Brian,

Going with your idea, why not have the NES slot on the bottom with the cartridge going upwards along the backside of the unit, then on the top of the unit have the SNES cart going down along the backside of the unit. You wouldn't be able to have both games in at the same time, but I think it ...

Every time I see these units I always wonder why they use two separate cart slots. Are the pin configurations really that different? From the pictures I see it looks like it's basically the same slot with different pins removed. It makes you wonder why they can't both use the same slot with a built ...

What kind of batteries are you using and do they fit inside the ZN40 case? I'm trying to decide what power source I should use.

Thanks,

Steve

YES!!!!! I had to turn it on, Remove the cartridge and the jumper pak while it was still on and then shut it off, plug everythign back in and Viola it works!

I dont' even get any sound.

I tired turning it off with and without a game and the same result occurs. So I guess it must be fried. I even went so far as to try wiring up an SVHS connection to see if I had any more progress and it does the exact same thing so I guess she is toast.

A slight tint? Nope. I got the typical blue screen that all tv's give you with no video input. When the power is shut off the screen rolls for a second and then is blue again.

We got all the power, and various spots on the board have the proper voltages as well. There's just no signal being sent out to the TV. but when you shut off the power the screen rolls for a second and the sound clicks.

Pin 10 on the A/V connector has 5V working plain as day. So that's where I'm a bit boggled. When I check the L/R and Video pins there is a signal there that varies in voltage but nothing is on screen.

*shrug*

I checked as much of the 5V line that I was able to check, but I'm thinking maybe one of my capacitors is dead and that's where my hold up is.

Jumper pak in and out it's the same thing result.

It's bizarre. As for shorts, I'm not too sure how I woudl check that out.

Nope. nothing at all. I just took it out of the case. LOL It was workign perfect the other day and nothign has happened to it since. just now it's blank... *shrug*

My N64 has no audio/video output from the original cables... I tired wiring in the video straight to the output pins but still get no signal at all but when I disconnect the power I get a flicker. Is it dead? (

Your foot? LOL I burnt my lip as I bit the end of the iron to hold it while I jimmied things with my hands.

THAT was an experience. EEsh. :oD

Yeah I was putting it in series, but just to the main power line, not to the individual voltages. I got a 3.3 DC-DC convertor and I power the whole thing off of 7.2V
