using scart as an american
I've read on several retro forums that using scart is the way to get the absolute best picture out of retro consoles that I own like the SNES and genesis, but as an American no TV's here support it. searching on ebay I've noticed a couple of scart to componant adapters that would work perfectly on m...

Re: WTB 60 to 72 pin adapter or Realtec Game Genie
I know that, but I've been to two pawnshops and a retro game shop and have yet to find one. I was hoping someone here could help me out.ProgMetalMan wrote:If you find a copy of Gyromite and it's heavier than other NES games, bust it open. It most likely is a Famicom Robot Gyro PCB in a 60-72 pin adapter.

Anyone know where I can get empty NES/famicom cartridges
As in no board inside, can either be repos or originals that have been gutted. I have sever games with badly maintained cases that I bought second hand and would like to just remove the insides and put them in a new case.

WTB 60 to 72 pin adapter or Realtec Game Genie
Basically I want to be able to plug famicom games into my american game genie. Or failing that, the rarely seen Realtec famicom game genie. Can pay cash or trade from my moderate collection of NES/Famicom games or Starfox and a Super Gameboy. Also would be interested in SNES + NES controller extensi...

Re: Need advice on SNES repair.
K. Ill probably just low tech it then. The console works as long as i line up all the pins by wiggling the adapter, but the slightest jostle makes it fall out of place. Ill just hot glue it.

Re: Wiring lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries
Mega bump, but I have a question. Don't you need to have a -7.4 charge going to the system as well?

Hey, because of size constraint issues I am having to install my motherboard upside down. the only problem I see is that the AV port is no longer facing up towards my screen but I still see pins on the side B below the AV port. I assume I can just wire onto those and get the same result right? Yes....

I'm just going to have a local battery store take the battery apart and attach a pcb and there's a friend of the family who's an electrical engineer I'm going to commission to connect the power source since I don't know what I'm doing. So as long as the battery I bought turns out to be good I'll be ...
