New NOACp worklog: DONE! Video on page 6

Bad luck mate. Which board smoked?

[Life of Brian]

Where do you get that super-thin Kynar stuff?

It's also known as wrapping wire, and you can get it from RadioShack in red or blue. I recommend it for projects with limited space, but it needs to be for low current stuff because it's so thin. I like using it for controllers.

Bacteria, it was the main board for the NOAC that died on me. Everything else is fine, though.

/weeps for the portable that could have been.

[gamer404]

Hey, what NOAC did you use? It looks like it has some pretty decent games.

[Life of Brian]

It's the Super Joy III. The original system looks like a cheap ripoff N64 controller, except the joystick doesn't even move, it has a player 2 jack, and a battery compartment (that's too small for AA's but too big for AAA's) where the memory card would go

I used to have one of these, this was before i started hacking, the batteries never fitted right, I barely played it and then the video port off the controller broke. i threw it away like a year ago (i think)

I have one of those too, (I plan on making a NES portable as well, but I'm going all out with a cartridge slot and a PS1 screen and everything. It's still an NES, just condensed, so why not?). I've never had any size issues with the battery pack, though. In fact, I was planning on using it on the portable if If I could get it to work with the screen.

[Twilight Wolf]

My cousin has one of those. Maybe I'll buy it off of him; he might be inclined to let it go if I tell him I'm gonna make something cool out of it.

[GoldenfrankO]

I still have you're Fugtendo. XD It may not be the best looking portable, but it gets the job (Playing hundreds of classic NES games portably) done.

[Life of Brian]

I killed three NOAC's on the long road to finishing that one, frankO

You would think I'm used to killing beloved electronics by now, but it's still a surprise each time. I don't intentionally kill them... Let's see, I've got four fried NOACs, a non-responsive GameCube, an Atari 2600, and a Retro Duo on my hit list. I've never lost an SNES, however, even from my early days of learning electronics and I was following Ben's backwards power diagram from his book. I thought my first one was dead for a long time, until I learned to use a multimeter and check connections for myself. I've also never lost a PSOne, no matter how much I abuse them. As for screens, I think I've killed a couple of Hip Gear screens and an Intec screen. I've never lost a PSOne/Zenith screen, however, and I managed to salvage that Zate screen I'm using for this NOAC portable by my nifty LED mod.

MURDERER!! LOL Just kidding! I too have killed things...mostly deer, but I did kill a PS1 screen once...not sure how tho. I fell off my desk, and landed on soft carpet. Somehow, that cracked the whole thing in half!

However, I haven't fried anything yet. Buuuuuuut, it's only a matter of time before that happens. Knowing my luck, I'll fry my current project the day before the MGC....

[Mario]

I've got two dead N64s and two fried PSone screens laying around on my desk.

Just checking to make sure I'm not losing my mind - what is the max voltage for a Super Joy III?

Does it have a 7805 like my superjoy 1? If it does, then that's pretty obvious.

No, it does not.
