I'm tired, so no progress. Back to bed.

I'm starting to work on this again, along with everything else. Progress will be slow until my commission is finished, as that's a priority, but I have a little question. Should I stick with the Retrocon stick, or wait for 3DS nubs to be produced by dealextreme or something. Luckily the depression around the Retrocon stick is pretty much the exact same size as the one in the 3DS ( it was difficult to measure, but I think it's a millimeter or so bigger) so I could probably swap it out after it's finished. Ideas?

Anyone having trouble wiring up their 4-way tacts, I am using one from mouser (P/N: 688-SKQUAA) and I've tested it with a multimeter to get this.
Haven't actually tried it on the controller yet, but it works with mah meter

Woooooo! Finally getting close. Seeing as I was obviously never going to get it done, I paid budnespid some money to trim and wire up another board for me and I just got it in the mail. It is a perfect fit, just like the other board, but it's not a rev 5 so I can't do a RAM swap. However, the Jumper Pak isn't relocated and I've gotten the batteries to fit, so I might be able to fit an Expansion Pak in. Unfortunately, at the moment, I haven't been able to get the board working. Haven't done much testing, but I don't think it's fried. Prolly just a wire came loose or a short was created during shipping (It was tested before shipping). Now for the best part.
Well, now it's quite close to finished once this board starts working. All it needs is the controller board cut down and placed, controls wired up, screen wired up, and an audio amp. I'm getting a bit excited.

The wires need to be cleaned up a bit in there. It's a close shave 
Cart slot hasn't been secured yet so it's just kinda hanging down.
Also, those vent holes suck, but I need some sort of ventilation.

budnespid said:That whole wiring the RCA jacks backwards thing was a complete accident. I should probably wear my glasses more often and get some color coded cables
Toast, now that you have a super sexy bud n64, finishing this thing should be easy cheese.
Oh it will. Btw, for everyone else, the testing RCA jacks were wired backwards so I was inputting audio into video etc. I've done a lot of work already. Pics when the board and batteries are installed.

Never.

Probably SS
I guess I dunno how it's wired, but I've never put on any extra caps for filtering?

All the filtering caps and resistors that are normally there have been cut out. This one cap is replacing them.
