With some work, you might actually fit the entire thing into a Dreamcast controller.

That would be awesome too, or work on a dreamcast controller to make it slightly wider.
Well, if i do that. Won't it would look like a DCp?

Also I need a small part and i wondering if anyone has it. A 6.3v 47µF CAPACITOR. They don't sell a 47µF CAPACITOR with that low of a voltage at Radio Shack. So does anyone have one laying around that they would be will to give to me? I need that part to fix my GG audio.


Finally, A level physics comes in handy.

Tell me what capcitors can you get and I'll have a go at working out for ya.
Um..... are you saying you might have one?


the voltage of the capacitor doesnt matter. as long as it meets or exceeds the original spec

Well, I just drew up a rough idea of what i basicly wanted it to look like. I'll probly move the speakers to another location when it comes time. But yea I've thought about that too.

Also, I probly get some work done on the GG tomorrow. Going to see if some of my unused stuff have the cap I need. If so I'll butcher it. :P

Yes, the speakers need moving; one idea might be on the reverse of the screen, in a place where your fingers don't cover. It doesn't make a lot of difference to sound quality or volume if your speakers are at the front and not the back (just unconventional).

If you care about this project at all you should not be buying parts from RadioShack. Their components are usually bought from companies that rejected them from their own production lines because they didn't meet their specs. Because they are of lower quality, RadioShack can buy them in bulk for pennies on the dollar, repackage them and sell them at retail for cheaper than their better quality competition. For this reason, most RadioShack parts don't even have spec sheets.

I've also heard that RadioShack sacrifices babies. Image

Lier, they just fry them in oil, and bake them in pies.

But isn't radioshack more expensive than most stores? Maybe he got it mixed up, and in reality, they're buying components that were too good for the companies!
