Is that black paint? Or did you fry it so bad it charred the case? Either way, srry for your losses

**Update** Srry for the double post, but upon arrival, I started working on moving my cart slot, the i ran into a problem, the right angle headers i ordered had 1 side shorter than the other. Now it wont plug all the way into the SCSI cable, or if i flip it, wont plug all the way into the mobo. This ...

I havent dont it myself, but i've read that a lot of pople here use hot glue, as mentioned above, or use plastic spacers glued with superglue and then place a normal screw into the spacer.

Nah, what you do is take a ribbon cable, anything with 50 or more pins, and connect the female end to the bottom of the cart slot controller(the thing the cartridge plugs into on the motherboard) then you take the dual headers, and plug them into the motherboard where the cartridge controller went ...

You will see them about halfway down. It took me about a week to get them when i ordered them. I got 10 in case i broke some of them, or maybe i would use them later. Hope it helps

After waiting about a week on the mail(and playing guild wars), my headers arrived today, so now I can go about re-wiring the cart slot.

Yeah by RCA I meancomposite, the red yellow and white coming out of the N64, I usually just call em RCA Jacks for some reason

So I'm using a portable DVD player screen, will I ever notice a huge difference between the 2, or should I just stick with the RCA? I'm happy with the way RCA looks, but will it be worth it to try and RGB mod this thing is pretty much what I am asking.

OK, i've been reading the forums for a little while now, and I'm working on a Port-a-64, but i have a question. What is the big deal with RGB? The screen I am using, is a portable DVD player screen with build in RCA jacks, so i can connect it directly to the default N64 Video/Audio out.

Personally ...

Whats to say that i couldn't take a GBA, gut it, give it a larger screen, longer battery life, and use the Flash linker cards to put a lot of games on one cart?
Would be kind of redundant to make a portable portable, but maybe the bigger screen, and longer battery life, plug more games would be ...

Ok, im going to need some help here. I'm trying to decide what case idea to go with, I am at a crucial part of my design right now. Keep in mind, not drawn to scale, took me about 1 minute in paint to do these both, but you will get the idea....

have you tried checking where the video out is connected. See if its loose. Or if the case is already apart, look at where it connects, maybe its dirty. Apart from that, i dont know what it could be. Could be fried. $5 is a good deal, but its not too much of a setback if its fried. Good luck with it.

yeah, i pulled my inductor from a pc power supply, and its working perfectly, im pulling around 3.31v after making mine yesterday.

i know it sounds simple but do you have the input going to the input on the TI dc converter?

technically, you caould make it solder free, but only the cartridge part, you would still have to solder the power connectors and such, unless you could figure out a way around that.
