Spolier: It's a buggy piece of shit.

No! Not handheld! I want like this one which can be connected to big screen

 

[Foxi4]

I would love to see a mini N64 with my favorite games like Duke Nukem and Zelda but that will never happen
Nintendo still sells Zelda on 3DS/Virtual store for like 30 bucks! and they probably don't own the rights to Duke
Nukem

What you want already exists.

Basically a controller with TV hook-ups and a rewritable cartridge, courtesy of Nintendo and their shadow company iQue. I bet you could shove "unauthorised" games onto that cartridge very easily.

That's what Nintendo *should have done* with the Mini NES/Mini Famicom instead of bundling it with games and calling it a day. It would take no effort on their part to distribute games on an online store.

It can be connected to the big screen, it comes with a dock, that doesn't make it suck less.

 

[Issac]

it's an expansion port just like all the nintendo consoles had until Wii XD
There a lot of stuff to be plugged there, the most common was the disk system and the the guns I think ... there was even an tape recorder that could be used to save some stuff like custom trail on excitebike (and load in another console ) .
Pretty sure it only to make visual on the mini, like the cart port, I'm almost sure they not gonna open XD

Yeah, I'm well aware of that I just said I had a device called "Battle Box", that's used to transfer your baseball team to a friend's game (and some save function for a few other games).

it omes with a dock that looks like an MVS and has HDMI out and a replica controller:

But PSP (2000/3000/Go) emulate NeoGeo better than this thing - i believe it essentially a stripped down Android machine. it's so bad SNK Playmore cancelled the licensing agreement with the company that makes it.

I even wanted one of this since I heard about lol
it's really easy to add game son it? well, nice XD

it's so much pretty to be that bad lol

well it still have an usb port, if we are lucky we can do more than use it as energy input :v

you can try to emulate an analog display all you want. It will never display as good as on a 1990's tv.......

 

[TeamScriptKiddies]

The hardware for the NES is now public domain. However, software and intangible IPs remain the domain of the creator for (someone check this for me, I think it's 75?*) years after his/her death.

This means it is legal for anyone to replicate the exact hardware specifications of an NES, an NES controller, and NES cartridges, as well as make and sell unlicensed accessories for the hardware, but you still cannot distribute NES games or use the NES branding

Edit:
*I just checked this, and under normal circumstances it is 70 years, but because Nintendo is a company and its games are made for business the copyright protection on them will last between 95 and 120 years after the death of the creator/renewal of copyright

Correct, the games are still copywritten. The hardware however is a free for all .

Yet more proof that rose-tinted glasses are a better filter than any software or hardware solution.

I dont wear glass so your point is...... Im just stating a fact. all the scalers emulators use still aint cutting it.

 

[Dan-the-Rebirth]

Well i hope that you can easily hack that thing to play more games. I would love to play NES games on thatvsweet famicom

"Rose-tinted glasses" is a metaphor for nostalgia

I thought the same until I got myself a 1084S - the difference exists, and it's very tangible.

Games were developed with a CRT in mind and it shows. Sonic on MegaDrive / Genesis uses it for palette swapping tricks and transparency, for example. Play those games on an LCD and blammo. You lose those effects.

Also, dat 50hz smoothness.

That's if you're using the original console and just compare connecting it to different screens, but this is an emulator and it's taking those things into account and creating the effects before sending the feed to the monitor. I doubt this thing needs to resort to scanline chasing to create effects. I hope. I'm not sure. It's Nintendo we're talking about.

I've seen some screenshots and it seems to reproduce the CRT effects quite well. Not sure if it would help with those special cases I listed above - I was just defending CRTs, not CRT filters

it might be hackable. its probly some system on a chip. They might make a single chip thas has the SoC and the flash. In that case id say no. There is not any sd card slots/drives. nothing to do cept hardware hacks.
It might not even be encrypted since its not going to receive any update/games.
If there is a emmc then we could right up a sd card adaptor to dump/program it.

 

[RemixDeluxe]

Dont want to read through the whole thread but will the controllers have microphones just like the original?

 

[Dan-the-Rebirth]

Yes the mic is clearly visible in the video

 

[SG6000]

The mic holes in the 2nd controller are a dummy.

There's no mic.

 

[TotalInsanity4]

There's no mic.

Isn't the mic partially required for the FDS port of the original Legend of Zelda game?

 

[SG6000]

Yeah, it is. Not sure how that'll be tackled - and obviously I hope I've read this wrong.
