Powering the NES with 9-volts?

Post by **gannon** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 6:10 am

They appear to be fairly nice quality, and if it wasn't for their price and my lack of money I'd definatly buy 2 sets of the nes and snes ones

I'd need two sets of each so I could play bomberman right

Can I make the battery work without soldering? I dont have an iron. lol

yeah, just hack up a dc jack cord for the nes and hook the batteries up to it.
The unit will be a little big without soldering though.

well the of poor quality way is to cut off the end of a adapter that will fit in it and duck take the cut off ends to the battery

edit:gannon beat me

Can the cord be any length? And can I still use 2 batterys? How hard is it do disconnect, so that I can recharge them?

You can hook up the chopped up jack to a crimped molex connector or something and just plug the batteries in too

That way disconnecting them for recharging would be easy.

Are those the little things you hook the 9-volts into?

They're a standard battery connector. Molex is just what they happen to be made out of, hence the name. They do make 9V specific connectors that'd probably be cheaper than the nicer molex ones. I'd recommend getting the hard connectors, as the soft ones can easily break.

Ok cool. Im going for cheap here because I am on my own income. I work at McDonnalds so I can buy stuff. Heh.

Oh wait, do they sell those connectors at the Radio Shack?

Post by **gannon** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 9:28 pm

Yeah

Good. Now I hope they have 9-volt rechargeables and I am set.

Only one more piece to go after this, and thats the Messiahs. (what I have been calling the Wireless controlls)

I wish the Zapper worked with LCD screens... LOL!
