Hey Geekz

I am the holder of a 1996Â´ nintendo 64..
The Power-On-Switch was disassembled as i got it!

Now i want to know the funcion of each of the 8 (power-on) pins
I donÂ´t know, which i have to connect, that the N64 is working...

I want to use a "normal" switch, eg. from the Nes.
I put the N64 mainboard and all components in a NES case, but i have the problem with the power-on switch,
Hope you can help me...

The N64 power switch turns on and off 2 different power lines. Also, you don't need 8 different wires. Wires 1,4, and 5 all come from the same line so you can combine them together or just use one of the wires. Same with 2,3, and 6.

Hope that all makes sense to you. And your project looks like it'll be awesome!
