Re: NES not working...
I had that problem with my NES, but I bent the pins back into place, didn't insert the cartridge all the way, kept it out an extra millimeter or two and didn't press the cartridge down. Everything runs well now.

Re: Youtube Changes (what you hate)
What I dislike about Youtube these days is how you can't chose to not have some subscriptions show up on the main page. I also dislike how liked videos by your subscriptions are shown. I used to have very peculiar problems in Google Chrome in Linux Mint; sometimes the video would be black and white ...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muVfidujxRg Great lecture on the physics of MLP, but he did make one mistake. with the Butterfly problem, he worked out that pony was much smaller in length than a filly so it's mass should have been lower. He should have worked out the density of a filly and used the...

Re: Freakiest dream you had
I've had recurring dreams of drowning at a beach, climbing a tile spiral staircase, and walking calmly away from a home occupied by giant mechanical spider doll heads out of Toy Story, but that was from when I was five. Recently, I haven't had many dreams. However, my Dad had a scifi dream about a s...

Re: What should I make out of this vintage 60's chrome toaster?
Status report: I found some aluminum foil (only a tiny scrap) and a couple of cans of coke. They've been working wonders on the small bits of rust on the exterior. I've used them on the interior, but it'll take lots of time and more aluminum foil at this rate. The rust is still there on the inside, ...

Re: What should I make out of this vintage 60's chrome toaster?
Refurbish the shell and put the guts of a modern toaster inside. (I just like seeing new stuff in old cases, like the people who drop LS9s into C3 'vettes.) Is that whole upper case actually chromed? If it is, some Coca-Cola and crumpled aluminum foil should get rid of the surface rust. It shouldn'...

Re: What should I make out of this vintage 60's chrome toaster?
Hm... my hands are sore from gutting it out. Anyway, it turns out that there is less space inside the toaster than I had anticipated... I'll have to cut the NES's pcb down a bit and put it in at a diagonal. I might also hard wire in a Game Genie instead of a cart slot; that way, the cart connector p...

Re: Completed First Project - Game Boy Pocket
I took my power from the pin near the bottom right labelled "5" and used a 12k resistor and a 10k resistor in parallel to make a 5.45k resistor. It looks great. I used a DS Lite backlight, so the resistance you need may differ.

Re: home made gameboy based on a super gameboy?
the question is whether one could build a gameboy basing on the super gameboy hardware (for the snes). sorry if the question wasnt obvious enough :p because basically the whole gameboy hardware is already inside the cartridge. How hardwiring a SNES to a Super Game Boy and making it portable? You co...

Re: Gameboy Pocket Backlight Flicker
Hey Guys, I bought a backlight from nonelectronics.com and it seems to work fine. However, following Bibin's tut at http://bibin.gg8.se/blog/projects-and-guides/how-to-backlight-a-game-boy-pocket/ , the screen flickers noticeably. And, the flicker seems to correspond with whats happening on the LCD...

Re: I have a spare DSLite, any ideas what to do with it?
Hiya, I'm new here. For my first project, I'm not going to do anything too complicated. I was thinking maybe just a frontlit GBC screen. Anyway... as the title says, I have a spare DSLite lying around. I know about the tri-wing screws (i hate safety -.-) and my dad is an Electrician. He has every s...

DS Lite screen on a Game Gear?
I have a couple of non-working DS Lite consoles, one of which has both screen intact, so I have three DS Lite screens laying around. I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow use a DS Lite screen on a Game Gear, but a difference in video signals and screen resolution would probably be a pro...
