Nightwheel's ModularNES progress thread (update 3/25/10)

[nightwheel]

So I have all the parts except needed to make a Portable. Except a battery and a case. But those are minor things and can be saved for last.

And since I'm hoping and planning on attending MGC. I wanting to take a Portable with me up there. All I have right now thats small and takes carts is my Hyperkin FC Super Loader. But, it's my only NES right now. So I'm not wanting to hack it apart.

With that said, I have a idea for a Portable which will not evolve me hacking apart my FC Super Loader. It's going to be modular in construction. This will allow me to use the Super loader as part of the portable. Or I can remove it and use it on it's own as normal. Still plenty of details that will be to worked out like case construction. And what battery to use on the cheap. Since I'm strapped for cash trying to go to MGC.

Working Title (and most likely final name) for this portable is ModularNES

So yea, time to get this thing going. And see this one to the end unlike my other projects

Video of me testing the screen by playing Jackal will come soonish.

Cool keep up the good work.

Progress on a portable? From me? Well yes, yes it is!




As you can see, I have chosen a cardboard box as the case. Since it's cheap and easy to work with. And will hold the whole FC Super Loader with plenty of room for everything else.

As for battery options, I'm looking at either a regular 9v battery. Or using a 9.6v NiCid RC battery. I'm leaning more towards the NiCid since it's rechargeable.
