Basically, the screen fried. I think it might be fixable, but I'm not sure. See page 3 for the full story.
Yes, it's called the NOGO.
Ironic name for a portable, I know. Quit laughing.Anyways, here are the main things about it:
Battery life: At least 3hrs. Haven't run the battery down yet.
LED-lit PS1 screen with the brightness mod.
Transparent case (GOOD-looking transparent case)
Uses a normal regulator for NES, not a switching regulator
Non-original cartridge connector (Yes, that's a good thing.
)Only two inches thick! (~5.5cm (It's not my fault it's that thick... It's because I had a local plastic company cut it for me, and they wouldn't cut the side pieces less than 2 inches because they were afraid they would chop their fingers off.
At least it wasn't 5 inches!))A/V out
Li-ion batteries with charge protection circuit and orange/green charge indicator LED
Since I know you only clicked on this thread for the pictures, here they are!
(Yeah, I know I didn't put a 56k warning! If anybody has been on these forums for more than two days, they'll know you need something better than dial-up to be here.
)Top:
On the left, obviously, is the D-Pad. On the top right is Select and Start, and below that is B and A.
The switch on the top left is to switch from to internal screen to an external one. (Like a TV.) The one on the right is an uber-sexy toggle switch. It controls the power.
Bottom:
Sexy angled view:
(On the bottom-right you can see the charge port and A/V out)
You can see some small scratches on the screen: That's from when I was using a file to make the hole for the cartridge slot, and I accidentally angled it down too far, and it scratched the inside of the case.
The good thing is, you can barely see it while the game is playing.
It's as thick as three NES cartridges!
And yes, that's a gold Zelda cart in the middle.
And, playing one of the best games ever.
The screen looks crappy because the sun was coming in my window. It really looks much better, as the LED backlight is very close to the brightness of the original.
That's it! My first portable. I absolutely love it!
I think it turned out great. You may think different. Why don't you leave a reply? I do really love those.
