N64 Mod Gone Wrong, Power Supply Exploded..

This is a picture of (exactly) the cable we are talking about?

If it is, inside the black shrink that you indicate whit "?" must be a resistor, please check if is there and check also the value

 

nice phone cover btw...

 

I have uploaded a picture down below!
I got around 176.2 on the multimeter.

Picture:

Thanks!
Got it cheap of Ebay, I can link it to you if, you would like

 

thanks but i'm a apple's hater.

Ok the value is good. U have to solder the lifted side of the resistor to the pin 8 (yellow wire). In this way u will restore the resistor's bridge between pin 8 and pin 16 that will carry the right voltage to the pin16 and put the TV in RGB mode.
we hope...

 

YES YES YES !!!!
It freaking worked!!!
You sir, are a Genius!

 

Well.

Now u need 3 capacitors (buy 4) of 220microFarad 6,3v (or higher) rated.

You will put in series on R,G,B to match the Snes NTSC rgb cable as suggested by Ergot_Cholera.

If you will find sync issues on a TV, you will put also 1 capacitor in series on Composite, and a 75 ohm resistor form composite to ground. Like the gamecube pal rgb cable.

 

Swapping Composite whit Csync (or Luma if your n64 is a REV 4) will improve video quality and reduce audio interference.

 

Oh, I actually thought I had completed it, cause I can clearly see a change.
And my TV states that it runs "RGB".
But okay then!
I will order those capacitors now, and wait for those.

 

Just so I am 100%
I can use these right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-X-PANASON...al_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item3f2375d64d

I do happen to have a couple of: 220uf 16v's laying around, could I use them instead of ordering new ones?

Sorry for problably asking stupid, but I'm not quite certain of what Csync is?

 

You can use EVERY 220uF capacitor whit a voltage equal or higher then 6,3v, so also the 16v u got.

There is a lot of literature about Csync, Composite... how RGB works... you find your answer easily on this and others forums.

 

if i can, i want to tell u just 1 thing:

Dont post something on the forum and, after 2 seconds, edit it erasing parts of the discussion: you asked about 16v capacitors and, while i was answering, you deleted the question.
People reading the Thread will not understand what we are speaking about.

 

Sorry if I accidentally did that.
I was actually adding, a question in one of the post, not trying to delete anything at all!
But the 16v question is still there?
I never took it off.

 

Sorry me too, looking at your reply seems i was to aggressive, but, really it is just this hurting common language

 

It's quite alright! No harm done at all, I am very gratefull that you would take the time and help me!!!

Anyway, I do happen to have all the resistors and capacitors for building the scart finished.
So I will begin with that first thing in the morning.

I have also been reading about the Csync, as I happen to have a Rev3 Motherboard, as far as I understand I would need 1 680k resistor, going from the VDC-NUS Chip, to the Multiout.
(Link: http://retrorgb.com/n64cablecsync.html)
I have already ordered, the resistors.
And also ordered a, LM1881N chip, If I would need to build a Sync Stripper.
Does this sound reasonable enough? Or is there something I've missed?

Thanks!

On rev 3 Csync is on pin 3. on mmmonkey's site there is a nice gui to do that

Was just about to post it, but you already had.
Well, that means, that I can problably get this mod done, by the end of this weekend!

 

yeah! very close to...

 

Although I must admit, I hate cutting traces on motherboards, and certainly this one has to be cut a 100%.
Or else, I would own one barbecued N64 :/

 

What would I need other than those steps?

 

Build a better cable: whit more copper for gnd, be sure that the connector that goes to the console uses both ground pins, carry 12v for 4:3 aspect ratio.
But slowly slowly... console modding is a endless war.
