take a gander at what you plan on doing with the connector. the one from the gen has 2 pretty mounting holes....

the ones from the games don't (or at least shouldn't)

Funny. I was under the impression that both NES1 & NES2 required 9VAC @ 1.3amps.

But then again, I may be wrong......

not if you picked one up last month for 5 bux

/me hasn't read ben's book.

I am building the portable NES by hand in bens book I put it all together last night.

Yeah. You pay 3.71 for /ONE/ connector.

Ya'll need to learn the ways of the Surplus Side.

blasphemy.

Thank you.

As for a more "positive" suggestion.... Invest in precision files, drill bits, pcb stand offs, zip ties, and shrink tubing. They'll make your life easier, and your product cleaner.

Yeah, if you can locate a blockbuster "Gamerush" (www.gamerush.com), you can grab a DC for $9.99, assuming someone traded one in. This includes all cables and at least one controller.

Of course he's right. He has almost 700 posts.

In which case, I'll edit my original post a bit to appease the "senior membersâ€

Things might go better in both operation and troubleshooting if you would take the time to properly organize and mount your components.

Never /ever/ touch a glue gun or a Dremel tool again. They are sloppy tools, and yield sloppy results.

This would be a good time to start working towards a spare parts bin.

I suggest dumpster diving.
