  • Question? Any thoughts on building a Clone NES system? Im pretty sure that in a few years all the replacement parts will go bye bye. So whats your take on building a Clone(CIC chipless ofcourse)

  • @oceanofdarkstars1 no need to clone the CIC as the NES works without them, the Famicom (Japan's NES) doesnt have one. Also, there have been NES clones for a LONG TIME!! however the NES uses a custom 6502 processor so some games run with issues. Years back there were these NES clones in a game controller. With some hacking and you can make a portable NES that played the 100 internal games and carts too. That fad has passed though, today we emulate.

  • @FoxxOTG You see I want to do that with the NES and SNES too, Hell Maybe Even Sega Too, I Have the systems just sitting there, and nobody is rich enough to own every game so I wouldnt mind one that will allow for external imput

  • @oceanofdarkstars1 check out the BenHeck Forums. I would firect link but youtube of course doesnt let you. I used to spend time there helping people out when I could. To be honest, a used hackable handheld like a NDS or PSP with emulators would be cheaper to deal with, and a lot sexier in the end. But if you want to build, GO FOR IT!!

  • i did exactly how you told me.now its a solid grey screen.what do i do now?

  • @fiddlerj1 clean your games and NES deck with some proper jewelry cleaner. This will remove oxidization buildup that cases bad electrical connection.

  • roflmao!!!! Do you see that...if you don't you're fucked!

  • @fiddlerj1 i have the same problem

  • Ah. The infamous 10NES content control chip.

  • @FoxxOTG To me there is nothing like an original. thats why If at all possible I wouldnt mind buying the individual chips and building the board myself if need be. I could just use a plain Chip programmer like ARD to add and remove system data onto the board. and tie in an SD slot in place of a 72pin cart reader Its not impossible. Just a total pain. Plus I can write the code out for a multi game loader and just set all raw roms to the SD. So anytime you start the system u pick and play
