Here are two options to add controls without buying an actual controller: Wiring tact switches to the GPIO pins directly (note that this doesn't allow you to use an analog stick): https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming ... spberry-pi Using a Teensy to build a custom controller (it's possible...

Thank you. I wrote RDC a PM. I don't think he has a website. By the way, I'm still working on this portable. The front and the back can be screwed together now. Currently, I'm trying to get a smooth surface which is a real pain since the ABS cement has left lots of tiny holes. I'm going to...

I doesn't matter very much what wire you use since the ampere draw of the LEDs is very small. I would use AWG 28 or 30 wire but if you have anything else at home you'll be fine.

Thank you.

Keep Power and Orbtronic just sell rebranded batteries from other manufacturers as far as I know. The 3600mAh are rebranded Panasonic NCR18650G (see http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/sho ... mAh-(Black) The 3500mAh are probably also Panasonic batteries although I don't know the exact model...

Thank you. I know his work. I'm probably going to try to replicate his the LCD driver board.

Link 2 and 3 are fakes. There are no 18650 li-ion batteries with 5000mAh. The largest capacity 18650 li-ion batteries are 3600mAh and made by Panasonic (model no. NCR18650G). Unfortunately, you can buy them nowhere. The second highest capacity batteries are the Panasonic NCR18650B which have...

Thank you. I don't plan on actually doing this. I just want to get to know the inner workings of the console better. I'm thinking of making a custom PCB for the N64 but I don't know if I pursue this idea further. Did Nintendo make any improvements to the CPU and the RCP in later revisions? For...

What are the differences between NTSC and PAL N64s? Judging by the pictures on Modretro, it looks like the only differences between Rev. 1 PAL and NTSC boards are the video DACs and the PIF-NUS. Is that true? Are there other chips that are regions specific? Are the PAL and NTSC version of the...

Re: What's the big deal with using the original analog trigg @Generalindividual Did you create the model for the 3DS slider yourself? Or can this be downloaded somewhere?

I don't really question that the smart charger you're using is safe. I just wonder if the way you wired everything up is safe when you play and charge at the same time. That the battery gets warmer doesn't seem to be a good sign. Since batteryspace.com doesn't show any schematics of their design...

Is that safe? (I'm genuinely asking.) Even if it seems to work, this doesn't mean that the battery is charged safely. A smart charger is a constant current constant voltage charger. If the battery is almost fully charged it charges with 4.2V and decreases the supplied current (see the figure in...

I don't know. It doesn't say much in the description. Theoretically, the charger should stop charging when the battery is fully charged. Nevertheless, I'm always very cautious when handling li-ion batteries in my projects. I don't charge them over night and disconnect them as soon as they're...

There are a few things you have to consider when you're looking for a battery. First, the voltage your system needs. Second, how much ampere the system (console, screen, controllers and anything else that's connected to the battery) draws. Third, how much battery life you want to have. And...

Yes, the DPDT switches work if you wire them up like this: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=14089 Note that for the N64 you don't need the 5V and 1.7V regulator. As asdfqwer426 wrote, you'll need a smart charger to charge li-ion batteries or they will blow up. Since these chargers are not designed to power...

With this it would be possible, I suppose: http://www.batteryspace.com/CMB-for-11. ... -char.aspx Does anyone know of a charge managing board that works with 7.4V battery packs?

This doesn't really allow you to play AND charge at the same time or does it? In the OFF position, you can either charge your portable OR play using the AC adapter. In the ON position, you can play from battery power.

The original regulator only works with an input voltage of more than 10.2V (see viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2844). I assume this is also the case for the integrated regulator in the Rev C boards. If you wire 3 pairs of 18650 in series, you'll get 11.1V, which will be enough to power the GameCube. It...

I've been thinking about making one of these for a few months to use it in my portable GC. I will definitely post my results here, should I decide to actually build one. :lol: @SpecialHam A parts list is on github, and there are explantions on how to program the chip somewhere in the thread...

Re: Protect battery from original GC-power supply with a dio Isn't the N64 power switch a DPDT switch? If so, you just have to wire it up correctly.
