Nice. I know anyone who has shopped on ebay knows and hates turbo 3rd party crap. I think the thing is a nice peice of equipment but I wouldn't buy it because from far away you can't really tell it's a NES. Know what I'm sayin'?

The LED isnt hard on the intec/hipgear screens. I did the LED mod to my hipgear screen and it was supriseingly (sp?) easy.TheOnlyOneHeFears wrote:Beautiful, as always.

EDIT: Would you mind updating the NES sticky G? Quite a few people have made more portables, and there's been more info going around too. Cheers

Then again, what's the point of doing the LED mod on the Intec screen, unless you're making it brighter with super brights or something? I mean, the amperage draw on these things is already ridiculously low, so the LED mod would save you no more than 50mAh. I mean, why take the risk if you don't have to?

I agree, but all i have are black stick-on letters, and that looks pretty lame.Lorelis-san wrote:Now that's a sweet piece of work there! Keep up the good work!
A decal or 2 wouldn't hurt though
Length: 8 inches. Width: 3 inches. Height 1.25 inches. It fits in a pocket pretty easily, so the shape works well.shmagoogin77 wrote:that thing is just plain sweet
what are the dimensions of it?
Same here, the LED mod was crazy easy. It only took about 15 minutes total. most of that was just looking for the right resistors in my box of crap All it involves is taking off the metal piece holding the fluorescent tube, take the tube out, desolder all the stuff on the board used for that, replace the metal piece, stick LED's on each end, wire it all up (I did series with a 32 ohm resistor, if I remember right.), then test it out. Worked like a charm. LED's were a great idea, thank you Ben!schmellyfart wrote:The LED isnt hard on the intec/hipgear screens.

I don't have a precise measurement, but I'm pretty sure it added at least a few hours onto the normal battery life.
NES Sticky; I'll get right on it! Moderator awwwaaaaayyy
The main reason I did it is because the normal backlight on my particular screen would not run off the 4 AA's (4.8V) that I was using. It came on, but was so faint you couldn't hope to play it like that.CronoTriggerfan wrote:Then again, what's the point of doing the LED mod on the Intec screen, unless you're making it brighter with super brights or something?

@Turbo Tax: I know that gannon runs his unmodded screen off 4 AA's with no problem. For some reason mine was just not wanting to cooperate.

That's one cram job. Compared to your NES controller thing, it's big, but you had to fit batteries and a screen on this thing. Congrats.

Thrift store, I think. I've actually had it for a while, just sitting there, daring me to do something with it.Turbo Tax 1.0 wrote:one other question, were did you get your SJ3 from?
Radio Shack, but they stopped carrying this particular case a while ago. Dang it. I wouldn't mind making another, this was a fun project.Kenny_McCormic wrote:very nice. where did you get that case?
