Dude crams entire NES clone into controller!

You've probably seen it already, but for those that haven't, look at this. This would definitely top any '100 things to do with all those cheap famiclones' list :nod:

 

The link does not work for me

 

It finally loaded!

That's an awesome mod!

 

wow - hong kong pirate geezers - that's the kind of thing we want. get to work.

 

That's really cool. I like the white LEDs under the Nintendo.

 

Holy shit, that's awesome

 

awesome!

 

So he used a Nes on a chip, arent those incompatible with several games?

 

I think so but with a mod as cool as that, who cares :dance:

true. But it's an NES in a controller. That feels like a real NES controller. totally worth the sacrafice consideing people will play with a normal NOAC console anyway.

 

Dude if you cant play the games you want then is kinda relevant...

 

There are 100's of Famicom / NES games. How many don't work? 10 to 20 maybe? I'm sure not'S not goingto worry someone too much if the still have a selection of 700 odd titles to choose from :nod: It's a bit like Saturn owners who can't play their gun games on their shinny new LCD TV because the guns only work with CRT screens. I'm sure they can live without them.

Yeah, I've had a NOAC with 72-pin cart slot and it played pretty much everything I threw at it, including SMB3, if I'm not mistaken. I didn't have any of the really advanced mapper games back then but there aren't that many of them around anyway.

 

OK then, as long as you can play the good ones then no prob.

 

that thing is sweet shame you have to have the huge cartridges hanging of the bottom though

 

yea, I wonder if there could be a combination of this clone with a flash-card interface

 

That won't really work, unless you find a way to include the mapper hardware as well, otherwise you'll be restricted to playing the same simple-mapper games as are already in the clone's built-in memory!

I guess you could strip the cartridges of their exterior, usually the PCB is but a fraction of the cart size.

 

Very cool, but more cool would be:

Giving the controller a compact-flash card for all the games! Instead of the cart-slot. Makes it less bulky and well just totally awesomo!

 

That would be really hard, actually.

 

Well there is a CF-adapter cartridge for use on the orig. NES and some clones. So the whole technique is already availible...
