GAMECUBE INTEC LCD SCREEN PLEASE HELP!!!

I hav 7 questions about the diagam. Yes, that's right, 7. I'm an amateur at this stuff.
1. Is this the entire way to portablize something, or is there much more to it (besides buttons. ill talk about buttons later)?
2. Can this work for every system with a cartridge slot?
3. What is the hexagon object (located at the top right corner of the diagram) supposed to be?
4. How come some of the wires (such as the positive wire on the main power supply) are disconnected?
5. How are the wires connected together to make a three-way (you probably won't understand this question)?
6. What should I use for a main power supply (im thinking about a Rechargeable Race Car battery, but i don't know if it will work)?
7. Will a Walkman car adapter work with the Rechargeable Race Car battery (answer this if the answer to question 6 is yes)?

Don't answe these questions in a big paragraph, answer the like this:
1. (answer to question 1)
2. (answer to question 2)
3. (answer to question 3)
and so on...

1. That's the power wiring. You still need to attach the AV, cut everything down to make it smaller, make case, and and make sure that you don't mess up.

2. That would work with anything that uses those 2 voltages, as long as your screen takes 12V or less (make sure that you give your screen the right voltage). The setup for other systems is similar, but you do need to make sure that you have the other voltages setup right. (EX: The GCN takes 12, 5, and 3.3V, so you set it up the same way, and add in a 5V regulator)

3. You mean the rectangle that says "12V-3V convertor". It is exactly what it says it is...

4. That is a button. You should probably use an SPDT, because that is the power switch. Some people use DPDT and connect the charger on the other side.

5. You just solder 3 wires to the power wire. They are in parallel, so they all get 12V.

6. Any high capacity 12V battery (you can use as low as 7.2V unless your screen needs more than that).

7. Yes.

And for your future questions:

8. Use a PS1, HipGear (from any system), or Casio TV screen.

9. Yes, nos_slived is a god.

10. No, you can't use an Atari to make a PSp (that one's for you BiCostP).

And finally:

11. Goto PoD, because they cover most of the questions you asked.

ok i have found what i am getting this is it http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3660848 it doesnt say if it is ntsc or not ill look for more info can someone help me and tell me if it is or isnt?

1. ok
2. ok

3. no! the trapezoid at the top right of the N64 circuit!

4. i have no idea how to make a button.
5. thanx.

3. Ok, that is the power input, hence the reason that the power wires go into it, and the ground wires come out of it.

4. I said use an SPDT toggle switch. It has 3 pins somewhat like this:

Code: Select all

1  C  2

C is the common wire. You can put the voltage line of the battery here.
1 is the connection when toggled left. This can be the voltage line that goes to everything.
2 is to turn the power off. This is left unconnected.

The final diagram would look like this:

3. Can u get me a pic of a power input thing?
4. Thet helps a lot. where can i find a SPDT switch?

And now...(i hope im not being too annoying)... the question that will solve everything...can u draw a diagram of how to make button?

3. Pull the PSU out of your N64 and look at the holes on the N64 that the PSU came out of.

4. You can buy SPDT at almost any electronics store, including radio shack. It doesn't matter what you use for your power switch/button, as long as it has atleast to positions (on/off), and you know how to wire it.

12. What button are you alking about?

i meant buttons, i forgot the "s". The up, down, left, right, R, L, Z, select, start, A, B, X, and Y buttons. I'm stuck on buttons like peanut butter stuck to the roof of someone's mouth (that simile was really lame, i know). i need a diagram or an example or something!

OK, I can't quite figure out what system you're doing. It sounds somewhat like an N64, but the N64 doesn't have X and Y buttons, and you didn't list C buttons. The principal is the same with any system though: take the controller board out of the controller, cut holes in your case, and mount te board inside your case.

dashthehero · Post by **dashthehero** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 4:05 pm

where do i cut th holes and where do i put the board? I'm doin an SNES but i imagine the wiring is the same way as a N64.

nos_slived · Post by **nos_slived** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 5:23 pm

What holes?

Do you mean the mobo or the controller's board? Either way, you put it where ever it fits(preferrably inside your portable).

dashthehero · Post by **dashthehero** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 7:51 pm

but i dont know how to wire the controls so when i press a button it actually responds!

P.S. Wut is the PSU?

P.S.2.(not playstation 2) do i absolutely have to get a power converter? i don't mind all that voltage.

The psu is the power supply unit.

soundwave · Post by **soundwave** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 8:55 pm

Its the unit that supplies the correct amount of power.

nos_slived · Post by **nos_slived** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 9:53 pm

You don't need to do anything to the controls, just mount and fasten the board inside. The PSU is the N64's power plug.
