Uncle at Nintendo posted:Thank you so much. You should be getting 5V from both of them, so the problem may be the 7805 voltage regulator. It could also be the power supply though; do you have a Genesis 1 or similar power supply to try out? I'd go and replace both the 7805 and the power capacitors (in the silver box) anyway as they are the most likely component to fail on these 30+ year old consoles. I'd recommend writing down a diagram of the positive and negative pin placement, location, and uf and voltage values of each cap while removing them, as there are several possible cap array variants: https://console5.com/store/nintendo-nes-frontloader-cap-kit-nes-001.html Power supply cap info is at the bottom of this page: https://console5.com/wiki/Nintendo_NES-001 Monitor Burn fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Feb 10, 2018 |

d0s posted:on your multimeter a solid nonfluctuating "1" might be it's way of telling you it is out of range. Put it on the "20" and try again. OK the multimeter read 5v this time. Thank you! So I know it's not that. Monitor Burn posted:You should be getting 5V from both of them, so the problem may be the 7805 voltage regulator. It could also be the power supply though; do you have a Genesis 1 or similar power supply to try out? Thanks so much for the helpful reply. I tried a Genesis ac adapter and no difference. Also thanks to d0s I figured out its not the 7805. I did just get the NES to boot up twice. I used a Legend of Zelda cart since I know it's a game that immediately produces sound. I got the sound twice and both times the image was garbled, and all white. This I think tells me it's something with the mod because I recall that when you hook up composite from the side port it's all white with this mod installed. I would think if it were capacitor related it would have never booted or if it did it would be garbled in color? Any ideas? Again this used to work just fine. I have no clue what the hell happened while sitting in my basement.

This isn't strictly one-way, and there is of course no strict one-to-one correspondence between dollars in and quality out, but if you're working for hire and either quoted low or were given a hard and low ceiling, well... I'd direct my rage at marketing.

Well I solved the mystery of my nesrgb not working. Luckily I had a spare nes. Out of sheer frustration I swapped the 72 pin connectors...and it fixed it. It didn't even occur to me that it could be that because it worked just fine when I put it in my basement. Not to mention that I clipped the 10NES security chip which I thought makes it virtually impossible to occur if the games are clean. I even visually inspected both 72 pin connectors and I can't see a single goddamn difference between the two. Flashing red light still driving me nuts 30 years later

I'm not denying that some publishers had a tendency to publish crap though. They were probably the ones who budgeted and contracted games (note the number of licensed tie-ins they released), they were the ones who put their stamp of approval on meh-grade games, and they were the ones who charged $40 or $50 a pop for said games. Even if no one in LJN proper wrote any of the game code, they were the ones who happily claimed all manner of crap games done fast and dirty to cynically cash in on video game adaptations of popular movies. So yeah, they can own those games, because they obviously chose to do so and took the money for it all without a second thought or twinge of embarrassment.

sinepost posted:Basically, it depends on what you want to pay. The SD2IEC is the budget SD reader for the C64, but it's not that fast and isn't 100% compatible with all disk games. The 1541 Ultimate II is better all round, including near-complete compatibility with all games, but it's much more expensive. Unless you're really hardcore about C64 I'd skip the 1541 Ultimate II. SD2IEC works with like 90% of all the games and the few that don't you can use the SD2IEC to write real floppies for. It's just too dang expensive. Oh yeah, and anotha one  ...as I harp on about things being too expensive

I found a local person selling an original Analogue NT for pretty cheap. The original (non mini) model used some original NES guts instead of FPGA right? I’m assuming that means that the jailbreak firmware options for the mini aren’t available at all right? And it’s Analogue only? I can’t seem to find a lot of information about the original model, googling almost always seems to bring up results for the NT mini.

It used the regular ppu & cpu and had an option for either analogue or hdmi depending on what they ordered. As for the extra cores I don't think they work on it as it uses the Hi-Def HDMI NES board.

I'm not denying that some publishers had a tendency to publish crap though. LJN didn't make the games but pretty much everything they put out was complete poo poo and a lot of it was made by reputable developers whose non-LJN games were perfectly fine. Publishers have been wringing bad games out of good developers for a long time, this isn't anything new.

Thanks for the replies about the Analogue NT. I’m not sure interested in 8 but stuff, my nostalgia mostly starts at 16bit. The auction is at 5000 yen right now with nobody really bidding it on it, so I thought if it could load the other cores and rims from SD it would be worth a go. I will pass though, thanks again.

Some dude has popped up on UK Ebay selling Japanese NTSC RGB modded N64's for £55 made to order, (Console Only) I'm seriously debating ordering one and selling off my PAL model as I am somewhat disappointed with the picture quality, I've already got the required leads and an Everdrive so could use De-blurred Roms to sharpen the image further I'm just not sure if it's going to be enough of an improvement to justify the expense.

I used to loooove crusin USA when I was a kid for some reason, there used to be a kinda ghetto "family fun center" very close to our house when that was big in arcades and I would always go there and play it as the hidden school bus. I'd also play the hell out of the namco cyber cycles they had there, really a much better game imo. when I heard crusin was coming out for N64 I was extremely hype but even though it was a great port I got tired of it in the home super quick and traded it to my friend for his entire atari jaguar setup- the console, 2 controllers and like 4 games (one of them being AVP). I still have all that stuff haha I am super pissed cyber cycles never got ported to anything. I was always thinking it would get a psx port because ridge racer but it never happened

Okay, so I'm guessing there's a pressure pad beneath the pedestal, maybe a laser grid within the case interior or through the glass. And that's not including whatever other security measures are in the room itself..

cruis'n usa was a pretty good game for what it was, but san francisco rush kinda murdered the older-school type of racing game that cruis'n represented. as soon as rush came along, cruis'n just felt instantly outdated as gently caress and i couldn't really go back to it.
