Looks like this has finally been <a href="http://www.hackaday.com/2007/11/29/nes- ... ">featured on Hack a Day</a>!
One reason the site's been crawling the past couple days, perhaps?

Wow! I still can't believe how popular this thing is! I started an instructable for this, but haven't been able to get anywhere with it. With finals this week, I may have enough free time to get it done.
One common bash on this thing is that it doesn't use SD cards, or isnt USB connectable, blah blah blah. If you wanted that, just use an emulator and plug a NES controller into your computer! The LCD is better quality than a TV screen anyways! This is meant to be a console, with a cartridge you can actually plug in. That way it keeps the retro roots, while still being pretty cool looking (and somewhat portable) at the same time.
This is why people still spend $$ to buy the actual cartridges, when they could much easier just download the game for free. It just wouldnt be the same.
Thanks CTfan for the correction! But I'm afriad I'm just destined to be a benheck wannabe

Well, the first post is rather messy with multiple broken images. I also have never heard of a family converter before.lovablechevy wrote:did you even look at his entire first post...?Sharp Sapphire wrote:Question: Where did you get the 72 pin from? Is there a place that sells them? :/

6X 1.2v 3500mAh sub-C's
1X 1/8'' to RCA stereo Adapater
1X Radioshack repair kit

Which would you say is the best connector? The one from the Game genie, or the family converter?G-force wrote:You could also go to a game store or pawn shop and buy one of those, oh so fun to get working NES game genies, and lop off the connector from it. Then use the guide in the NES forum sticky to wire it up.
Either one is good. I've seen both and I've handled both. All you do is get the 72-pin de-soldered and then you wire it to the NOAC board.WhatULive4 wrote:Which would you say is the best connector?
