How do you get the nes to fit in a 6x4 case? Isn't a NES board 7.5x6 or something like that?

He probably cut it down. And gib0r, MM007(who still hasn't sent the Atari bootdisk) is right.

I DID send the boot disk! I made sure of it this time...

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€

I have to agree with gib0r when it comes to the Dremel and Hot Glue. Unless you are very skilled its kinda hard toget good looking results. I found that covering your mess is easier than not making them.

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.

I simply didn't agree with saying never ever use it again.

Now those suggestions as to what to invest in is appropriate, as it can be helpful to a new poster. Thank you.

I didn't even use a Dremel.

I used a pocket knife, some cheap exacto knives, and a small hand saw.

I'm not really concerned about it looking really clean and nice. I just want it to be functional. Plus, all that other stuff would be too complicated....

I am building the portable NES by hand in bens book I put it all together last night.
today when I tested it out the control pads didnt' work I fixed that had to look at pics in the book to see where I missed solder connections,
well anyway Igot picture on the screen sound every thing worked great.
I bupassed the part on the PSOne screen when I built it and din't like how bright it was so I disconnected the wire and tested it out.
No picture but sound, so I reconnected it. Same problem I'm getting sound but no pic looked at all my video connections. None were disconnected. I don't know what to do. HELP!!!

Make sure you don't have any nasty little solder bridges, and check your connections with a multimeter.
