Atari2600a's SNESp

<a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... y">THIS</a> seems to be the cheapest thing I could find; has anyone ever bought that LED-combo-thing from RS?

Do some searching for something like "10,000 mcd LEDs". There are some deals out there if you look hard enough.

if you are looking for led's then make up a fake company name and check out sunled they give free samples and their led's are high quality, they have some very good ultra-bright white 3mm led's that they will give you 5 for free and then you can get samples of other kinds of led's also.

would I have to pay ANY shipping at all?

[dman762000]

no there is no shipping to pay they just come to you, it may take a couple of weeks though, I actually forgot i had ordered some when they came.

I managed to screw top-half off the controller onto the case (I used cardboard to keep the buttons from being limp). I think I'll do w/o the shoulder buttons, since most games (except maybe Star Fox) don't use them or use them for a very small purpose.

I burnt out my 12V AC Adapter (left it plugged in too long & the wires shorted), so today I used a 9V 350mA one. Everything worked w/ it, but the SNES (plugged into a CRT) has a scrolling green bar when playing Star Fox. (I'm guessing the SFX chip isn't getting enough juice?) Does anyone know what the problem is?

OK, I (finally) bought a soldering iron! (but sadly I was $2 short of a desoldering bulb), so I'm back in business!

Here's a list of things I plan to do next once I get the time (maybe Monday)
-Desolder Exp. connector
-Desolder RF Modulator & Power connector
-cut down board

More to come!
