Hmmm, what about hooking up a bluetooth spp module to transfer data?

They can be had for about $6:

These things are pretty easy to interface with AVRs, I've used them for a few of my projects.

I have a 50hz/60hz switch in my SNES just for play this game on my NTSC console.

I think comparing the NES to the C64 would be more fitting. But seeing as how the C64 is basically a console with a keyboard and some IO chips added. I know the Amiga was originally suppose to be a game console too, but again, commodore turned it into a computer... Didn't the C64 start out as a game...

Yikes, only 56?!
I certainly hope I make it past 56, otherwise my life is more than half over.

RIP.

On another note, this also explains why most LCD TVs make the NES graphics look like ass: They're trying to deinterlace a progressive signal.

Ah! This explains why a scan doubler makes my NES look so much better on my LCD screen.

With a little searching, I found a library for the AVR to use an SDCard with FAT,

Just need the FDS drive emulation now...

A while ago I started a project to use USB instead of a parallel port to to communicated with the FDS adapter/drive. I was going to use an AVR. Then later I found the V-USB library, and also when I moved, I lost a hard drive with some of the code on it... After I discovered that the PowerPak can pla...

When it rains, it pours....

I had a drive die on me and I lost everything. So I said, that'll never happen again, and I always have a mirrored RAID setup now.

I've had my drive die twice since I have mirroring, but thankfully, I just swap in another one and I'm back up.

I recommend mirroring or dropbox for critical data.

I never thought that would be compatible without wiring all kinds of connections to the Expansion port. There's nothing special about the FDS. It only uses the cartridge connector on the Famicom. If you want the FDS sound channel you can do some internal soldering on the NES. I solved the extra FDS...

I extended mine so I could use the FDS adapter: http://54.org/sage/condev/FC_NES_Conv/FC_NES_Conv%20001.jpg http://54.org/sage/condev/FC_NES_Conv/FC_NES_Conv%20002.jpg http://54.org/sage/condev/FC_NES_Conv/FC_NES_Conv%20009.jpg http://54.org/sage/condev/FC_NES_Conv/FC_NES_Conv%20003.jpg http://54.or...

Off topic, but the post about plugging in carts while a system was on... I once plugged in a cartridge into a Commodore 128 while it was on. After removing the cartridge and powering off and on typing on the keyboard would print out the incorrect characters that corresponded to the keys. (Eg, typing...

I've been looking around for a while, and haven't had much luck. I guess most of them have been picked up by collectors.

How rare are these things?
And how much do they usually go for?

Unless you need the extra RAM for your game, why not use a serial EEPROM like some Genesis games?
Then you can ditch the battery.

How about a Game Genie BIOS hack that removes the sound fx?
