Oh, I get exactly what you mean now. I think I can do that - I'll try it on my prototype, but the first version will only be with two or three cartridges, tops - so it might not be a good indicator of the noise level. I'd like to get at least 10 "slots" for the games. I might have to settl...

I'll have to do some reading up. I don't know enough about the workings of the system right now to do that, but i'll figure it out and give it a shot in my prototype next weekend. It sounds like a good idea, so it's worth shot.

Wow hm. Um. Wow. Okay, i'm going to spend a few days looking up terms apparently - this schematic uh... It's ahead of me right now, and I need to "decode" this. 15 seconds? I guess I really don't know what i'm looking for. For the record, this is my first project, but when it's done, it'll...

Wherein I fail to make a NES disc Changer

This thread/project is pretty much over. I went into this project with a very basic knowledge of elctronics and circuts, and a friend that knew some more. We made mistkes along the way, and a general lack of NES knowledge ruined us. I had fun anyway and learned a bit, and now i'm in search for some...
