Ta-Daaa! My NES p0cket
Moderator:Moderators
Camera is broken so I had to use my scanner. Looks better in real life.
Authentic NES buttons and labels
Here you can see the brightness adjusting pot, and the Player 2 port. Also the neat little velcro tab for keeping the battery lid shut.
Of course it has to have AV out
I managed to use the original GB volume controll with the Hip Gear audio amp. Above it is the power switch.
It really isn't done yet. For some reason the P2 controller went on the fritz and it needs messed with. The only button that works is the A button, even pressing B triggers A. But for some reason the light gun works perfect! (using AV out on a TV of course ).
And of course I need to fix the video on it. The NOAC video is blurry, and I need to put some trim pots for the color and contrast on the LCD. I will get a scan of the insides when I open it up to fix all that.
Fitting the audio amp. the screen, the SJ3, the cartidge connector, and all that other crap was unbelievably tricky! Mostly cause of all the wire involved with it.
One really cool thing about this is it has two switches on the side of the cartridge connector. When they are open you play the 76 built in games, but when they are closed (the cartridge pushes them closed when it is inserted)it plays the cartridge! It's pretty much an automatic game switcher.
if any of you are interested, I will be making a page with a small how-to for it on my site when I get the time. (hint: the more support, the faster I work )
[UPDATE]
New pics. I just wanted them to be on the front page. They were originally posted on page 4 of this thread, with explanations of what they are and all that jazz.
[UPDATE #2]
I never put up the pic of it playing a cartridge, so here it is

Also, this sweet little portable was stolen from his daddy on a skiing trip in jan-feb (exact date escapes me) of 2006. If you see it on ebay please PM me! I would love to catch whoever stole it.

Sweet!
Can't wait to see the web article!
(Just a little more support to make the site come along faster. )

For functionality I think I beat his. This has player2 with lightgun support, AV out (did his have that?), built in "crappy games", and a neat-ass paint job.Gamelver wrote:beautiful ...almost as beautiful as ben's NOACp
BTW, I am going to redo the black electrical tape on the screen protector. For some reason it "scrunched" overnight and no longer fits right
Also, I want to thank everyone who helped with it. Ben for the pinouts and inspiration, ladyada for the screen info, bubblez and all4sky, and gannon for help with the audio amp. Thanks to anyone I missed.
Now to beat Ninja Gaiden once and for all .....
