for the switch, you cut a hole in the controller port and glue a spdt lever switch in it. Then you just use that to switch Vss between internal and external controllers.

Cut a hole in the port? Isn't that a bit silly? Shouldn't you just get another DB-9 connector that you can solder the switch to?

its just easier

It most likly would. a fifth of a volt shouldn't matter much in 1983 technology. If it did, replace a few resistors on the board to compensate, I guess.

Well all I can say isa it doesnt work on a NT6578

Actually, it's 1 and a fifth volts.

um...a 7805 outputs 5 volts, which is what the NES runs on. The difference between 5 and 4.8 is 0.2, or a fifth of a volt.

between 6 and 4.8

yeah, inputing 6V or 4.8V into a 7805 is quite the difference.

4.8 wont do anything

I'm talking about BYPASSING the 7805 and putting in 4.8V where 5V goes. I am not even talking about 6V. -_-

^ yeah, but in your previous posts you said nothing about bypassing the 7805

that wont work ether it fried one of my precious NT6578 chips

How can you fry the chip by putting in less voltage than it needs?

youd be surprised by soem of the pirate stuff I have itrs very unfirgiving
