Re: Modding a front loading NES into a top loading NES

As far as reliable goes I thought the connectors of the front loading NES wore out because how it loaded, you had to push in at a weird angle. The top loading NES, although pretty much the same connector, didn't wear out did it?

Besides, I've fixed I think a total of 6 NES consoles just buy using a ...

Re: Modding a front loading NES into a top loading NES

Wow, that is one heck of a mod. I just wanted to use the NES case.

As far as the 72 pin cartridge slot, there are places to get those. I could also remove the one in the NES and re-use it, just wire all the bins to the PCB board. I just want to see how other people do it, it's not that I can't ...

Modding a front loading NES into a top loading NES

I swear I've seen a few sites on how to mod a normal front loading NES into a top loading NES. I've tried googleing it a few times with no luck. Even with different terminology.

The reason I ask is I have 4 working NES consoles, all the old front loading kind, and I'm going to get this years 8-BIT ...

Good site for CNC case construction.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good site that has lots of pics on making a CNC case for either a handheld or a computer. I want to see what it would take to make a netbook case for the BeagleBoard.

I had the book that Ben wrote, but I have no idea where it is. I do remember he talked a ...

Hmm, maybe since most people that order there order monitors for devices it costs less because of the trouble of taking it out of the protective case? Or maybe it has a larger controller in the case?

Well, if you look at the controller and then at the case it looks like it has the same controller.

For the most part are all 7" screens created equal? I can't really find any reviews.

For example, there is This one and This one , different price but they don't seem to say what the difference is really. The cheaper one comes with a case though. In fact, they both have about the same product ...

I know, but before I get a controller I need to know the part number, or is it that easy?

The smaller touch screen I found I just googled the part number and controller and got results. I'm asking for the Archos screens just because I would think they are more popular. I'm kinda new at this.

Well, I think these kind of delays are normal, the only difference being that the devs talk to us. If this was a product of Sony or Nintendo we'd never hear anything.

The money thing I'm not sure about. I lost some money in the exchange rate also, not $50 though, but the extra memory pays for it. I ...

Hey Kyo, I see you all the time on the gp32x forums. I had my pre-order but with all the bank trouble I have to re-pre-order, just waiting for them to get a credit card order up. I'm going to get one.

This is basically just to play around with, I'll have a beagleboard and a Pandora.

5"-7" screens?

Does anyone know of a good place to get larger screens? Well, 5"-7". I remember reading on here once and someone posted a link to a site that just sold screens. I'm not going to use it to hack a system per say, I'm building a small computer with a beagleboard and would like a touch screen. This was ...

Is everything clearly marked on the board? Also, do you know where there is a schematic for the genesis and sms chips used in them?

Gutting a Nomad

I have an old Nomad that has been broken for years, and the screen is scratched badly, but the case is in excellent shape. I was thinking of getting one of those Genesis-on-a-chip things and switching the guts out. I haven't gotten it open yet, it has a weird security screw, so I'm looking into that ...

Cutting down FB 2.0?

The FB 2.0 is an awkward size, but can any of that be cut off and redone, kinda like what Ben did with the controler board in the Phoenix? At the very least you can put the cartridge slot wherever you want and it's a lot thinner than an original, and I would suspect it uses less power. I'm pretty ...

I hope that gp32z has enough units for all the preorders. I think this handheld will be huge on the home-brew scene.

Thanx,
