S-video...and COMPONENT modded NES 001?!

I saw something truly crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz7T5lWmGDE This guy has modded an NES Toaster to output not only S-video, but also friggin' component video! He does it by using a Play-Choice 10 PPU and then built a converter board. This is something I very much want to buy. Unfortunately...

Thanks guys! I really love this font. I want to use it in a new banner for my blog. Since I'm going to be updating the banner anyway, do you guys have any suggestions for what I should change the name to? Here's my blog. I review mostly retro games, post tutorials, editorials and occasionally, hacks...

Anyone good at pixelart? Help me finish this font from MM4!

Can someone here help me with a small project? When I was taking screenshots for my Megaman 4 review, I sort of fell in love with the font used for the "get weapon" screen. I've ripped every letter used by the font in the game, but it omits the lesser used letters of Q, X and Z. I want the...

So what I'm asking here is if someone could possibly combine these nsf files into a single master nsf whose tracks could be scrolled through using the Powerpak? Sorry if this is confusing, I'm not sure how else to explain it. You could do it by gluing the NSFs together with some wrapper code probab...

Trog cart in really rough shape - is it salvigable?

My local game store had a 50% off sale today and I picked up a number of super cheap NES games. Among them I picked up Trog, which didn't work when I tried it. I opened it and discovered why - the pins were in the worst shape I've ever seen any cartridge PCB be in. After cleaning with hydrogen perox...

Sorry guys, I guess maybe I wasn't very clear on what I'm asking, so I'll try again. I have found most .nsf files for various games are the game's entire soundtrack, from titlescreen to staff roll. These .nsf files contain the game's ENTIRE soundtrack. I have a few .nsf files that are just individua...

There is an NSF compiler?

Hi, I have a fairly simple question I hope someone can help with. Is there a program that can compile multiple NSF tracks into one NSF file? The powerpak is a great NSF player, but unless multiple tracks are compiled into one master track, you need to restart the powerpak when you want to play anoth...

These are good ideas. What about hacks? Anyone have some favorites? I plan on including links to .ips patches, so please provide links. I have a number of favorites myself, but I'm looking for broader opinions.

thanks for the reply. I know romhacking.net well, but I was hoping for a list of worthwhile hacks translations and homebrew to get people started. The more the better. I'll check out NESnake2. Any personal recommendations for hacks and translations?

this is all true. I'm not new to the Powerpak myself, I'm simply writing an article for those who are. Please read my initial post. Looking for unique homebrew, fan translations, or really good hacks and links to all of them. I want to create a list for people who get a Powerpak and have options oth...

Powerpak game suggestions?

Hey all. I recently wrote a review of the Retrozone Powerpak, and thought I should write a follow up article for first time buyers. You can read my review here. http://satoshimatrix.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/nes-power-pak-review/ Since top NES game lists are dime a dozen, I think I should narrow the ...
