Since I now have the vs. Duck Hunt PPU, would anyone offer to mod an NES for me? I'd supply the NES and payment, of course. I hate doing such mods because I mess them up so terribly.

I see. I take it there's no fix for this too, yes?

Anyone wanna design a new PPU?

Veeery strange that the Powerpak doesn't work. That's just weird. Did he try it with a Game Genie? Heh heh. This is so newb-sounding, but what is color emphasis? Wait, isn't that what makes that one Jaleco game unplayable? Iirc, if this is the same issue, then this is only an issue for one American ...

Well, Tennis and Duck Hunt Vs. PPUs are compatible with NESes without whacked-out colors...I think just some blacks on the pallette are screwy and only on some rare games. Kyuusaku, were you refering to the PPUs that have completely whacked colors or did you mean the Duck Hunt and Tennis PPUs were o...

Your idea is not feasible because you can't disable the CPU's data output (in order for your device to replace the CPU's value with one from a LUT) without modifying the console. Even if you could, it'd be pointless since the RGB PPUs don't just have a mixed up palette, even the correct colors are ...

CopyNES and pretty much every parallel game copier device are completely hit and miss when it comes to what machines they will work with. I tested my copynes on 6 machines, and none worked. Worked fine on a buddy's machine, though. Same with my MGD1. Sometimes adding a card will work. For me, I tiri...

Sorry, brain fart here...what is the other MMC5 game? I can't remember. Anyway, Laser Invasion wouldn't be that bad to sacrifice for a MMC5 Gradius 2.

Hope NOA didn't get on his ass.

Sometimes if the 4 screws that hold that part down are too tight or too loose, it won't work. Chances are, they just need to be adjusted. Pretty easy job, really. Remove that part and see if it still works externally. Once you get a look at the mechanism of how it locks down and pops back up, you sh...

Why's that?

You can do the UUDDLRLRBA code at title screen to get 30 lives, however the game is still almost as hard because you restart back on each live (unlike in Life Force where this code makes the game significantly easier). About the status bar, it stays where it should, except when there are alot of sp...

You'll be waiting forever because it's not really plausible. Bunnyboy'll need to make a separate FDSPak.

Right, the idea is that he is making one of these, last I knew.

-Rob

That's what I thought.

Well, you don't have to stoop as low as a 486, but just about any Win 98 era machine will do. ISA parallel or onboard is reccomended, though. Laptops are not, because they are hit and miss with game devices of all kinds that use parallel.

You could certainly get the FC board and put it in a Gyromite style adapter and put it in a NES case with a fancy label.
