Well everything is working alright, but I tested the headphone jack today and there's quite a bit of interference, it's playable but there's a constant buzzing noise. Is there anything I can put on the lines to reduce it? Like a capacitor?

Hey, think you could get me a deal on some of that Minnesotta dirt? I hear it's good stuff. :lol: Personally, I'd use fishing weights. I mean, what if the bag containing the dirt ripped? That... Wouldn't be good.

Well I really haven't done much of anything. I did get some results form mgc though, a lot of people played it and maxed out the abuse it will take. And now I'm most likely going to add a fan. There's was just enough heat to actually warp the position of the joystick, so now I need to realign that, so yeah. I'll figure out a way to fit a fan in there, there should be enough room.

THANK YOU MARSHALH!!

Marshal and I were talking at MGC and I asked him about my audio amp problem, there was interference on the headphone jack, although I'm pretty sure it was on the speakers too, just too quiet to hear. He told me to check the power line and try putting an inductor on it to boost the power. I didn't have one so I just got 5 volt source off of the n64 board and it worked like a charm!

Unfortunately while I was working on this I discovered a new problem. -_-

I looked into it some more and can't find a problem right now. Oh well, I'll get to it some other time, I really haven't felt like working on it lately.


So how does the switch on a headphone jack work? Never figured this one out.

I'm just going to wire the headphone jack with the switch on the actual speakers instead.


Anyway I'm going to start work again tomorrow night. Since I really don't have anything new to show I've decided to post the sketch I drew back in January.

I love looking back at it and looking at how far it's come. I feel like I can make anything I can think of. :lol:
