NOAC

hey guys, i have a NOAC thats shaped like a penguin!
its called the Power Games Super Entertainment System. its got wireless controllers. but there is a wired one i could figure out how to attatch

im taking pics of the guts w/ a cam phone so bear with me and the quality!

the games are on a 60 pin cart, which leads me to belive i can modify the slot on the back from famicom (60) to nes (72)

the only issue. i dont know how! if any of you can help please respond. thanks!

all of that can be found under the "Big Super Happy Mega Power NES Info Sticky."

scroll down a bit in the first post. it's right after all the posted portables.

i couldnt find it in there but i know where to get audio, vid, voltage, and theres a controller port for a famicom,

using the document u sent i could easily change the controller

im just not sure where on the cart slot i begin (pin 1) but the document helped
also, should i use the universal cart slot pinout at the bottom?

thanks

huh...

i can't find this link in the sticky anymore...

this is what i was meaning you need.

sorry bout that.

one way to make sure it can play nes games is to get a family converter before doing all that soldering...

hey guys i just opened an old "pc propad" from my game drawer and found a 14 pin chip labeled texas instruments LM324N
i got the data sheet on line and wasnt sure if it matches up to the 4021 for an nes controller. if any of you could notify me thatd be great!

thanks

bump.. has anyone any ideas?

Just because it has 14 pins does not mean it'll work at all. Don't rip up totally unsupported controllers; just ebay yourself a famicom or NES controller.

yes i know this, i looked up the data sheet but of couse since its not a 4021 it doesnt identify pins as brown red white etc. it has data ins and outs and whatnot. oh well! im gonna finish my genesis first before i embark on this project

zenith 5" xbox screen is on its way from ebay!
72 pin cart slot is on its way
as are 2 NES controllers which will provide my 4021 (and a spare for 2p or incase i screw up)

this should be fairly easier than my current project (which i highly reccommend you all visit

see my sig)

debating on zn-40 (45?) case or not...

ZN-40 seems really big for an NOACp.

Even with the screen I think it will have a fair bit empty space, though you could used that space for a tricked out battery.

Though in fairness I've never seen a real ZN-40, though I have read the size of it and seen a real NOAC (the one from my FC Twin that one day I got bored and opened it).

But whatever, it's better to have too much space than not enough, and the ZN-40 is a nice lookin' case.

hey guys, got my controlers in today (3rd party) and not to much surprise... they have gloptop ICs.
after relooking traces, i have come up with a pinout for them.. for those of you with the time.. PLEASE look the map over and try to find mistakes.. if there are any i need to know!.

aside from that i just have to wire the controller straight to the NOAC board (famicom input) and test that, then from there i can try using tact switches and just the IC.. i belive i wont need the blue connection because im not using a lightgun.. One more thing: there is a resistor on the back of the board connecting yellow to blue. i think its 10k. not sure. what significance does it have??
i will be using a 5" zenith xbox screen (already on its way)

i have heard rumors about problems powering it and a daughter board..? this wont be an issue correct?

thanks

Just wondering, what made you decide to go with a third party controller? Do you just like the feel of it better? Also, what does it look like with the case on?

I usually just go with a classic NES pad or Famicom Pad if I can find one. They play just as you remember, and pinouts are easy to find.

phantom92opera · Post by **phantom92opera** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 8:55 am

they were from the same seller i got the cart connector from on ebay and it was convenient. i will have enof case space if i have to wire tacts directly to the buttons...

im mostly worried abt wiring the cartslot

why didnt you just order a 4021 and make the controllers? It is much easier then you think it is.

phantom92opera · Post by **phantom92opera** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 9:08 am

i didnt kno where to get one and if i did digikey, they require a minimum of 20-25 per order
