From NES to computer

[DooMBoy]

Don't think it can be done? I was amazed myself, your results may vary.

[NightmareZer0]

holy shit that is cool..

[EllipsusD]

It's so twisted that it's cool.

[Lord FlatHead]

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.

That's possible, IIRC. Heh, my cousin hooked up his playstation to his monitor somehow.

All you need is a VGA cable thingy, right?

[Sephiroth]

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!)

[Gokuma]

Never sacrifice a working NES. Get a busted nonfunctional lost cause for either cheap or nothing and use that.

[ghost]

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.

[DooMBoy]

Hey Sephiroth, my NES doesn't work anymore...

[DarkWolf]

The only broken console I have is a Genesis Model 2, which is probably too small with which to work.

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.

I saw something like that. I think it was an NES, PS2 and a Gamecube.

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.

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 :(

*ahem*

[Megalyth]

I want a tutorial that shows how to rewire R.O.B. to serve drinks and take voice commands.

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.

I, for one, can't stand the D-pad on those things (or 99% of any other modern controllers). 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.

[AndrewB]

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.

[Stealthy Ivan]

Hmmm.... Cool?
All I can say is some one has way too much time on there hands...

[Naked Snake]

I WANT TO MAKE MY COMPUTER INTO AN NES!!

Ah hahaha

[mmnpsrsoskl]

Yeah, looks kinda cool.

Still, kinda pointless.

[DarkWolf]

I hate the Sidewinder D-Pad, it's easier to use a keyboard than that thing.

We have a sidewinder, it was the suckiest piece of junk I ever laid my hands on. It's wrong on so many levels.

[Sephiroth]

[DooMBoy]
