What could Microsoft possibly have to say? HALO freakin 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its going to be announced next tuesday I believe. I voted for MS because I'm an Xbox360 owner. I could give a rats ass about the PS3, they are going to have MILLIONS more problems at launch than ms did. Don't even make me ...

Well... they were right. The day you get accepted into a University you completely stop caring about your grades. The day I got my letter of acceptance I pretty much stopped paying full atttention in class. I'm still gonna stay at about a 3.1gpa but I'm most definitely not trying any harder.

Tried all that... tried plugging in a regular controller, tried putting the push n click cartridge thing on. I also tried uisng the cartridge connectors from another NES. Same problem every time.

Well I messed around with it some more and now I can get Battletoads (and only this game) to start up and it will go perfectly with sound until the start screen where it freaks and the screen starts shaking like mad! I'll post pics in a few minutes.

EDIT: Heres the pictures. I know it looks sloppy ...

Well I didn't receive a reply last night and radioshack was closing so I ran down there and all the had were UNPOLARIZED electrolytic. So I just used the ones I had and called it good. It sorta worked. (see other thread)

The pic quality is bad... but it kind of appears that the controller is electrical taped on there? Other than that it looks pretty good.

i finally finished my first NESp, with the exception of the case. The battery is putting power into it, the screen lights up, I can see volume bar etc. I checked and the NES is receiving power as well as putting out the +5. The video booster also has power. The pins for the cartridge slot have been ...

Sorry for making another thread for this, but no one was reading the question posted awhile back in my other thread and I need an answer before radioshack closes tonight. :lol:

So anyways, for the power to screen on my NES I had to purchase to capacitors. i purchased to metal something ones, they ...

and I just looked at the book and I see the 1uf capacitor has a + and - meaning its an electrolytic capacitor.... am I gonna have to run all the way back to radio shack and get this type? Or will the kind of have work just fine as long as it is 1uf?

Ok I just bought the capicitors, they had like millions of them so I got some like blue metal ones.... they are the right ones, .1uf and 1uf but will the actual type like what they are made out of matter?

ok thanks for the help, I'll finish it up tomorrow. The parts list didn't say I needed those 2 capacitors so I'll have to buy them after school tomorrow. I've still gotta cut the case in the morning though.... so I suppose I'm going to have to make estimates on the dimensions.

Heres what I'm talking about. The tact switches are wired to the resistors. Should I basically just chop out what it in red?

The LM317T regulator does not power the controller. That whole set up that Ben has is for the screen only. You need 7.5v to power the screen and that is why he has those resistors/capacitors set up in that way. Just copy that circuit exactly and attach it to the screen as Ben says.
The NES itself ...

What I'm saying is in the book they also power the controller off of the same regulator used for the screen... I'm not using the books controller, I'm using the original controller.... so what should I do? Just wire the half of the controller like in the book and hide it in the case?

Coem on guys pleeease! This is all I have left to do and then I can laser cut the case tomorrow and be finished with this! I really need to know how to do this!
