Step 7Putting it all together
The first thing that i had to do was to find a good spot for the power switch, and the led. So i found a good spot that had space where there weren't any electronics. Once that was in, I hot glued the power jack, and soldered the voltage regulator onto it. I then connected the regulator output to the switch, and the led.
The hardest part was to fit the cartridge port in the case. In order to do this I had to hot glue and somewhat put the case together, then i put a game in the port and held it where i wanted it to be. This technique worked good, but had to be done quickly before the glue cooled. Once that was in, I was on the home stretch.
The next part was to put the CPU right between the connector and controller ports, and tack that down with some hot glue. Next i hot glued the controller ports in, along with the AV outputs. Now I had to find a good place to connect the power to, so i chose one of the controller ports. I soldered the power off the switch to the positive on the controller, and the negative does the same. The only thing left to do was to fit the controller board in, and screw the case closed.
The controller board fit right between the ports, and the power switch (intentionally). Making sure as to not crimp any wires, I screwed the case together. DONE!!!!! Finally, I could run over to the TV and test it out.... works like a charm!
