My first portable NES actually finished and working!

[alinktothenes]

Well I've been creeping this forum for a while now and a short time ago i decided i would join up and start making my first portable and here it is.

I used an original NES mobo, rf box, controller and cart slot for all of the internals as well as the original power and reset switches, the audio amp from a set of computer speakers and the speaker from one of those little hamburger amps for your iphone. I managed to pack it all into a zn40 case and it is tighter than Heck in there to be sure.

Couple of features i thought were nice to have is a player 2 port and av ports to plug into a tv for said 2 player action.

Its a bit bulky but after going through two other mobos and one other rf box, along with trial and error with different screen types as i have discovered that any of the modern 16:9 aspect ratio screens dont really work with the nes video output.... it is complete and satisfying.

Well let me know what you think. Thanks guys and gals.

The pictures are a bit small, but it looks good from what I can see.

oops that seems to be a serious oversight on my part... lets see if i can fix that.

EDIT: aaaaand lets try it now lol

 

[grossaffe]

ah, much better. How do the controls feel with them sunk into the case?

 

[alinktothenes]

Not bad actually, I tapered the edges of the case inwards so you have more room for movement and it actually plays quite nice, doesn't hinder gameplay at all.

Nice work, I like how you did the reset/power

Thanks I felt that it was necessary.
