I couldn't tell you how many wiring harnesses and Nintendo power bricks I have laying around here. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which I need to use with a Mario Bros. FWIW someone told me I couldn't test it on a Popeye... could someone clarify which of DK, Popeye and Mario Bros. requires -5V and which unit outputs this?

and believe it or not, searching for a Nintendo Classic pinout has become quite a troublesome task. I've only found the Vs. type.

if anyone wants pictures of the harnesses, let me know. my luck they'll be the friggin DK 4-board variety... which means I'll have a nice start to my impending For Sale page. :)
 
I started a thread like this awhile back. And I think someone had mentioned (mark I think, thanks by the way) that I could use the same power supply as is used for the vs. game that was in there.


I got a wiring harness from bob roberts, so it doesn't have any of the molex connectors (or whatever brand they are) I was going to hack the wires currently in there so it would fit the power supply still and use my new heavy duty Bob roberts mario harness.

As far as a control panel harness, I figured I would hack the harness on the cp and run wires from the main wiring harness into it.

I would be interested in seeing some pictures, or hearing about any issues you run into as you do this. I don't see myself getting to converting mine for several more weeks at a minimum.
