No, Yahoo Japan is not nearly as open as ebay. It is conducted in a Japanese way and sellers hardly ever ship abroad. You really need Japanese too. There are a few agents who will act for you but add in fees and shipping etc and it adds up.

If you really want to feel sick have a look at this link ...

The old turning yellow is a funny business and not a reliable indicator of age. I have an old SFC which is perfect but my '91 US SNES is half yellow. Depends on the material in each one. The top half of mine is fine the bottom is made of the 'turns yellow with age' stuff. This is quite common ...

Just out of interest (are you in the UK?) why do you want to play any Pal titles?

Living in the UK we usually have the other problem - NTSC on Pal, most enthusiasts here buy US or Jap consoles then we have the best of everything - full screen/full speed and RGB enabled scart TVs.

But to answer the question if you want to pay all games possible you will need to do both as some ...

Thank you! I will just use the PS power supply then - make it very simple.

Can I just ask another sort of related Q?

How do I re-wire the SNES reset switch? I want to removed the existing switch and re-wire to a standard type switch ('push to break' I guess?) to be mounted on the new case. Unsure ...

Thanks - so I would need to take the power from the SNES 7805 input and feed it to the PSone 7805 input ?

Or would this not work as the input is then around 12-16v (see my opening post) and the PSone only wants 7.5 volts?

I don't want to end up with two seperate power supplies - how can I step the ...

Just to clear up the led thing (sorry for any confusion) - these are nothing to do with illuminating the PSone screen - they are simply there as 'decoration' to illuminate the clear casing I plan to use. (like a modded PC case). As I will be using mains I will keep the standard PSone bulb ...

That make things simple. This may seem a daft question but is there any problem tapping the 5 volt output for the PSone screen, ie is there enough power there to go round?!

The leds are standard 5mm ones as below. Do I only need one resistor from the 5v supply and then connect this supply to all ...

Thanks for the quick replies.

I had measured thevoltage before the chip (doh!) - measured from the output it is a very lovely 4.98 :)

Would it be necessary to use a resistor for each led (standard 5mm leds) and if so can anyone tell me the value please?

Where (and how ) could I get the correct ...

DC voltage to a SNES/SFC?

Hello all.

First post, very pleased to find this place. I have been checking inside the circuit boards of a SNES and a SFC to check out some ideas.

(I am in the UK where our mains power supply is 220v.)

On my US SNES I use a dedicated UK transformer which according to the specification on the ...
