Power BOTH Halves of the Retro Duo Tutorial!

Post by mmoshkowich » Wed Feb 25, 2009 9:49 pm

It is listed NO where on this site so I decided to take things into my own hands. After a lot of failure I finally got it working. The wiring isn't professional but its easy to follow!

Image
Pin 1 - 5V
Pin 2 - Ground
Pin 3 - Ground

Desolder the Power Input.
Image

It looks like this
Image
Image


On the Retro Duo Attach a wire to Pin 1 then attach the other side to the 5v pin on the 7805 on the screen
Image
Image
Here's a zoomed out Picture of the PSone Mobo and the 7805 is Circled. The 5v pin is the far right pin on the 7805

Place a wire between Pin 2 and 3
Image

Attach a Wire to Pin 3
Image

Then Attach the other end of that wire to ground
Image

That's basically it, I hope to see more retro duo portables and If you have any questions please ask.

You only need one wire for ground. Also, there are many many places you could connect to ground.

woah! does this mean I can run the noac without the snoac? My retro duo just came in the mail today, and I haven't even opened it yet, but I don't have a real nes so it would be cool to use when I tear out the snoac.

oh nevermind, In my excitement I posted this and then read it. so this is for an lcd and the snoac... ok.
