Re: MGC Ben Heck Experience's Swap Meet Bazaar Tradepost
I'm looking to replace the c-stick for an official GCN controller. The rubber nub came off of the one I'm using for my portable, and I don't want to use a different stick for cosmetic reasons. I'd also like to get some tactile switches if anyone could spare any. I have a couple of supposedly broken ...

Re: Charging li-ions in series
I would advise against running two sets of Li-Ion batteries in series because you would be using them in a condition that the PCMs are not designed for. Although each PCM would ensure that their respective cells stay level and don't get over-charged or over-discharged, there would be no system in pl...

Re: PS1 Screen Schematics
Most of the better multimeters are able to measure capacitance. However, measuring the values of components while they are still in the circuit is not a reliable way to determine their value. If there are multiple paths that connect the + probe to the - probe, the measurement will be the single-path...

Re: Console VS PC Gaming (Split-off from "Come and Rant Here")
you shouldn't be able to aim while reloading. think about it. You also shouldn't be able to reliably get head shots while circle-strafing and jumping around. Realism is nice in some games, but when they are purely action-oriented, it usually would impede the gameplay (i.e., the different control sc...

The only games that I own for PS3 are Metal Gear Solid 4, Skate, and LittleBigPlanet. I personally was not impressed by MGS4. LBP is superb if you like to make stuff. Skate is above and beyond the game that keeps me the most occupied (aside from WoW). The best thing to do right away is to start down...

Also, would the PS3 have any problem switching between component and composite? Our HDTV is susceptible to burn-in, so if I could have it hooked up to the HDTV for movies, and easily switch to a composite cable that goes to our "gaming" TV downstairs for gaming, that would be perfect (wireless cont...

I did a comparison between the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of Batman Begins when it was released, and the differences were pretty significant in both video and audio. This was between 1080i and 480p on a 42" TV (TV can't display 1080p). An upconverted The Bourne Ultimatum DVD on the PS3 is still not as...

I don't know the exact way that he wired it up, but the idea would be to put a logic oscillator into the controller and hook it to the R1 input on the board. The switch to turn the rapid fire on/off would be controlling whether the oscillator is powered on. When the oscillator is on, the R1 button w...

Yes. You have to use color matches. Red Or Yellow can do in to red slots, and yellow or blue can go into blue slots. A clarification for sockets: any color gem can go into any color socket. You only need to match gem colors to their sockets if you want the socket bonus. Gems of secondary colors are...

Extreme Makeover: N64p Edition
It has been almost two years since I built my portable N64. Since I was never satisfied with the case that it first appeared in, I slowly worked on a more appealing one in my spare time. After almost two years of off-and-on construction (accentuating the "off'), it is finally finished. In case you m...

I'm not sure what the problem could be, but I did notice something worth mentioning: the circuit you put together is done in a fairly weird manner. You didn't use the copper pads on the board to solder the components down, and instead just lumped the solder onto the leads on the plain side of the bo...
