Regarding Ben's BOOK. NEED HELP NOW!

[18masterkyle]

On page 121, it says that I need " to connect the positive from your battery to a switch for turning the system on and off, then connect the other terminal of this switch of this switch to the unregulated power in lead of the regular" ... My question is WHAT SWITCH!!??? I only read up to that page and mentioned no switch. Quite random if you ask me.

Thanks,

Kyle

Any random switch that turns on and off will do.

The problem is I don't know how to incorporate a switch into the case Ben has made. Please help or send pictures.. I'm a noob.

Get something sharp and cut a hole in the case. Then hotglue the switch in.

More questions

Sorry for the miss communication.

I have two questions :

1. What switch (give me a specific kind that you use) should I use?

2. I'm making a NESp. I'm having a hard time with wiring the controllers using his schematic provided in the chapter " Making your NES portable". One page shows that schematic and another page shows the left pc board with ribbon cable coming out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a million,

Kyle

you could use the nes power switch.

Or just any old slide switch. In fact any switch that turns on and off will work.

PLEASE READ QUESTION 2. Wiring the IC controller is very confusing.
