console combinations?

Post by metal_mattt »

I am very interested in making something that combines multiple console into one case (ie: nes, snes, n64, psx) but i cannot find anything on google, except for all the nintendo systems in a nice wooden box.
Putting multiple system into a pc case , like the yoshi box, is not a bad idea but it is too bulky.


Does anybody have any links to something like this?

Also i would like to connect on controller to all my systems, there are converters on lik-sang.com that connect psx controllers to nes, snes, or sega, but i dont to have to buy them, is there anyway to make my own?

I think I saw something like that once. Maybe it was made of legos. I can't remember. But It'll be bulky no matter what though. I'd say you're better off getting something like a modded XBOX and putting a whole bunch of emulators on it.

You want to check out The Screen Savers. Yoshi built a multi console/PC box he called the Y-Boxx. I had like PS2, GameCube, PC, Xbox and maybe another console or two. The second one he built had a cart built around it to make it more mobile and a projector.

Lik-Sang has a bunch of adapters for using playstation controllers on classic systems like NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, NeoGeo, and TG-16. I gueess you could wire these up together and it would work. I think... here's the link to Lik-Sang:

Doh, we're just not paying attention today, are we? Sometimes I'm in a hurry and tend to skim posts. Sorry.

I'm planning on doing this... sort of. But only with an NES/Famicom combined with a Genesis/Master System. And there will be some small sacrifices (not all SMS games are compatible with Genesis, not all NES games are compatible with the NOAC I'm using). But in general, I think it'll be neat. I want to add a controller decoder-encoder so I can use Genesis controllers for both systems as well, I think, but then I'd lose Zapper support...
