Throwback project from 2005 !!
I brought my old NES back to life by turning it into a giant handheld console, just like a Gameboy. It took a lot of work to fit everything into a small case that I built myself out of Lexan. I used a cheap controller with turbo buttons and a screen from a PlayStation 1. I even managed to squeeze in a rechargeable battery that lasts for over 3 hours!
The hardest part was making sure everything fit together and worked properly without changing the way the NES played games. I wanted to keep the original sound and feel, and I didn't want to use one of those imitation chips. In the end, it turned out a little heavy, but it's comfortable to hold and definitely worth the effort!
