Sourcing a Nintendo multi out socket?

I'm familiar with that circuit and have tried to replicate it on those home made boards but I have issues with colors, I will try it again on a PCB and hopefully have better luck and if it works good it might be something I can add to the Wii Socket or something that connects to it. Going to need a toploader with NESRGB though to test it if it works with it or not.

 

The UniversalPPU will support component as well as VGA.

Seems there is competition for the NESRGB now.

 

My new favorite thread!

 

I'm interested in the multi-out socket/panel, depending on price?

 

Still waiting on the PCBs to get here so I can put the kit up for sale.

 

There's also someone in China who's working on something very similar to the Universal PPU: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10920&sid=f10e4a4161c369b7ddadb01968df6321

 

Any plans to make top loader / toaster full plastic cases?

 

No, that would be very expensive. I'm working on a frontloader panel for ARCADE from few posts back. But it's going to take a while because I pinched my nerve recently.

 

Wow, this looks amazing! I was just about to destroy a Gamecube to get the multiout port, but this looks 100x better than drilling out a socket and destroying a gamecube!

 

I already modded my top-loader with a multi out pulled from an SNES, but I plan on replacing it with one of these things once they go on sale. It'll look cleaner, plus make it easier to work with since the back panel will be separate from the power socket-- won't need to desolder it any time I want to remove the back panel anymore.

 

Hope you feel better, things are on hold anyways till parts arrive so just take it easy for a speedy recovery.

 

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a replacement backplate that will include the round plastic for the AC jack. My SNES2 works beautifully, but the round plastic bit is broken in half. NOBODY makes one - Hyperkin makes the 'classic' SNES replacement panel, but the SNES2/AV Famicom have different placement, and it's a pain to slice and BONDO up a 'long' replacement for the redesigned 'short' panel.

 

I looked into it (AC Jack) a while back and was in the process of designing one, but I never was able to find a suitable off the shelf surrogate for the metal contact for the side of the barrel.

 

i tried to use a laptop jack to replace the one in my snes but the center pin on the power supply was too small for it, although the plug fit perfectly it didnt make contact. there has to be a cheap replacement out there though.

If the laptop jack would have worked all i would have had to do is grind off the original connector from the backplate.

 

Not sure why you did that, you could've just used a common barrel-type jack and then used something like a Genesis PSU. That's what I did on my SNES mini, I cut out the original power jack and then mounted a panel mount PSU jack in its place. In my case it wasn't broken, I just like using the same PSU for a lot of my consoles to minimize cable clutter.

 

Do people want a jack included in the kit or not? I have 20 that I was thinking of including in the kit, they are standard 2.1mm.

 

Might be a nice idea, I'd be up for that considering I just ran out of 2.1 mm jacks.

 

I think that sounds like a lovely idea. Something that sat flush with that square cutout and popped right into the mainboard would be fantastic. A further thought - the SNES and NES Toploader have different power connector sizes - have you thought of offering two kits? One with an SNES-compatible jack, and one for the NES Toploader/AV Famicom.

 

Yea, nintendo designed a proprietary jack (as far as I can tell, haven't seen it elsewhere) for the SNES to prevent people plugging in their NES power supplies which output AC instead of DC.

But then PAL snes has AC power supplies, so who knows what the hell they were thinking.
