what kind of connector attached to the motherboard?

Are you referring to the Power Supply? Or the Video?

Video is S-Video out and converted to RCA composite video.
Power Supply is a PicoPSU.

I meant, what is the connector that you used to connect the power/reset button to the motherboard?

[rikitheshadow]

Oh, well if you read in my earlier post when you asked me about those.......I already answered that...............................................

I used the typical jumper like switch connectors you use on all standard motherboards to connect the power/reset switch that come with most computer cases.

Essentially like this, plugs into the prongs on a motherboard, but the one I used does not jump the 2 connections together. It has wires fed to both connections and to the temporary contact switch.

thanks! Sorry 'bout that! I guess I didn't read it thoroughly enough.

What did you attach the A/V cables to? was it an adapter that connected to the s-Video port?

[rikitheshadow]

Ya, i picked up a S-Video to Composite Video adapter from radioshack and rigged it to the AV ports.
But i needed something slim to fit between the mobo's port and shell of the NES, so i bought a male connector and wired it in without housing.

Do you have a picture of what that whole connection looks like? Sorry if I'm pestering you too much but I want to make my own NES PC and this post really helps.

I'm also doing this project. I'm ordering parts soon, all ready gutted out my NES and cut and re-soldered the board with the power switch and light. Gonna fit an ION 2 Mini-ITX mobo and maybe a Blu-ray player in there (at least something that can burn DVD's). Borrowing my friends dremel soon, cant wait to get it up and running

Will make my own thread so I don't pollute yours
