Inside a nes mini clone

Screenshot-20210529-174407-Messenger.jpg
I found one of those NES clone 620 games for $10 at a thrift store, my curiosities got to me knowing it would be crap I bought it for the luls. When I got it home I expected there to be a few duplicate ROMs and I was right. 6 copies of contra and mushy Mario games you've never heard. But honestly it played pretty decent for what it was. Just disappointed there was no SD card port but whatever 10 bucks is 10 bucks. I also know there are many different better ways for a good NES emulator but still wanted to grab it.

Opening it was pretty much what I expected nothing but a bunch of space and a dodgy chip on board housing the games. Still had a bit of fun tearing it down within 10 minutes.

NES on a Chip, I have lost count of the number of "consoles" I've had over the years that's just been this. Kinda disappointed it wasn't a bit smaller in all honesty

Technically the NES chip is the little gray thing in the middle, everything else is fluff.

You can make the whole thing much smaller but the manufacture gets more fiddly and complicated and more expensive.

The other board is basically for power and av out, it also came with a dodgy av to HDMI scaler that didn't work. I don't know if you could solder other components to the chip it's self I'm sure theirs some protection caps and what not on the 2nd board that makes it safer for use. It would be a fun project to maybe fit a pi zero or something in the case.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
