Bush's N64p: The Whacka 64 (for sale/commission!)

[Hrduncan]

is there a short in the batteries? i used 2 1kohm resistors and it works fine i dont think the resistor is your problem... probably the batteries have a low mah maybe?

 

[Bush]

Well my regulator is getting about 6.9v rather than 7.4v, so I may need to switch those lines. Either way, switching to 1.8k should help. I also think each n64 handlrs the 3.3v line a little differently; some have greater tolerances than others.

looks awesome dude hopefully youll get the battery issue solved and can start finishing up

 

[3MZ]

Got any new pictures of the case?

 

[Bush]

It hasnt changed, you can see half of it in the video.

Well, I finally got the resistor replaced. Its now 1.8kohms, but im still having issues. The board is getting 3.3v, but its still pissy. It gives off a ton of visual interference then cuts off. Any ideas?

Sounds like an interference problem on your video line. I think there is a circuit somewhere to fix it, but I don't know for sure.

 

[Hrduncan]

maybe its the cart slot relocation or you might need a new board.....

That doesnt explain why it turns off though

 

[bud]

I dunno. Is it over heating?

 

[Bush]

No

 

[bud]

Can I have a picture of ALL your power wiring?

 

[Hrduncan]

hows the portable coming? still having a problem with the n64?

 

[Bush]

Hey guys! Just wanna let you know this isnt dead. I was working on a commission and will work on this again soon.

 

[Hrduncan]

yaay!

 

[Bush]

Well, BUMP. I've been really busy, and I am currently sick. Next week I may begin work on this. But this isn't dead at all, so in the meantime, feel free to comment.

TA FREAKING DA

I started working on the power wiring again, replacing the battery wiring. I think the lines from the protection circuit are too thin, and the N64 isn't getting enough power. If I have the screen tapping into the regulator on the n64 board, could that be stealing too much power and cutting off both it and the 64? That's how I have it wired now, and I think that may be my problem. Also, i'm going to order another case, as I have talked with my buyer and we both like the vertical cart slot idea. The batts are charging, I'll tell you if it works afterward.

uhh, are you using solid strand?

I hate to do a super bump, but any progress?
