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

Re: Bush's N64p

Arrgh! Maybe I will use a yobo... I just need a GCN analog. Im also looking at a makopad.

Re: Bush's N64p

The superpad color worked for me but the Yobo didn't. I don't know what was up because I tried 2 different Yobo's and niether of them worked.

Re: Bush's N64p

Mine didn't work until i desoldered the GCN analog from the board it was mounted to... I've done it twice so far and both times it worked great.

Re: Bush's N64p

Im ordering main supplies tmrw minus the controller.

Re: Bush's N64p

Yay, my money is in, time to order stuffs. In the meantime, could someone link to the supplies I will need for the 3.3v step-down? for the life of me I cant find nearly anything concerning it.

Re: Bush's N64p

You need the PTH08080 or PTH08000, and there's a resistor in there somewhere, don't remember the exact details, but it's in the N64 MegaSticky.

Re: Bush's N64p

Do you know which is the more efficient one? And could you tell me the names of the capaciter and resistor?

Re: Bush's N64p

PTH08080 is newer and works up to 18 volts input vs 14 volts for the PTH08000. It has a different pinout as well, other than that they are essentially the same. I believe it require a 100uF capacitor but it may be a 10uF. A 1.8K resistor will get you exactly 3.3V or a slight undervolt, a 2.2K resistor will give you around 3.1V, a significant but acceptable undervolt. 2.0K is a nice middle ground, but hard to find; the easiest to find is 2.2K but I have seen 1.8K as well, 2.0K I haven't seen much.

Re: Bush's N64p

I've decided on some 6000mAh li-po's, but I cant seem to find a 7.4v protection circuit that doesnt cost a ton to ship. Any help?

Re: Bush's N64p

It's listed in the Battery megasticky, but batteryspace.com should have them for a cheap price.

Re: Bush's N64p

It comes to about ten bucks total.

2 1K's in parallel does the trick.

Re: Bush's N64p

Just get a free sample of the PTH

Re: Bush's N64p

I ordered the pth08080 and joey, thanks, I was going to ask that.

DO NOT DO THIS! 2 1Ks in parallel is NOT 2K. I forget what it works out to, but two resistors in parallel is less than one resistor. It sounds odd but it's true.

You're thinking of series.

yeah i meant series

Re: Bush's N64p

WHICH ONE WON'T FRY IT? THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW

Re: Bush's N64p

Putting two 1k resistors in series will work the same as a 2k resistor.

Re: Bush's N64p

Thanks guys! Ive ordered two 3.7v lipos at 6000mAh, SS's cut down n64, and a Tommee controller from stoneagegamer. I will order the screen tonight.

Re: Bush's N64p

But I cant find a PCB that is not from batteryspace. Could someone suggest one?
