Ready to start the Widescreen Snes (PAL SNES HELP NEEDED)

Post by Porta Potty »

THE IDEA

Hmm I have an old PAL Snes kicking around and a 7" Widescreen monitor seems like a plan to me (Puts kettle on).

So I have ripped apart the SNES and the screen (Kettle now taken off as it didnt fit). :(


Oh look I also have an old burglar alarm complete with a 2500mah battery pack and the charger is working :P

THE PARTS LIST


1 x widescreen monitor
1 x PAL SNES (on a diet plan)
1 x battery complete with charger
1 x USB speakers chosen for their 5V input.
1 x Case to put the lot in.

THE BUILD

Starts tomorrow pictures to follow


THE QUESTIONS :cry:

Couple of quick ones here.

1. I know I need pins 11 and 12 for stereo sound. But how do I get both plus and Minus from these ????

2. can I use the 5v on pin 10 to power the USB speakers ?

3. Is pin 9 all I need to get video off the board ?

4. I am guessing I just need to trace the headphone jack on the speakers into the board and connect my audio inputs there, and find +5v (Pin 5?) and ground from the SNES and connect it to the USB IN on the speaker board. The screen can change the volume via the remote control.


I thought I would check as Bacteria (Excellent site by the way fella and top work) uses a different video signal and Ben's book uses a different SNES.

Thanks in advance

PP :D

for the speakers, the - is your ground... or the negative power line... the positive is from the audio IC
Things I need to purchase for my NES Laptop:
1X PSone screen
6X 1.2v 3500mAh sub-C's
1X 1/8'' to RCA stereo Adapater
1X Radioshack repair kit

..yeaaaaah...

Porta Potty -Thanks, pleased you like my site.

Pin 12 - right audio
Pin 11 - left audio
Pin 9 - composite
(you can get ground from any of the grounding strips).

Update

Firstly my camera is bust :(

I have mounted the whole thing up in a box to see if it works and it does :D

The USB speakers were no good so I am looking out for some battery powered ones with a 3.5mm stereo jack

I am going to rip it apart again and start building a case to put it in
