I've got to finish this project...

Ok, I'm going to give it a few more tries. I had gotten close as you can see from the link below:

However the more I do, the worse it seems to get. Any one interested in helping me finish up this project. All I can really offer for compensation is either an light sixer or a jr with a couple of games.

Any interested in that kind of deal?

Turbo Tax 1.0,

Major issues include:

for some reason I seem to need to turn the unit on, & then insert the cartridge.

Also no sound

Also the controller isn't hooked up yet (it's wired, but not hooked up).

Everytime I touch it, it seems like a wire falls off.

id help you, me and my dad are good with stuff like that, bout it would be my very first portable, and it would be fun cuz i like workin on half finished prducts and stuff sure ill help ya, if youw ant (i work with computers all the time)

so by helpin you mean? give u tips over the forums or u mail me the thing and i finish it? id prefer: anyone of the choices i listed

EDIT: if the wires keep fallling off, i have 2 things to tell you, either Hotglue the wires (after they are solderd) tothe board just so they stick and it wont cause any harm, 2nd or DeSolder them(take sodler off), then resolder (put new solder on)

HOLY CRAP!

60 posts in 2 days. Spammy enough?

HotDog-Cart,

I really appreciate the offer. I was really hoping I could entice someone with some real portable building experience. It is a bit frustrating to be so close, but not really have the skill set to finish the job. Still no one else interested? I could make the pay = 1 light sixer & an atari jr.

if you dont have a problem with being helped by a 14 year old i do live pretty close to you

Turbo_Tax,

I'd take help from a 10 year old if it was good. Have you made any portables? What do you suggest?

Turbo Tax 1.0,

I'd love to have a visit, but it may not be a good idea. As I don't want you parents to worry about such a thing. My current plan is to give it 1 more re-wiring & then if it doesn't work would you be willing to have me ship it to you? I'm open to any other suggestions.

Jeff

id really like to help you even tho i dont ahve any experience but i d have a lot of experience in Computers. (i know a computer inside out included most stuff bout mother boards) and id liek to help because it would be like a training for me but i know what you mean you need experienced people, becuase you dont want a noob breaking your system if i was to help you, you would have to mail me the portable then i mail it back when im done, becuase i cnat have ppl i dont know at my house

but turbo tax is already helping but its a relif for me becuase i wouldnt want to break anything
