Intec Screen Pad Questions! Intec Blue-shaded wire pinouts.

Ok well I got the Intec Screen Pad today. It's brand new and came with some big heavy steel box, which would probably explain the $18 of shipping.

This thread will have all sorts of questions.

1) Are the Analog sticks usable on a N64 controller?
2) Can the daughter-board (with the volume/brightness/colour pots) be removed?
3) What parts can be removed to save weight/space? I have my eye on the big yellow transformer for the backlight. I recently obtained a broken psp for $5, gutted it for parts, and the diffusing material in it looks amazingly good. I may also use the LEDs from it. I mean, 5-6 SMT LEDs all on the bottom that evenly light an entire widescreen LCD? Amazing stuff.

4) Can a PSP nub be used as a N64 analog joystick?

You can't use the official N64 controller analog sticks, as I recall, they don't use potentiometers. Third party ones do, however, so they will work fine.

I don't know why you'd want to use the PSP nubalog, its so hard to use..

I want to make a sort of concept car. Completely non-practical but cool.
An ub3r thin n64 controller. Just because.

I can't keep my hands off electronics. I already broke the screen pad.

I'm lying. I didn't. I masked the front of the screen to protect it from scratches, opened up the back-light part of it, and added some of the PSP diffusing material. The back-light lights up amazingly more even. You would be amazed. Tomorrow, I add the PSP SMT LEDs.

5) What are the pinouts? The damned thing works with NTSC consoles (tested on PSOne Grey) but the wires are coloured as follows:

Dark Blue
Light Blue
Teal
White
Black
Pink

6) Where are +5V spots?

You're going to have to use a 3rd party controller. The 1st party controllers use some weird crap for the joystick while the 3rd party controllers used pots.

On mine the pinouts were

Dark Blue = Positive
Light Blue = Negative
Teal = Audio Right
White = Audio Left
Black = Ground for audio and video
(it was wrapped around the pink)
Pink = Video

I got this about two weeks ago and haven't played
around with it much, especially since I've had to put off
my project till next year.

Edit: Dark Blue to me is like a super dark purple so I'm pretty sure were talking about the same thing.

I still don't understand why nintendo did that anyway. Potentiometers are way cheaper, last longer, and are equally useable...

Anyhow, with a thirdparty controller, the PSP thingy should work.

Those are the correct pinouts.

I can verify the following are true.

Dark Blue = Positive
Light Blue = Negative
Black = Ground for audio and video
(it was wrapped around the pink)

But without a source of audio and video that's all I could get.

I'll take your word on these, as the rest checks out and switching these would only result in a garbled signal:

Teal = Audio Right
White = Audio Left
Pink = Video

That should be stickied. I'll change the title to make it obvious in search results, at least.
