.NSF Player

Post by **gannon** » Wed Aug 25, 2004 10:22 pm

For awhile now I've been thinking of making a .NSF player like Kevin Horton's, but I figured his version would be too complex, so I started planning my own design.
I'm going to be using a noac along with a small portable tv. The tv was too small to use for a portable in my mind, but it'd be great for this.
I was going to mod the backlight so it uses leds, and also make a switch so I could turn the screen off so the unit would run longer. The only hard part I can think of is building the nes cart that holds the .NSF files, and programing a nice gui for it.

sounds interesting, but whats a noac, and do you have a link with more about Kevin Horton's .NSF player. Sorry if these are really stupid questions.

noac = NES on a Chip

I'll get a link later when I'm at work

Edit: here's a link: http://www.tripoint.org/kevtris/Project ... index.html

That is just insanity. *Rolls eyes wondering who comes up with this stuff*

oh ok thanks, looks like a cool idea, however I was never really a big fan of the music from the classic games.

Are you really going to listen to the music on those games. I personally wouldn't but Good luck. Kevin Horten is super smart.

I love the music from the 8-bit ages, so yes I will :p

Also, I tested my screen out while playing FF VII and Zelda III, and I confirmed that it's too small to be used in a portable. The images are great, but the words and numbers are way too blurry to read. I'm trying to fix one of my old NOACs to use in this too, but I think I might just use a new one.

Actually, I kind of admire the guy for that. The complexity of one man building that unit borders on insane. A guy who can make that work can go places. I only WISH I had that kind of patience and skill....I already have the obsession needed. ^^

Agreed. I am a HUGE fan of the music from the Megaman series.

How do you build this?
