Re: Creating Multi Platorm Systems

For the record I ended up going with this:

All spring returned buttons exactly what I was looking for.

Re: Arduino Based SNES emulator?

Yes but the convenience is the arduino is already build and has libraries for TV video and out output. So its a nice head start. I never said the microprocessor was the best for this goal. Just a cheap and convienent alternative

Arduino Based SNES emulator?

Is this possible? To run real SNES hardware (controllers and cartridges) on an entirely Arduino based platform? I have been thinking a lot about this recently and am interested in tackling the project. Though the hardware side IS my forte... I am not a programmer by trade so I will likely need some ...

Re: SNES No Sound Output

So I bought a second SNES on craigslist. And this one has the second revision motherboard with the on-board sound module, cool. It was working fine, I tested it before I opened her up (with the Multi-Out Cable). But now THIS one has no Audio too. AUGH!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!! The video works fine, the ...

SNES No Sound Output

I am completing a project and am having an issue with my SNES...

I am using the long original motherboard with the attached sound module and I made 2 dumb mistakes. I wired up one side of the cartridge slot backwards compared to the other and the insulation on my ribbon cable nearly melted before I ...

SNES Power Question

Before I screw something up I wanted to ask the community to double check my work. I am currently re purposing an SNES and am having problem finding a detailed mother board schematic. There is controller and A/V pin out information all over the web but very little on the proper point to connect +5V ...

Interfacing Multiple Consoles w/ a single video/audio output

I am currently going down a project to make a multi system gaming platorm out of an old (and big) Dell PC Tower. As a baseline I will be adding a NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genasis, and Atari 7800. Possibly a sega Master System as well, but likely not at this point

My question entails the video and audio ...

Re: Buttons in Xbox 360 gamertag

Okay see well you have a different spin on it, that stuff is just plain funny not taking up the whole screen and annoying.

I myself have a modded 120GB hard drive (replaced my 20GB myself for 1/3 the price) but other than that... dosent Microsoft ever check for this stuff and ban people ...

Buttons in Xbox 360 gamertag

Anyone seen the gamertags that have the xbox 360 button images in their gamertags while playing Modern Warefare 2 recently, I saw it awhile back but I thought it was patched....

It thoroughly pisses me off because it takes up the whole damn screen most of the time, and i am curious as to how it is ...

Re: Directing Headphone Signal

A Schottky diode is exactly what I have been looking at over the past few days. And I did a simple test seperate from this system and the 5.1V zeners will pass an audio signal through, very muffled though

I tried that... no dice. I am going to try and order a 2V diode from digikey

Re: Directing Headphone Signal

As an update... I tried a 5.1V Zener Diode tonight, and it just blocks the whole signal. I think I need a smaller voltage diode. I'll likely have to order something off digikey.

Anyone have a better idea?

Re: Directing Headphone Signal

Hey thanks for the repsonse, your sketch and understanding is pretty darn close. I am adding the degree of complexity that when your on the "private loop" you can still here the broadcast line. If I can find the right diode I can set this up where the private loop wont backfeed down the broadcast ...

Directing Headphone Signal

Does anyone know of a diode that would restrict a 1/8" Stereo singal coming out of a PC per say to act like a one way valve. I have a project that requires this, I tried a 12V Zener Diode yesterday from Radioshack but it dosent seem to work.
