The NES is probably easier. I think the SNES is not extremely difficult, either.

If that's what you have and would like to do, then yes.

No way, two different cart slots. Atari made some of their computers backwards compatible, but the Wii is nintendo's first to have that.

I think the Gamecube's GBA Player wouldd like a moan too and Pokemon Stadium for the N64, could play pokemon Red and Yellow if i'm not mistaken and technically the Snes was too with the Gameboy Player cart :lol:

And if you're complaining they're all portable games, the N64 had the Trident 64 I think, but whatever it's name was it could play NES games.

The Superjoys are the easiest. They're dirt cheap, and run on a pretty wide input voltage range.

I bring justice to its avoiders, and pain to its resistors.

Just use my easy solution: put a propane torch to it

That actually works very well if you are somewhat careful with the torch. You can have it desoldered in a matter of seconds. This is the method that I usually use for that type of job.

I just used my method about an hour ago to remove the expansion port and some other things from my NES board.
