I want to make an NES portable but I'm not quite sure how to go about connecting the screen. My question is, do I just connect it with a few wires or do I need to do any major hacking?

a few wires and a few small components are all you need

im not finding much :S

is there a way that u can connect it as u wud a normal tv... without any hacking?

Yes, but it'd be larger and heavier since you'd need to keep the rf box on the nes.

how much larger and heavier do u think it'd be???

Post by **gannon** » Fri Feb 25, 2005 8:47 pm

around 2" wider, 2" taller, and 1" more deep I guess. Maybe around 8 oz. heavier.
