    Respect! Bet the US NES doesnt take AC power then, it would've been too difficult implementing that (thought about running a NES from batteries myself :p)

    And it pleases me to see that he is (probably) a fan of the good ol' Hitchhikers Guide :smt043

    get him to make a portable xbox... :smt043
     
  8. It would still be the same size, only with an LCD in it. And integrating the controllers into the XBox unit itself would still keep them at the same size too. :smt043

    No components take AC, all the NES needs is +5v at 850mA.

    .

    do you need to carry couple of car batteries on shoulder back to power it then. :p

    this remind me a story I heard years ago.

    "... a guy was waiting at the airport for his next flight when he noticed a businessman sitting across from him holding a machine on his lap. Upon close inspection it was tinniest and thinnest laptop he has ever seen in his life. It was barely 30mm thick closed and smaller than A4 size paper. The businessman was typing away on his cutting edge(?) laptop oblivious to him staring at his laptop like a kid at the candy bar. Couldn't resist himself he introduced himself and made an offer to the business for his laptop. The businessman was very reluctant to sell his marvel of modern technology but after huge sums of cash offering the businessman reluctantly agree to sell his laptop to him. After the businessman got the cash from him and left the sit leaving the laptop behind he noticed a large luggage bag next to the seat. He called out for the businessman mentioning him the luggage he left behindt. The businessman replied, "no sir, THAT is the battery for your new laptop..."


    cheers :p

    He used an NES-on-a-chip, so I'd imagine the power requirements would be significantly lower than if he were working with an authentic Nintendo-manufactured system.

    Hmm...I clicked through Ben's site and I saw mention of him hacking a Super Joy to death before getting one that he could get the controllers to work on.

    Edit: Yeah, http://www.benheck.com/Games/NESp page 1.htm is where he starts talking about hacking a Super Joy. This project is separate from the one in the original post above, so there's the confusion. He did do one using a NOAC, but apparently I got wires crossed, because this large one does not.

    reminds me, anti, what ever happened to the quasi-portable snes you had on the old board?

    Errrr.... for some reason it stopped working... I think I blew the voltage regulator :smt009
     
  20. The other guy is using a 'NES-on-a-chip' superpirate ultimate game thingy, just like Ben. Except his is going in an old Sega Nomad.

    Damn useful these Famiclones. Now if only a 'SNES/MD-on-a-chip' clone existed, we'd be laughing. Would make a MegaCD/32x portable combo more realistic to make.
