Lord FlatHead Posted February 22, 2003 Cool. Yet, I'd rather have a SNES built into my PC case, allowing me to put the cartridges in on the front and output the graphics to my monitor. That'd be pretty cool. 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh, my cousin hooked up his playstation to his monitor somehow. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted February 22, 2003 pretty cool if u ask me, i wonder how it handles heat. i would try it but i dont want to sacriifce my NES. however it would really bee cool to do it in a atari 5200 case, and you could have more seeing that it is very large(I think its even bigger than an x-box!) 0 Share this post Link to post
Gokuma Posted February 22, 2003 Never sacrifice a working NES. Get a busted nonfunctional lost cause for either cheap or nothing and use that. 0 Share this post Link to post
ghost Posted February 22, 2003 dismantling functional retro consoles is a form of sacrelidge. i hear you can go to video game hell for it when you die. of course, it's okay if it's knackered. 0 Share this post Link to post

DarkWolf Posted February 22, 2003 The only broken console I have is a Genesis Model 2, which is probably too small with which to work. 0 Share this post Link to post
Empyre Posted February 23, 2003 A while back, I read about somebody who took a regular pc tower and installed 3 or 4 different console machines inside, as well as a fast computer. That's sort of the reverse of what was done here. I believe it was entered into a PC modding contest. I wish I remembered where I saw that. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think it was an NES, PS2 and a Gamecube. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted February 23, 2003 All I need is a good gamepad that is similar to an SNES controller to connect to the game port so I can play emulated NES and SNES games. 0 Share this post Link to post

I have a gamepad that is like a Playstation controller, right down to the shapes of the buttons (triangle, square, circle, X). Too bad I don't have the drivers :( 0 Share this post Link to post

Gravis Eliminator Gamepad Pro, without a doubt. It is the most comfortable and ergonomically correct design ever. It is quite cheap, around $20-25 if you go by U.S. currency, uses USB, and has the standard Playstation 10 button placement plus degree-sensitive directional control. This means that you can easily play NES and Super NES games, and with a little tricky button retraining, N64 games through an emulator. 0 Share this post Link to post

Utterly worthless for fighting games. I suppose it wouldn't be as bad for NES stuff though, where you don't need as precise directional control. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted February 23, 2003 You're probably right on fighting games, but that's pretty much all that they're bad for. Trust me, you really can't do much better than GEGP. 0 Share this post Link to post
