Finished my "Minty"Namco!!!

[jellywerker]

cool, but, erm, ugly? I think it would do wonders for it if you simply smothed out your cuts and such, maybe add some plastic filler or something to fill in the edges.

i bought one of the heatsinks from radioshack and cut it down so its just an aluminum board and i tried the namco with other batteries and it still doesnt work so i think its fried
also should the 7805 get that hot if its regulating the 9.6v battery from the shack???

[G-force]

Yeah it will get pretty hot just from that. If you used a lower voltage battery (ex. 7.2V) then it wouldn't get quite as hot.

[shmagoogin77]

i got a new namco today and am using 4 NiMH AAs instead of the 9.6v battery

[BloodNess]

hey sorry for the reviving of a dead thread but i wanted to know, does that namco p&p have a joy stick, if so, how did you add a d-pad?

[Sparkfist]

That's one sweet and sour portable. I know bad pun, but still that's a really cool case you built.

[timmeh87]

yeah ive never seen this before. i give you mad props through tiiiime

[gamemasterAS]

I saw it on POD before.

[shmagoogin77]

wow
i never knew my portable was that cool
ok to answer the dpad ?:
if you rip open the namco jpystiq its just a bunch of tact switchs thats get bumped by some plastuc that moves when you move the joystiq
on th namco board it has pinouts for up down left and right
i just wired up some tacts to it
easy as pie

[BloodNess]

yeah from what i see, the pinouts are simply labeled for eeeeveryone to see pretty easy to work with, hard to slim it. but i had an idea to have a dpad and a wheel apart for the twist control on the namco 2
