Step 6Installing the main components
I laid parts side-by-side instead of on top of each other, it gives me a lot more breathing room with wires and is less of a headache.
As mentioned earlier I used a Gamecube power supply for this project. It plugs into the back, then goes to a big meaty PC power supply switch. When switched this sends 12 volts to the LCD, 12 volts to the SID and a switching regulator creates 5 volts for the C64 logic, audio amp and 1541-III-DTV.
The LCD is from AEI components and runs off the same single 12 volt power supply.
Audio amplification was done with an LM386 amp, pretty simple to wire up and can run off the main 5 volt rail.
