Here is an example of a really well done mod. If I'm allowed to be bold, mine will be better. This is the quality I am aiming for though.

Awesome.

We whose mods are about to be trumped, SALUTE YOU!

for your keyboard you could fabricate the outter casing, and use ErgoDex DX1 keyboard to get the layout you want for key and type structure.

That is far too cool for me to not know about it. That keyboard rocks.

You can find 8 NES controlls for your keyboard on ebay. There's wholesale lots of broken consoles there. Just spend some time and 30 bucks and you have enough parts to make a working NES.

I've been bidding on ebay. I've got some on the way, but I will still need to get a few more.

since nintendo lost its right to be the sole provider for the NES console, you can actually buy brand new systems with added techn ology, and slimer design...

wow. I want one of those Generation Nex's. Finaly something to replace my long lost NES.

But I really don't see the point of wireless.


btw, Stilgar good luck with the level of quality you are shooting for, it won't come easily . But with patience and carefull cuts it will come.

[d_stilgar]

Ok. I have a few things to update after a long time of this project sitting in a box. The controllers came that I got from ebay, but I still need four more.

As far as the Generation NEX machine goes, I've read bad reviews. They are overhyped.

Last thing is an odd thing, I looked through the worklogs trying to find this thread, but with no luck. I then used the search function and found it. Does the forum do this to keep dead threads from coming back?

Oh cool. So how are you gonna mod the controllers so the plug in via USB? Even if you do wire them up you will need some drivers to get them working.
