I've had this SNES for quite a long time (it's very yellow), and it stopped working at least 5 years ago, possibly longer. The issue I'm experiencing is that for most games, I get a black screen. The only thing that ever gives me any response is Super Mario World, though it's not at all...

Have you checked out http://www.reddit.com/r/amiibros ? I think they've made decent progress on gathering Amiibo data, though I don't personally frequent there.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/231495464239?nav=SEARCH check this out. It's a classic controller in shape but a Gamecube controller in function. Looks like it plugs right in to any Gamecube port.

As far as I can tell this isn't an issue on the phone OS. All of my home screen icons are touchable buttons.

I recently switched from Android to a Nokia Lumia 1020. Along with the awesome 41 mp camera, I've had nothing but a smooth experience, performance wise. I've yet to find a better browser than IE, but I've loaded up on NES, SNES, and game boy emulators. They integrate well with onedrive for ROMS...

I say it's a fantastic idea. I can always think of little pieces I need for some figure or project that would take a little planning to make by hand, whereas printing seems like a simpler, more accurate approach. (Not personally sure about shapeways, by the way. But working with someone who is...

This looks awesome. Mostly because I've been planning nearly the same thing! (Using the same case, even) Can I ask what battery you're using? I've heard the wii could stand up to 14v or so, even though it runs on 12. Wasn't too sure how accurate that was though.

This is actually not far off from something I'm going to be attempting! Glad to see someone else has already done it. How does it feel in your hands, weight and size wise? Also, batteries or none?

Yes, that is correct. Is that more of a correct term for them? Searching for "push button toggle switch" gets me lots of larger buttons for use in cars and such, but nothing that appears to be for small electronic use. To the others, thank you for the flip-flop suggestions. I've been looking...

That's something I'd considered, but thought it would be easier said than done. Can't find much on it. Do you care to elaborate on how this could be accomplished or if there's a tutorial around where someone's done it?

This probably seems like a terribly stupid question, but what's a general term I can use to find non-momentary push button switches? I want a button similar in form factor to a tact button but that holds its state and toggles between the two when clicked and released, either by actually holding...

Re: Re: My first GameCube portable /Questions I have Yep, you're right. No battery doors. I think I still may be able to use a couple though. Got a lot of project ideas floating around. Let me know what you'd need from me. Thanks

Do you have any photos of those battery enclosures? I wouldn't mind having one or two. I wanted to implement some battery door-type fixtures but can't find any cheap nor do I wanna rip them out of anything I have.

You are correct. The shielding copper wire is a ground, and the internal, insulated one carries the signal. I recently learned this myself trying to hook up composite video to a wii screen.

Well, I didn't allow myself enough room between the board and the hot glued joins to screw everything back together, so I had to solder some longer wires in there so it would all fit and close up. Worked as more practice for soldering, which I needed! (Could probably use a better tip too) So I...

Yep! That's exactly what my problem was; check the post immediately above yours. I grounded all of the 3 wires to the same point and it looks great.

Well, checking some of the 64 threads tipped me off to something I didn't realize. The inner cord for my female connectors is the lead and the shielding around it needed to be grounded. After some fiddling, I found the bottom rightmost solder point was the ground! I grounded all my connectors to...

Just a bit of additional info that occurred to me: Are component cables special in composition in any way? I'm wondering if the ports from the Xbox converter just aren't capable of carrying the signal, though that doesn't make much sense to me. Also of note, they've got a bunch of single...

I bought a 7" intec wii screen to help me out on "making" a simple first portable. However, I'd like to add a/v out to still be able to plug it into a TV in case there's a nice big one nearby. Well, I looked around the apartment and found this original Xbox high def converter and gutted it for...
