I don't see any bom there either, just a much too small picture of an aliexpress shopping cart

Scroll down, there are links to everything.

isn't there just a part number so that I can search the parts from a proper source? I don´t like to order stuff from ali

[Ancyker]

For most things? No. For some things? Yes.

• Get the Clock Generator from Adafruit (or here).
• Bulk Capacitor: PLS1A471MDO1TD
• 1K Resistor: PR01000101001JR500
• CIC: PIC12F629-I/SN (or here)

The rest either isn't available from a reputable source or is so simple it's not worth the effort (i.e. pin headers).

thanks for your help

I kinda ran into the same problem. So I started putting together a worksheet with all the info, since everything looks like it needs a worksheet to me, LoL.

Happy to take suggestions as to how to improve it, or updated/alternate sources and prices.

At the moment it's still a little in flux. I'm waiting for my parts orders to arrive in the next week. Once I'm sure everything fits and works, that would be a good idea. Can I edit the wiki like a conventional wiki, or do I have to do a pull in github? I'm a little rusty at that process, but I'm pretty familiar with editing wikis.

You can just click the edit button and change the text directly in the form, no pull request needed.

Cool. I'm going to wait until I verify the build before I post it to the What-To-Order page. Already found that cannibalized N64 extension cables do not work with either of the 3D printed cases I tried out. Have not received the bare connectors yet. In the meantime, I'll continue to update the Google Sheet.

If they're the extensions like in this video, you can crack the outer portion and use them.

Excellent. Thanks! I think the sockets alone are cheaper, but using the extension gets you all the wires ready to go.
