SNES Portable Attemptblog thingy.

Hi guys! Looooooooong time listener, first time caller.

Well after about two years of checking on and off ben's site/the forum/everyone else's sites, I've finally mustered up the initiative to dive right in and make my own portable. My main setback has always been money issues/school, but since that's all over I got the time and funds needed to support the project, not to mention the cajones as well.

This past week I've spent a lot of my time searching all over the interwebs for deals on the needed parts (now if I can just win those damn ebay auctions), coming up with ideas for the casing, and trying to figure out what else is needed.

So far I've got no questions, but I would like to thank all those who might come to my aid when it's needed.

THNXXX!

Welcome aboard, get ready for a fun(and possibly frustrating) and satisfying project. I know you are a new guy and everything, so I'm going to give these 2 very important tips. Pick up Ben's book as it covers a large part of the basics and helps explain a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo. Next is before posting any questions of any kind, use the search function on this site, because chances are it has been asked(and answered) several times before.

Otherwise any problems you have, I'm sure many experienced people here(my self included) will help you as best we can.

Good luck and have fun.

Ok so my Psone screen came in today. To bad it didn't come with an wall adapter, but I figured I could use my PsTwo's AC adapter. Harshboy gave me the heads up to try it, but I'll see about that this weekend at my buddy's house.

Anyways, I spent a good time making myself a diagram to follow for this project. I pretty much ripped off one made by Neildo_64, this one being for a SNES instead of a N64.

Looks good yes?

Now to find myself a mini SNES and a 7805. ZOIDBERG AWAY!

Looks good, Zoidberg.

Are you sure that outputs 7.5v?

looks good but doesn't SNES have a 7805 onboard?

I redid the diagram to include power from the wall, I included a DPDT switch to choose between wall power and battery power. The problem is I just don't know how to wire up the DPDT switch. Would someone make me a visual aid using something like paint?

Are you sure that outputs 7.5v?

Well the AC adapter says it takes in 100-240V and outputs 8.5V, but I later read that AC current is unregulated. I didn't want to fry my screen so I wanted to make sure it output 8.5V, since my friend has a multimeter I was going to try it out with him later this week.

I'm going at it according to much of Ben's book, and it said to remove the system's 7805 and replace it.
