It's alive! :D Turns out the spot i was using for ground(The metal where the RF box used to be.) wasn't conducting right. Probably because i beat the crap out of it while taking the RF box off. I moved al the grounds to a different section of metal and everything works fine.

As for the case i agree with you Kurt. It looks like crap. I'm probably gonna go with a landscape design (No need to relocate the cartridge slot is a huge plus). I'll post my new design when i get it figured out.

I'm waiting for the plastic i ordered to come. It should be here Monday. I should have this whole thing finished by sometime next week. All that's left to do is make the case and wire the controller.

I plugged in a controller port and a controller today to get past the game select screen on Super Mario/Duck Hunt so i could make sure the sound was working and the controller doesn't work. I tried 4 different controllers and they all kept switching between Mario and Duck Hunt over and over by themselves. No matter what button i pressed it just kept doing this untill i turned it off. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried all the controllers on my other NES and they work fine. Is there a chip on the board that involves the controller that i might have fried? If so which one is it so i can replace it? I have a NES with a broken PPU that i can use for parts.
