N64 system link?

[nos_slived]

You are going to expensive for A/V. They make TV transmitters to transmit the A/V, and you can get the transmitter and a reciever together for less then $30. You can then make 2 or 3 duplicates, or you can buy them for under $20 each. I think it was Gannon(not sure though) who posted a link in the other thread, and I have seen them cheaper then that, and they have great sized ranges("you can watch what your neighbour watches" kind of ranges). Like I said, unless you use rumble/controller/memory paks, you only need one direction, which means only 3 or 4 transmitters/receivers. You can get these pretty cheap if you shop around. I know that I have even seen GC WaveBirds for less than $20.

Max cost if you're smart(and use 4 controllers and a master base): $90 A/V + $100 data. With screens and cases, this shouldn't cost you more than $325, but hey, if you want to play with 3 neighbours in different houses, it is the only way to go. If you shop for good deals, you can probably come in well under $300.

Like I said, you could go with wires, but if you want wireless, it is easier than it sounds.

ok her it is my plan

i will have a dock which will have a power in/av in/av out/ all the data required for system link

on the docke there will be RCA connection for the avin/out and then an ethernet cable will link to an empty n64 shell which will have 4 control ports and an av out

You are going wired. It is fast and easy that way.

[*o*]

exactly

i am sure it will work well but i need to think of a plug IPOD?

[nos_slived]

If you are wired, can't you have audio at the base instead of controllers?

If you do it that way, each controller needs:
Controller power
Controller data
Screen Power
Video
Video Ground
Common Ground

I think that both S-Video and PS/2 wires have 6 wires(not sure), so you could use one of those.

[*o*]

yeh that should work

i have found 2//4/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/20 core wire

[*o*]

do i need aground lead for each of the 3 ports or could i have one for all

van i do the same for the power

[nos_slived]

For power, I guess you could have one line high enough for the screen, and run a 3V line off of that for the controller. As for ground, yea, I guess you can combine those too.

[*o*]

so 1 ground line 1 power line and 4 data lines aswell as video in/out....easy

[nos_slived]

That should work.

You are going to have a base and four separate user controllers?

[*o*]

yes, the base will be a hollowed out n64

i am making a dock for my n64p, that will be a small vcr w/o the tape part, and modified to dock w/ my n64p, put in some smaller case, so i can watch tv right on my n64p's screen

[*o*]

i am not sure if i should have a dock and then cables to my slve unit or a combined dock slave unit
