Re: Junglenes

Thanks! If anyone is wondering here is the speaker design by itself:

It's kind of like a small dragon design. It originally started out as just a rectangle but then I gave it a slight curve for style and thought to myself "Why not ...

Junglenes

Yes, presenting the "Jungle NES" due to its painted color scheme. I was unhappy with my first NES portable and decided to make another.

Re: Removing part of the screen

I'd definitely be willing to try and take more off but that last bit was all I needed for everything to fit. Thank you though, I must have missed that, I'll go look it up for future's sake.

Removing part of the screen

UPDATE: Okay guys, I went ahead and removed the part of the board highlighted and everything seems to be in working order still. My problem is resolved. Keep in mind I am using a separate audio amp.

I searched around but didn't find any definitive answers when it came to the Psone screen's sides ...

Quick Question

I'm almost finished with my portable here, all I need to do is put it in the case I'm picking up on Monday. But before I do that I have one quick question to ask:

Is it okay for voltage and current to backflow through the Lm317? Underneath the battery connector is a jack for wall power that is ...

RGB Question

Edit2: It seems a bit cryptic to me, so I'm just moving on to composite instead. Yeah, I just puked in my mouth a little. It's not really that bad though, still looks decent. So, it's resolved.

I'm not really sure whether this belongs here or the Portable screen hacking section, but I've got this ...

Re: PSOne screen color issue

EDIT: I resolved my problem. It WAS the SNES. I had a third one up in a shelf missing some parts that I just replaced with the one giving me video problems. Wola, my problem is solved! Nothing was wrong with the screen at all. Now I have a spare one!



I apologize for the double post. I bought a ...

OMG! Pipey! I missed talking to you so much, haha, let me give you a hug. There's a lot going on actually, but pretty good overall!

WTB: PSOne Screen mobo

Does anyone have a motherboard in good condition from a PSOne screen lying around that they'd like to sell?

I have the LCD, but I have a hunch that the board is giving me a few problems, the screen seems to be in good shape.

Re: My arcade machine

Welcome to the custom arcade machine making club. I have one too! Did you do all this yourself, including the woodworking? It's nice for a first attempt, though not the most professional looking. If you ever decide to do it again, or to modify this one, I would recommend that you rework the control ...

Re: PSOne screen color issue

The screen is getting around 7.51V and the SNES 4.9V.

I probably should mention that prior to taking the screen apart I received a used PSOne along with it. When I first tried it ghostly green trails lingered off everything (when it was normally connected the the PSOne.) Well I tried it again later ...

My arcade machine

I've had this finished since last October, and I'm pretty proud of it. I constructed the case from plywood, is six feet tall, has a CRT monitor (to use the light gun) and inside is just a computer that runs a program on start up.

From start to finish:

PSOne screen color issue

I've got my SNES mini hooked up successfully to my screen, and there is solid video. However, there is this "band" at the top that flashes in and out (it's black, and it's kind of big) and it also has an effect on the colors on the top portion of the screen. Other times, the color only is affected ...

Thanks for the link, but I already own his book. The problem's not with finding the audio sources on the SNES, but how to connect them properly to the three wires shown coming out from the screen. I've tried quite a few things and have had nothing related to sound, and even got some creepy effects ...

Getting audio to work

I'm good so far on the video and I am currently trying to get audio to work.

The screen I'm working with is kind of hard to get inside of, because one of the screw heads is broken up and there's no way to grip it with the screwdriver anymore.

There are three yellow wires that are audio all audio ...
