It really is the easy way out

Includes but not limited to: SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Gear and I guess the Virtual Boy.

Post by GamingRev »

Why not, instead of building a NESp, just build a SNESp? The Snesp is WAY easier (or so I hear) and put on the Super 8 adaptor, you have a NESp? You can play both systems on it? So why do you still build a NESp?

Because the Super 8 is hard to find, or because we can make smaller NESes with the NOAC, possibly.

Because some people prefer the NES to SNES and might not want to waste money on an SNES... Plus, the Super 8 adds extra size to the portable...

I know I'm not a Mod, and I will probably be typed at again for saying this, this is the most useless of all threads... All it is is (no offense, some may find this offensive) another thread to tell us "7h1$ $y$73m pwns j00 14m3r!" And we really don't need these kinds of threads...

The SNES is harder to find, and the Super 8 is an NOAC anyway.
And the SNES mobo is WAY bigger than an NOAC-based NES.

The SNES (standard) motherboard is about the same size as the NES motherboard. As for finding a SNES... it won't be as easy as an NES but their still out there, not the same for the Super8.

I will say this that all the Super8 and Tristar do is have the NOAC or SNES A/V piped to the SNES/N64 A/V pins on the cart slot. You can see if it's a possiblity in modding.

And I'm going to say this we don't have fanboys come into other forums and say that that system sucks. People know better and act accordingly.

Well fanboy it is late and i have a headache so... Seriously dude, lay off the. "This Thread is Lame" crap. Forums are where people gather to voice their oppinion and learn new things. Its not a place where mod.s decide what is a good question and what isnt. Some mod might find a post irelivent if he is building a nesp and some guy askes why his rgb signal is too weak on his n64. Yes there are always threads like "where can i find the information that is located in the sticky" even i'm guilty of that but just because it doesnt apply to you doesnt mean its a dumb question. so...
Back to the question, Yeah even if you get a mini snes its still not as small as some of the noacs out there. Its all about making it portable, not practical. lol. yeah it is late.

Those batteries are amazing. However, for everything I'd need from there it'd cost $100 (CAD). 2 3.7V, 2 protection circuits, and a charger, shipping to Canada.

You don't NEED them, but I prefer to have one per battery, to protect the individual batteries vs. the pack as a whole.

You could have a pack that goes down to 6 volts, and one battery is at 2 and the other is at full charge. Ya see what I'm saying?

So you really spent $100 on just batteries? It better be one hell of a portable. Please get pictures soon. I'm dying over here!
