Seanmacdonn's N64p worklog

Those cells are an inch thick, but with some rewiring, one pack and a PCB could make a nice 7.4v 4Ah battery for $25. Nice find.
 
Well I'm using two of them, so that means 8Ah.
This is the basic format for it, nothing too special:

I forgot to put a d pad, I couldn't get the R and L buttons to look right, the z button is gonna be on the back, and the cartridge slot will look like
this (I hope)
 
Glad to see this log up Sean. Call it something to do with your name64 like everyone else.
 
I'll keep that in mind, now that the idea of McDonalds is on the table, how about the Big n' Tasty 64, or we could switch to burger king with the BK64
 
Quick Update: new case found at Goodwill:

What do ya think?

EDT: Used old board I think is fried (Getting a new one) and put it in the case:

Bump from the dead:
I recently started this back up, and I keep frying the n64 doing the cart slot relocation any ideas? I can post pics, but I don't think that'll do much good.
 
Make sure to stick the wires THROUGH the holes and not just stick it to the top. Pics please so we can see if your work is sloppy.
 
Do not solder to the "holes" solder to the outer pins and make sure you're making solid joints.
 
Yeah, that's what I meant.

What I was trying to say is, solder to the outer holes but stick the wires through them, not just loosely attached on top.

I solder directly to the top of the holes. Works fine for me. Also makes the whole board slimmer if size is what you're going for.
 
I don't think its that it was sloppy (although it probably was). The LED wouldn't turn on either, and I did put it on the outer holes.
 
If the LED doesn't turn on, the board should be fine. It's either not getting enough power on the 3.3v line or there's a short somewhere.
 
I feel stupid now, the jumper pack wasn't even plugged in. the light did go on with the jumper pack, but its only half relocated...
 
Ok, so it's still not fried, but I couldn't get it to work. I plugged it into the TV, and it turned a faint greenish color so either the wires are too long (I'm not sure what the max length is), I just need to clean up my solder joints, or something I don't foresee... XD
