			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Jansaw says:</i></b><p>First of all, this is my first mod. I&#039;ve also never soldered anything before this, so stay with me...<br />I&#039;ve been trying to follow two different guides posted here to mod my NES in order to separate the square 1&amp;2 from the Triangle, Noise, and DPCM into two different RCAs, and playback expansion audio via PowerPak to a third RCA. I know you&#039;ve seen this a million times! Sorry, haha.</p><p>These are the guides, respectively:<br />Expansion Audio w/ switch: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z507PxcLjs&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z507Pxc &#133; r_embedded</a><br />&quot;Stereo&quot; mod:<a href="http://www.alone-music.co.uk/?p=681" target="_blank">http://www.alone-music.co.uk/?p=681</a></p><p>The &quot;stereo&quot; mod is simple enough, but I&#039;m having some trouble with this whole SWITCH thing...</p><p>Instead of mounting the resistor to the computer board, which he does in the first tutorial, I&#039;ve just soldered it to the ON position of my toggle switch. I then ran a wire from the OFF position to Pin 9 as in the tut. Would this theoretically work? Do I have the solders backwards?</p><p>When running a wire from pin 3 of the same pin set to an RCA, does it matter if I use a 1uF or 100uF before hitting the RCA? I can&#039;t for the life of me find anything under 100 microfarads locally... is there a downside to upping the uF to 100 in this case? </p><p>I don&#039;t have my PowerPak yet, so I can&#039;t really test it myself. I&#039;ve heard that the expansion audio generates a hefty buzz when it&#039;s not in use, so the switch seemed like a good idea (unless the higher capacitors rid of this?).</p><p>Thanks for the help! First mods are always kind of scary/fun, I guess? haha.</p><p>EDIT: Put this in the wrong Nintendo section. My bad! (mods?)</p>]]></description>
