John (jdmlight)'s portable NES!
Moderator:Moderators
I can dig up an extra slot and send it to you if need be, it's out of a FC Twin. I just need to figure out shippig costs to you, flat rate is about $5, though that might be overkill.

Re: John (jdmlight)'s portable NES!
So I've acquired a Game Genie. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the Game Genie piece, or just use the connector. I never used a Game Genie, did it cause problems with some games? (i.e. if you start the NES and DON'T enter any codes, does it do anything?)

If you don't enter any codes, it leaves the game alone.

Yeah, I wouldn't use the Game Genie anyway, it causes damage to certain games when you input codes.nevermind1534 wrote:If you don't enter any codes, it leaves the game alone.

I'd keep the game genie part, unless you need the extra space.

The only thing it would "damage" is corrupting a save file so that really wouldn't matter if the game genie is hardwired into the system or not.Frizo wrote:Yeah, I wouldn't use the Game Genie anyway, it causes damage to certain games when you input codes.nevermind1534 wrote:If you don't enter any codes, it leaves the game alone.

And considering the batteries are dead in almost all of my NES carts, that doesn't matter either.wallydawg wrote:The only thing it would "damage" is corrupting a save file so that really wouldn't matter if the game genie is hardwired into the system or not.Frizo wrote:Yeah, I wouldn't use the Game Genie anyway, it causes damage to certain games when you input codes.nevermind1534 wrote:If you don't enter any codes, it leaves the game alone.
I'm hoping to find a vendor of that goofy screwdriver at MGC... (easier than ordering it on ebay)
I'll go ahead and include the Game Genie part in my portable. The way I had it laid out last night lends itself very nicely to using the Game Genie piece.

Re: John (jdmlight)'s portable NES!
I used floppy drive connectors for the cartridge slots on both my first and third NESp's. Getting the two connectors glued together such that they'll line up properly is a little hard, but plugging a cartridge board into them while you glue them and checking how everything lines up helps a lot.WhatULive4 wrote:Using the floppy drive connector isn't necessarily recommended. I think Ben is the only one who has made it work successfully (many others have tried). Apparently it is really hard to get it to line up correctly and the spacing isn't perfect. I'd also recommend the Game Genie.
