On Yobos and Power Gamesâ€¦

Just a few questions about themâ€¦

First, does the Yobo support a light gun? If not, it's out. Don't recommend it to me for the rest of the topic ( <3 duck huntâ€¦).

Second, exactly how much of the Power Games IS wireless? It appears to only have one wireless controller, which wouldn't quite work for my purposesâ€¦

Third (and this is somewhat unrelated to Yobos and NES clones), is it possible to decode the signal from any current controller WITHOUT using a computer? (PICs are ok, just not a computerâ€¦)

Fourth, should #3 fail, are there any wireless NES controllers (besides the expensive and large 2.4 GHz ones that came out a while back)? IR is ok for this purpose, but the receivers cannot be bigger than sayâ€¦a Yobo board.

Light gun+Yobo=ok. But if you're making a portable, you can forget it anyways, because light gun games don't work after portablization.

it would still work if you used AV out, because the only reason it would not work on a portable is because no working on LCds.

I should also make this known: this project is not a conventional portable. It will plug into TVs for AV, but the controllers must be wireless in one way or another (not going into details at the moment, but can it be understood?). This means regardless of whether or not there are wireless controllers I can use, I still need to develop a wireless zapper.

As long as the screen is not LCD, go with a yobo, then

Yep. Still need IR controllers though, especially an IR light gun if possible, though I can make this (given time and the internet)â€¦

Hmmâ€¦might just go with 2.4 GHz wireless tooâ€¦

Ahâ€¦screw it. Anything with SMALL receivers will work. As for the light gun, I'll see what I can doâ€¦

I am definitely looking foward to it.

So basically you are making a... portable console sort of?

Kind of. I don't want to go into detail on it until I'm finished (subject to change, saying more than it will be). I did that on my N64p, which is yet unfinished, and I don't want to make anything final. Just know this: should it turn out the way I want, it will be an amazing thing to see. Something that hasn't been done this way beforeâ€¦
