Noac Help!!

Post by metal_mattt »

i have a super joy 3 . instead of making it portable i am turning it into a console. (in the controller form it does not support nes game very good, they wiggle a lot when connected to the family convertor) anyways, i have wired it up by mr. mod's diagram(mine looks identical almost) the video and audio work fine, but the audio has some extra noise, any help on this?

Use better wire or shielding its getting interference and are you using an rf modulator?

I would use shielded wire on the video and audio lines. If that doesn't help maybe try making a filter.

Is the audio grounded securely? I found that this was a problem on the actual NES.

I'm not sure if a NOAC button is normally on or off, I'm guessing off so heree goes.
1. Find GND
2. Determine which wires go to the controller
3. Get a wire and attach it to grounds
4. Plug the NOAC into a screen or tv or something
5. Start touching the now GND wire to different pins and see what happens in the game on screen, (you can use the hackola 76 in 1 cart here! :D )
Thats pretty much it. (If the switches are normally on, replace GND with 5v or whatever the switch normally conected to.)
Sorry for not explaining this very well, but at the moment I have no NOAC so I'm only guessing. Oh yeah, buy the way, if you fry your NOAC its not my fault! :D
