A Complete Newbie

Post by mog123 »

Ok, i am a complete newbie and i lack in technical english. So i cant understand much of the SNESPortable tutorial on extremetech. I have a SNES PAL, Modded to play Imports. I need a screen, but i think ill use the PSone Screen or if i get any answers if i can use a "One station" 2,5 inch backlit screen, then ill use it.
I'm pretty good with a heat gun, so that wont be any problem, but i just dont know what i should put where and where should i connect the cables :(

Any help with graphic tutorials would be awesome

Ben's book is a good place to start. :)

ben's book has almost no technical english and is quite straightfoward. Any it does have, it explains from the ground up. NO prior knowledge of technology needed.

If you don't want to spend anything on shipping go to Borders/Walden/Barns & Noble and ask them to order it for you. You'll have to wait maybe a week, but no shipping.

And as stated before Ben is not a technical person, hell is real job is graphic design. All the book really does it tell you the mount places, the parts you need and a guild to put it all together. Very simple and easy to understand.
