Post by soxinrevin »

Name is still under construction but MES stands for Mobile Entertainment System
This system uses
• A Retrocon
• A hip gear screen pad
• Tact switches
• And a ton of electrical tape

thats so cool that you fit it all in the hipgear case
nice portable
but you should use 4 AAs instead of a 9v so it will last 100 times longer
does it play NES carts?

I got to tell you it was not as easy as it looks to fit all of it in a hip gear case I hd to rewire everything on the NOAC Motherboard and even cut it in some spots It took me though only about 3 weeks of little work periods (about 30 mins each)
And Yes It playes nes carts, but not famicom.

I think you should do like Ben Heckendorn and hollow out some buttons and glue them over the tact switches. That would be really neat!
Emulation isn't accurate. There is no substitute for real hardware!
