Thought I'd update this post because play asia now has bluetooth to nes adapters available They look like this... https://s.pacn.ws/gallery/large/GA.03351.0003.jpg http://www.play-asia.com/play-asia-com-exclusive-8bitdo-retro-receiver-experience-the-nes-wirelessly/5f/747m9 RETRO RECEIVER FOR NES REL...

The controllers on 8bitdo are very nice but they won't work with real hardware as is. You'd need to have some kind of receiver that syncs with the bluetooth 8bitdo controller and translates that info to a real NES/SNES input. The circuit I listed that integrates with a Raspberry Pi (snesbot) should ...

Here's another way to do it with an Arduino. - The benefit of this technique is that you don't need to use level converters between the 4021/4021's and Arduino like you do with the Raspberry Pi. - The downside of this technique is you don't get all the linux open source bluetooth hardware compatibil...

Double thank you for all the clear feedback.

I thought on the NES power is converted to DC and lowered to 5 volts.

According to this link http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 28&t=17492 anywhere from 3.3 to 5.25 volts can power the RPi depending on how it's used.

True, the receiver likely would be larger than what you've created. The advantage of doing things this way is you can use ANY bluetooth controller, keyboard, mouse, etc with the receiver. Because of emulators there's all kinds of bluetooth hardware available. You could also likely hide the raspberry...

That is a great project but it's the one I was referring to when I said "Hacking up an existing controller" initially. - The advantage of using bluetooth is there's 1000's of controllers already available. Some are very high quality. - The advantage of using the raspberry pi is that it's c...

Wow thank you for the quick feedback.

Ahh, I didn't see that snesbot used external chips until I looked at the schematic. Anybody know why snesbot was designed this way? Instead of wiring from the Raspberry PI GPIO to the SNES input port directly and calculating everything in software? https://github.com/SonnyJim/snesbot/blob/master/sne...

For the last couple of weeks I've been thinking about how to do wireless controllers for NES and SNES. I've looked at Arduino, IR, RF, etc and I've seen a couple of projects that involved either hacking up an existing controller or creating new controller from the ground up. Instead of trying to rei...

Sorry I'm so new I just learned how to type.

Either way though it looks like bunnyboy wired up the Intellivision NOAC to a real 72 pin cartridge board then dumped the ROMs like you would with a real cart.

Here's how you do it with Intellivision games. I assume Atari roms would be done the same way... (check out bubbyboys posts)

My daughter is almost 3 and is just starting to get into video games.

She would love this game. It's not that hard, has all kinds of bright colors, lots of action, and fun music.

I'd pay $200 in a heartbeat.
