How do i reduce the size of a yobo?

How can I get rid of the controller board and the power/av board of the yobo and just leave the middle board? Can someone draw me a diagram?

1. Solder A/V leads and Power straight to the main PCB
2. Solder the power switch and controller wires to the main PCB
3. Done

Well, the Yobo is pretty much a generic NOAC, so you might try the sticky thread.
If not, you might want to look into using a handy dandy tool called a "multimeter" which includes a "continuity tester" which will beep when point A is connected to point B.

It's really a necessary tool - you shouldn't do anything without one.

1.) I want the yobo, not a general NOAC and B.) my multimeter is so ancient, it doesnt have the continuity tester, but i guess i can use my test light thingy that turns on when it makes a complete circuit.

I still would like a diagram from someone PLEASE

a) If it doesn't have a continuity tester, use the ohmmeter. When you have ~0 ohms impedance (or very low), they're connected.
b) That light thing that turns on when a circuit is completed IS a continuity tester! When a circuit is completed, it's CONTINUOUS! Hence the name.

I can't believe someone who has a continuity tester and is obviously interested in modding something is so lazy that they'd rather wait for someone to spoon feed them info (in other words, make someone else do the work), instead of just taking 5 minutes and figuring it out.

I just dont want to mess up and ruin my mobo....im not being spoonfed and lazy, im being resourceful, and double checking.

I can understand that, but...
1) I wouldn't trust half the crap you read on the internet as fact...
2) It's really pretty easy to get foolproof answers yourself with a continuity tester.
I really think that if you want to be helped, you should make the diagram and then see if others would be kind enough to verify it.
You might also try the general NOAC thread to see if it hasn't been mentioned in there (since it is a pretty darn popular NOAC).
That said, good luck

Ugh, im really having problems, this whole tracing and checking the pins is really confusing

will someone please jus draw up a diagram? I'm sure it would benefit a lot of people.

Just look at what G-Force has done already! Geez! They're like all 99% the same. All you do is look at it and verify. So easy.

where's g-forces?

Sticky: Super Joy 3/Mega Joy/general NOAC/ Complete Pinout
The top thread in the NES section.

Thanks....im a n00b at this, thats why i want to make sure everythings ok before i go solder everything

SgtBowhack · Post by **SgtBowhack** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:28 pm

That's fine -- I'm just trying to encourage searching the forums thoroughly and self-discovery over reliance on others. Good luck

Well ive checked the pinouts for the general NOAC and it didnt help. I also tried tracing it on my yobo, but I got confused. A diagram would really be a lot of help right now. All im asking for is one stinkin picture

someone's gotta be nice enough to help me with that
