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.

    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups

    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
