more n64 stuff

[Triton]

a few more questions for you fine folk
1. how hot can a n64 get and not fry? (the heatsink on the chip infront of the cartslot gets quite hot after mebe 20 or 30 min of play)
2. what do you think of the casio tv-980? crap or ok?
3. how would i mod a gba SP to use a different screen? (im gettin one w/ a broken one)
4. how do you hook a n64 up to a porta TV that has no av inputs?

progress is slow on p64 due to lack of funds and school crap when i get money i could finish within a week or so!

3. check Lik-Sang. They have TV adapters for original GBAs, and there may be a GBA SP version out there as well

[someone]

yes i do recall seeing an AV out adapter for a GBA SP (i think it was one that only used the cart slot, not the expansion slot)

[Gamelver]

wati, do you need a AV in or AV out adapter? if it's an AV in adapter, here's where you can find it, if it's an AV out adapter you need, this is the only one that I know of......btw, you could probably find the av out one cheaper somewhere else, although lik-sang's out.....

[gannon]

he needs the av out adapter, but would that one (which is made for the gba) be compatible for the sp?

[Gamelver]

I would think so, as they both use the same type of screen, but maybe the ribbon cables are different or something.....guess the only way to find out is to try it!!!!!!!!

Can only answer #2.

Yes you can interchange boards, hop on ebay and search and see if anyone is selling one.

Also glad you see the light of reason, using one battery may cut the life down but it also cuts down the weight.
