A demonstration video of the NES PC I built emulating original NES games and it's ability to interface with the original NES remotes (soldered directly into the parallel port header of the motherboard).

Specs:
Via C7 CPU @ 2Ghz
1GB DDR2 533 RAM
160GB SATA 3.0Gb/s HDD
Trendnet Bluetooth Adapter(for interface with the wiimote)
Encore 802.11n WiFi Adapter
A handful of cleverly placed silent 40mm fans

It can emulate near perfection: (Emulate means it can play games from these systems)

Atari
Turbografx 16
Gameboy
Gameboy Advance
NES
SNES
Nintendo 64
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis
Sega CD
Sega 32x
Sega Gamegear
Neo Geo
Most Arcade Machines
Playstation 1

You can plug in NES controllers and use them with any game, sync a wiimote(or 15) and use it as a gamepad or pointer mouse along with all the accessories (guitar hero guitar, nunchuck, classic controller, etc...) all very easily. Or just use the good old fashioned keyboard and mouse combo.

It can be hooked up to any TV or Monitor through either D-sub, S-video, or RCA.

Works great as a media pc hooked up to the family television.

Oh and the power led, power button, and reset button all work just as they should.

I built it to be shock resistant, child resistant, generally durable and long lasting, and upgradable.

I'm selling it on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330299566598

very nice, if that was my system i would have installed a front end like maximus arcade or something so you could just use the controller to pic the games and systems you want to play

@lilkuz2005 too lazy :) it was built to sale

[HiDeguild]

I'm looking into building one of these for myself soon; I'm going to sell some of my old consoles and consolidate everything. I did look at logic supply and their Via series mainboards but I'm not sure if I like the 1ghz processor or integrated video. Did you try using a pci video card or just stick to the integrated and if so how did it work out? Also, how did you go about affixing all the parts to the nes case?

[HousePlant87]

@HiDeguild go with an atom, via is last weeks news. I used a combo of epoxy, ind strength double sided tape, and I modified the mounts that were already there with a dremmel.

What's with the dark bar going across the emulation? Can you get emulators that don't have that flaw?

[HousePlant87]

@brwnsftblvr that's what happens when you film a tv with a low refresh rate, the human eye can't see that

[Rikitheshadow]

you have destroyed the english language in every possible way imaginable

[TheBloodyKnife1]

Nice man you are amazing !

[shadow444222]

Not cool man why in hell's name did you use vista.

[Umdlye]

really cool that the original controller sockets are actually connected to the motherboard. great job

[TanqLoqo]

OH !!...IT IS REAL....sweet.......m'boutta criiiii aahhh

[ColeSlawProductions]

You should call it the UNES! (Ultimate Nintendo Entertainment System)

[eraider60]

DUDE! THAT'S EPIC! :D

[tdmasta]

But whats the point on doing this?

Get a slim PC case with a similar (or better) hardware and ur set, emulate everything, and even play blu-ray movies, nes controllers can be plugged in the PC via adapters, but I also don't get why use NES controllers.

The only benefit (if possible) could be having a PC with the NES case.

one day someone will make one of those where you can pop in your orginal game carts, hold down start while in windows and the software will start the cart with the nes emulator....That'll be the true upgrade for the nes...That's what I hope for one day :(
