Most of the Nintendo 64 is wired up and I just need help on wiring the Gameboy Advance up to everything. I have looked on all the other websites that are similar to this and no one talks about gameboy advances or I would find my information from there.

I was looking on google and most websites say the GBA advance takes 3.0 volts to work, correct me if I am wrong. I am wondering what is the range of voltage it can take? If I can regulate the battery voltage from 8.4 volts to 3.145volts would that be fine?

Second, al the buttons have to be shared between the two systems. I was wondering since tack switches have four pins can't use two for each system? One ground and one wire leading to the board?

You would need like a 8p1t or something like and then hook all the wires to it?

Just to see if this would work, but you would have two wires leading out of each button. Then, you would connect one wire to a pole. Making sure that the Gameboy advance wires are on one side and the N64 wires are on another. So, when you throw the switch it will only be touching the N64 controller wires or the GBA wires.

Why double throw? That means there is on/off/on. I would just want one throw so, its on/on. Then, when I switch it only one thing is turned on. I would never use the middle there is no point having both controllers being off.

Also, I am pretty there are guides to a 12 pole single throw switch on forums.benheck.com.

Second, if you spend a lot of time on here where are all the posts? Did they get cleaned up?

I have a question going on in this forum post
http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... 8&start=15
I blew the fuse on the screen and I need to replace it. So, far I know I need a .75amp slow blow. I don't know what the voltage should be rated at, I was quessing around 7.5v becasue the screen take 7v.

I dont think the fuse is rated 7.5V. Their usualy rated for higher than normal use. It might be somthing like a 12V fuse. Almost any voltage over 7 will be fine because the volts can be higher. Its the amps that have to match.

If I need a RGB output there is a mod for that right the LCD mod I believe?
If I do need that, then the AV outputjack I added is not going to work right? Because know I need to hook it up to red out, blue out, green out on the screen.

I have the converter, but I don't know how to put that on the screen and gameboy advance. If you have to solder it, then that won't be a problem.

lol, I don't even know how to hook it up to the screen and gameboy advance. Where do I place the ribon cable? Also, it has like 2 pieces one with the ribon cable and another that goes under the game boy advance.
I haven't really even looked at it. I don't know much about electrical stuff, so I won't try to put it together my self. I don't have the money to mess up (Well, I don't want to waste it atleast).

When I said solder won't be a problem, I meant that I have a dad who is a electrictian and can solder perfectly.

Update: Well, I took a look at it and it seems to hook up to the Gameboy advance quite easily. The other side of the ribbon cable seems to bit nicely into another slot. All, you really have to do now is solder wires to the input? I am probably wrong here.

Also, I will be going to radishack to get the 6 2p2t switches/fuses and I was wondering when you are hooking up the nintendo 64 there are wires that spread into like four other wires. When I shack the portable there is no way that those wires will be held by other solder. So, is there anything I can buy to keep the wires from breaking away from their connection. I know about shrinking tube, but thats only for one way wires.

I was looking around for where the fuse is located and it says in Bens book if you blow a fuse to cover PS1 with solder. I looked a PS1 and there is no fuse located there. I am wondering where the real fuse is located so, I can replace it with the new one I am getting.

I know there are a lot of questions, but I hope you can answer them. Thanks.
