Some random questions

Post by Designer noob »

I have some random questions that I hope you guys can answer.

1. Bacteria said to get a couple type of resistors 1.8 ohm 2.2 ohm and 2k ohm. I was wondering if you are just setting up with the one you let that resistor connect to the voltage output adjustor of the Pth0800. Then the other end goes to somewhere else.( doesn't show in the picture I am looking at) Well, I was wondering where do I put the other two resistors. Would the other two just connect together and then go off to the original connector?

2. I am wondering since the n64 is connecting to the screen of the Psone can I make it output to the tv somehow? For instance, if I had friends over and we wanted to play four player super smash. How would I make the n64 go to the tv?

3. At the end, when I have everything connected can I make it so that the charger for the battery is already connected to battery? So, when it needs power I can just insert the cord and it charges the battery and lets the game run. Without me having to take the battery out.

I don't know how confusing this will be to you guys, but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks.

1. I think bacteria said that just in case your output voltage is off or something. Only use one resistor - 2k will most likely work fine.

2. Just add A/V output jacks, connected directly to the N64's audio/video (which also goes to the speakers/screen).

3. Yep, just make sure you integrate a protection circuit (depending on what type of battery you're using).

I have had some small differences in output voltages using similar resistors on different TI boards, the 2k ohm resistor should be all you need though - I suggested the other two "just in case" there was noticeable difference and you preferred using them instead - resistors are dirt cheap after all.

The black plug on the PSone board is an A/V connector so you can wire it up to connect a cable to connect composite and stereo audio to your television. Pics of the wiring are on my guides (see sig). Unless you make alternative plugs for the N64 controllers though, your system will be large to take the big controller ports. You could if you wanted use standard stereo jacks to potentially connect N64 controllers into the system - they have normally right, left and ground connections - you need three connectors for your N64 controller - power, ground and data: just make sure you connect it correctly!!

Use the female power plug from the PSone screen to connect to your batteries (mounted into your case) and wire the male power jack to your charger so when the two meet the batteries will be on recharge. That's what I did (on my guides too, see my sig).

You're the one with the questions - and you certainly sent me a lot of PM's over the last weeks!! :roll:

When I said," I don't know how confusing this will be to you guys, but if you have any questions feel free to ask me any questions." Thanks. I didn't mean like you guys were dummier. I meant the way I asked the questions might be a little hard to understand.


Also, I didn't get a psone screen. I got one this one http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... st#p338584" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The one that Brian is using. So, its going to plug differently than the PSone screen right?

I am going to keep the four controller ports just in case my friends want to play. So, I am wondering how do you keep the controller made into the portable away from the four controller ports? I don't want to have controller one be the one already designed into the portable.
