hey I decided that somehow the controller board was bad. After I cleaned the whole board and disconnected all of the buttons it would still result in the same error. But when I connected the controller port back on then connected a "virgin" controller, it would boot up right and I could play my...

I've been working on my portable Nintendo 64. It is going great. I had to break apart the controller and rewire it. I rewired it, then hooked it up to the nintendo. When I turned it on, it would turn on and would display a back image. (My display will not even light up if there is no signal, so...

So for my portable, I am using two 3.7v batteries in a series to achieve 7.4v to power my portable. Although, the only way I can charge my batteries together is if I put them in parallel and then connect them to the charger. I was planning on having a switch on the outside to switch the...

Hello, I already have an audio amp, that I bought. It has everything I need with a potentiometer and everything. My question is how can I hook a headphone jack up to it so when the headphone is inserted, the amp turns off, and the same potentiometer controls the headphones? Thanks! -Mitch

Progress update 3.28.11 For my screen, I wanted to have a cut that made the plastic not so sharp. I also needed a consistent cut angle. So in turn, I took the flexible tool of my dremel and clamped it into the vice. This would give me a consistent cut angle and it would let me move the encasing...

I am using a 2.2K resistor, would changing to a resistor with lower resistance fix my issue?

So I am having an issue with my Nintendo 64. The system freezes when it is under load. I only have this issue when I am running it off battery power. This issue does not happen when I run the system off wall power. I checked the voltages and the 12v line was getting 8v(which I heard is okay.)...

Re: Progress update 3.26.11 Today, I started to work on my portable again. I spent all of my Saturday working on it. (I will still be working on it after this post, you just wont see it to my next post. Sorry) I worked on the case, and when a part of the case was drying I worked on the...

Yep, the screen came from eBay. It was about $30. I like the quality of the screen. It is the perfect size for my portable. If any of you want to buy a screen from the same guy I got mine from, here is a link...

So the screen arrived. It is a 4.3" 16:9 screen from eBay. The screen actually surprised me because the quality was better than expected. It has a menu for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and it has the ability to change from 16:9 to a 4:3 ratio! At first I couldn't get the screen to work...

So the screen I got was a cheapo 4.3" LCD from China. It says that it runs off 12v, but I assumed it could run of 7.4v. When I got the screen it wouldn't run over either voltage. I was curious that if it would only run over 12v, would there be a way to build a step up regulator so I wouldn't...

Hello all, my name is Mitch, and I have been a long time forum browser, but is a new member. I have been feeling ambitious lately, and I have decided to make my first portable, the Dock64. The name seems dry, so it might get changed later. I want to make my portable different from any other, so...
