New Wiring Diagram

Neildo_64 · Post by **Neildo_64** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 11:54 am

How does this look for a wiring diagram of the N64 with a PSone screen? Besides the fact that stuff is almost too small to see...

I think I made the wires and stuff too small. I don't think I forgot anything, but if I did, would someone please point it out so I can fix it.

Anyway, what do you think?

i have to say thats about the prettiest wiring diagram i have ecer seen in my life! bravo! it looks ok but its a bit hard to see

woah, nice diagram! i'm gonna have to put that in my guide somewhere. one problem: the N64 power switch should be before it splits up into 7.2v and 3.3v so that it switches both voltages

thanks.

Yeah, about that switch, good thing you pointed that out.

I had the primary power switch (6) hooked to the n64 before and didnt have a primary power switch. I just forgot to fix that. Thanks.

Edit: fixed N64 Power Switch and changed format to PNG for better quality.

Im glad it's actually useful.

Update: I added a closeup of the AV pinout on the N64.

Wow, nice... very clear and to the point. Someone sticky this!

sorry to bring back this thread but is there any way that you could make it bigger, i am having a little bit of trouble with some of the wires...

just a few questions, if I use this 3.3 volt converter, http://www-s.ti.com/sc/ds/pt78ht233.pdf,in place of the converter used in the diagram, do I still need the 100uf Capacitor shown in the diagram? and another question, does the N64 need 12 volts and 3.3 volts or 7.2 volts and 3.3 volts? I'm assuming the main battery in the diagram is a 12 volt one but I have seen both 12 volt and 7.2 volt batteries used. So for a final statment, which one is it?

Any battery which outputs a minimum of 7.2v will be fine with that converter. The N64 is overengineered to run at higher voltages than it really needs too (12v for example).

And yes, you need the 100uf capacitor. If you wire the capacitor wrong it is liable to explode; so be mindful of that.

i was also wondering if the main battery in the diagram is a 12 volt one and what voltage does the PS One Screen run at? the same as the battery? as I see no conversion done

curious, why 3 power witches??
