Thank's chanticlair. This stuff should be stickied for future reference. I am sure other people have wondered this about this same noac.

That would be a power joy two, my favorite. Just sorta do what I did and test every single wire to see if it has a video signal, a ground signal, etc. The power should be easy enough to find, since there is a regulator.

I know about power already - i got it to run off batteries. But I don't have ...

Hip Gear stuck in the case!

ok, i have a hip gear screen. I removed all the visible screws. The motherboard still won't come out of the case. What is keeping it down? Should I just tear it out with all my strength?

I am sure there are no more screws that I can reach.

Super Joy II Pinouts

I have a super joy II (one of these: <img src = "http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9292/734079of3.jpg" >

I was wondering if anyone knew the pinouts on this thing, namely the five wires coming out of the bottom of the circuit near the 7805.

I know the far left one (when viewing the board oriented ...

If the depth simply isn't deep enough, you may just have to buy a new 72-pin connector. When you bought this one, did it say it was specifically for the NES?

No, I just compared the specs to what I knew about the NES cart. If the cart wasn't in a plastic case and was just a circuit board ...

my main concern was not how to get off the screw holes, but if it would be easy to work with a card edge connector that is so small, an entire NES cart would swallow it, even parts of the pins sticking out of the bottom.

What do y'all think?

I found this particular thing on ebay.

I figured there must be something wrong with that idea, or else someone else would have done it already.

Oh Well. Thank you.

styrofoam case, is it a bad idea?

I just had an idea last night for a case - styrofoam.

If I make it thick enough to be stable and lined the inside with electric tape , would it work? Would it catch fire easily?

New cart slot for Super Joy... Easiest way?

Well, Here is my dilemma. I am building a NOAC portable and I want to have a good ol' 72-pin USA cart port on it instead of the japanese one. I have a Family Converter that lets me play US games on the super joy and I have a plain 72-pin card edge connector that would connect to the NES card edge ...

Is this another NOAC?

I found one of these guys for cheap in a Big 5 catalogue. It is called the "dreamGEAR 'Tri Blaster' Plug N' Play Video Game.

<img src = "http://www.videogameoutfitter.com/image ... drm876.jpg">

Has anyone seen one of these? Is it a NOAC? Does it have a cart port?

Pitch on NES cart connector

I am buying a cart connector on digikey, but I don't know the "pitch" of a NES cart. How wide is the card edge? What kind should I get?

Yours dosen't work on 9v because you probably didnt bypass the 7805 regulator on board. If you do that, make shure you don't ever put 9V into it!


pardon my noobishness, but what is this regulator and where is it? Is it stepping down the 9V into a usable amount? Is it also responsible for making ...
