    battery wont charge...

    Ok so I have my battery hooked up to an AC/DC adapter dongle, switch, ti regulator, and the thing that slides into chipsets (forgot what its called) that fits a PS1 mobo. Alright now when i hook up a power source to the DC adapter it doesnt charge the battery. Im %95 sure its hooked up...

    [New Question!] Can I use a battery i have from my laptop?

    Re: How do i get those 4 screws of the bottom of a gamecube! if i remember right the Gamecube has screws alot like the N64... kinda round with divits in them. if so then you can use a Bic pen by taking out the ink cartridge and then jamming the shell of the pen, nose down, into the hole. Shove...

    I need parts for a project

    You know you can get the ZN40's and the regulators for free, right? ZN40's you call Polycase, and ask for a sample (and lie about whatever business your working for). The regulators you can order samples online you just need to pay for the resistors and capacitors which is only like $5 for them...

    My PS1 Portable worklog thingy

    got a care package from ebay full of PS1s and PS1 (official) controllers ^_^ Went to take apart one of the analouge controllers (non-dualshock) and ended up breaking the circuit board on it cause of a screw I though I took out XD Luckily it didnt go through any important circuits so I can solder...

    would it be feasible to use this screen?

    audio amp guides are in the voltage mega sticky or random electronic guides. Well the mono audio amp is. if you want stereo Mario has a guide somewhere but for some dumbass reason (last time i checked) its not megastickied yet.

    how would i make a portable genesis.

    DS battery would work but you wouldn't have gargantuan battery life.. I dont know the voltage needs of the genesis but you should consider the nice 3.7v LiIon batteries in HailRazer's guide. I think they will get you atleast 3 hours of battery life with a screen. b(^_^)d

    would it be feasible to use this screen?

    This screen will work just fine. It actually can be used as an external display for something else as well as the screen for your portable if you so choose (internal switching mechanism for between the two inputs). Im using this type of screen in my own portable... You will need to build your...

    My PS1 Portable worklog thingy

    I dont have the stuff to make my own boards <=/ Even if I did I don't know how. Bread Board on the other hand I can just clip off how much I need, stick whatever I need on it, solder, and call it good.

    My PS1 Portable worklog thingy

    I forgot to mention the other day my Audio Amplifier came in (TPA6021A4N Stereo Audio Amplifier from TI, free sample of course ;) so after i get paid again im going to buy the bread board, and whatever capacitors, resistors, jacks (might as kill 2 birds with one stone and get a video jack too)...
