You will find this website to be helpful - -

Input what you have for voltage (is the NES sending 3.3v to the LED?) and then the specs on the LED you want to use.

Add a bit more resistance to the circuit if you want to make it dimmer, but use what is calculated as a baseline to start with.

Whoa - - classy looking mod!

Do you have a complete "mod log" of your project's progress? I would be interested in reading that and seeing lots of pictures.

That looks great, congrats on finishing up! (Congrats on having a PowerPak, too, great cart!)
