Heatsink. Large as you can fit. Hot glue might get soft or even melt under that heat.

Like one of those n46 heatsinks?

I've got no clue whats up with the audio. I did make it stero, not mono, and I went back over all the solder connections. Are the speakers just peaking... at half volume?

Not THAT big, but a smallish one from radioshack should suffice.

I didn't get time to order the battery yet, but I should have some time on Friday, so I should be able to get it then, as well as the resistors I need for the 7805.

a small update on the audio issue... Even headphones come in fuzzy, so I don't think its the speakers. Time for google.

@kurt

You said you used a separate audio amp on you rps1 speakers. Would that help the audio stop being fuzzy?

Probably not, it sounds like it might be the snes.

Try drawing the audio directly from the chip:

The SNES audio IC is a little 8-pin chip near the capacitors. There's a picture or two somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me. Trace the lines backwards from the A/V adapter and you'll find it. I believe the two outer pins facing the rear of the board are left and right audio. Give it a try.

You know I'm using a retro duo right? Cuz I don't see an 8 pin IC. I'll keep looking though... But first I'm going to hook up the noac portion and see if the audio works on my tv.

I assumed a mini. I'm not sure about the duo.

No offense to any of you, but that might be the source of the issue. :P

(Just discovered the battery thread so reposted there.) I'm such a noob.

I didn't figure out there was a batteries board until a few days after I made this thread. :wink:
