Few odd questions

Post by Sparkfist »

Ok these are about the NOAC Super Power Joy 3.

First is the power input. I believe its the one I got from Gannon. Instead of a 7805 it has a capaciter, transistor and I believe two resistors. I'm wondering if its more efficent to use thes together or just go with a 7805 for the power.

This NOAC also has a small capaciter on the audio line (right on the plug). Would removing this make the audio real crappy or just leave it alone? And should I do this to the video like, no they dont have on on there but could it imporve the video as its a common fact video isnt great on these things.

Last is has anyone tried to just solder wires to the fami-converter rather then plug it into the cart slot. I soldered the wires all on just a little while ago, I'm doing it to be sure that the I have enough room and a thinner profile. Mayebe someone will find this way usefull, its though by no means quick as I had to solder almost every hole.

Thats it.

The NOAC I got recently also doesn't have a 7805. Instead it uses a transistor (basically used as a digital switch) and a 5V Diode :)

Well is the system that uses the transistor more effecint or does it not matter?
