just browsed through ebay quick to basically show the cable I was talking about. If I was actually going to buy one though, it would be this one with the adjustable brightness: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400771955089 But it's from china :/

I figured that was the case, but I'd have to do a little research to find out where the little wire goes that attaches to one of the capacitors. I know it's definitely worth it to pay 6$ but I wanted to see if I could do it for 0$ and without having to wait for parts from China.

I'm thinking about doing the original gameboy advance backlight mod where you take the screen from the SP and use a ribbon cable converter to connect it. I'm sure most of you know the mod I'm referring to. Anyway, is there any way I can connect the SP screen WITHOUT using the converters they...

I have two that are fairly close to BC547's specs: 2N3904 / C945 / BC547 Collector − Emitter Voltage: 40 / 50 / 45 Collector − Base Voltage: 60 / 60 / 50 Emitter − Base Voltage: 6 / 5.0 /...

Thank you. I was in fact aware that I had to use npn transistors for the circuit, but I was uncertain if a specific model mattered.. Does it matter at all? I have a few different kinds so.. Also one more more noob question: I would use the potentiometer to adjust which voltage I want the led to...
