Could I just use the PS1 power adapter?

for charging? no, you have to use a charger that is specialized for that battery. For wall power, yes you could use a ps power adapter, but you'd need to have it also outputting 3.3v.

Check out this carrying case I got from eBay for my n64p

It's perfect

I'm having some trouble getting my batteries to charge using the ps1 ports.
Here is how it's hooked up

top two wires go to P+ and P- on protection circuit
Bottom two go to the clamps from the smart charger.

They charge when I hook the clamps to P+ and P- but not when I use the ps1 ports
I'd appreciate any help. thanks


Here is another pic

The problem is pretty narrowed down then. Its the PS1 port. Use a multimeter on its wires. I bet the charge voltage isn't going through.

 

[blue_stalfos]

The PS1 ports were broken and I didn't have any others so I just wired this part of the charger directly onto the charge ports.

Now I just need my case....

Here's an update on my case from Noah7

Good job Noah! Do you like it Blue_Stalfos?

 

[blue_stalfos]

Yes, I love it
the black looks so sexy

 

[krook3d14]

Great looking case.
Almost done with my case too, they look pretty similar, I wonder who will finish first.

*Can'tSayThisOnTV*.

I have made 2 cases IDENTICAL to that. (My N64p and Heifino's)

I hope Noah7 knows what he's doing. The bottom part of the A/B buttons above the reset switch is Dang near IMPOSSIBLE to get 100% smooth.

 

[blue_stalfos]

It looks alright to me, but you can't really tell from just a picture.
Even if it isn't perfect, its only my first and was really just a big learning experience.

 

[krook3d14]

Mine is really smooth right there, But I used hailraizers method so that might be why.

Also, did he check and see if a joystick can fit in there and clear the D-pad edge? Mine was a tad further apart and still was a little close.

If it doesn't, he could take apart one of those upgraded analog sticks with the real pots in them and use that. They're pretty small on the inside.

A\B is about 95% smooth. You can see some imperfections in the light, but with a glossy coat of paint, you're going to see imperfections. Joystick and Dpad fit, I just made them close on my first portable and liked the feeling.

 

[blue_stalfos]

What did you do to the power brick slot so that the games will fit?

You just file it out wider a little bit.

 

[blue_stalfos]

Still no case

Having some trouble with the batteries but that should be fixed soon.

Painting sucks. At least it will look good when it's done. :U
