i was wondering of one of the people who achieved it could make some kind of tutorial. i would really like to know where and how to add the leds and where the buckle actually goes.

I think he was going to post a pic of the back of it

HAHA.

Once I get my pics up you'll see how I did it. I did it very easily and cheaply (As in I cheated).

I found a little sword at a Dollar Tree that lit up and made sounds. I simply removed the LEDs and the wires, made a little casing for the batteries out of thick paper, placed the batteries and contacts into the casing, then resoldered the wires to the contacts

. The switch is ghetto. I simply cut out the original controller board around the start/select buttons, then placed the LED board into its place. The switch was a little too long so I sanded it down. It just rests under the start button! Press Start and it lights up! As for cutting holes, that's a no brainer... the batteries didn't fit either until I cut a place into the board as well.

Hope that helps!

Heh. Shut you up. Though I did find out that you aren't the one selling them, I think... It's supramario, isn't it?

I never claimed it's sturdy. I'm not selling them, no. Do you think I give a rat's arse if it falls apart 20 years from now? No. I just made it for myself. It works, it fits together nicely. Looks kinda crappy in the back, I'll admit, but who sees that anyhow?

I need to buy some batteries for my digital camera LOL. I'll get them up soon.

Ok, Hey!

I finally got the pics!

Questions? No? Great

well, here they are, both buckles. (BTW, the actual belt just clips onto the loops. They are actually held on using a screw/nut. It's ghetto, but it works.

I had to use an .html file, since FC are pricks.

Not too bad, bro. I like the door hinge or whatever the brass piece you used was.

Unph@zed · Post by **Unph@zed** » Wed Sep 17, 2003 11:35 am

honestly, I havn't the foggiest clue what that is... I think it's used for hair thingies for women or something. It's not a hinge. I bought it from a local not-so-headshop

. I'm friends w/ the owner... he hooked me up w/ a few of 'em for cheap. Like $.10 each... I think I got 4...

But thanks man!

. The original plan was just to slide the belt into a coupel of those, but they were too long to fit on the controller vertically...
