I pressume you mean the Power Player thing then.

That would make more sense. I just thought you were upset that Nintendo was pulling pirated games and I didn't see the relevance.

UPDATE:

My PalPal account finally got all set up and finished, so I payed the Power Player people, and they should ship it soon.
I have a possible screen for the unit, and it has video out, so I might get 2 and have a 2nd player unit with it's own screen. I am bidding on the first of a possible 2 tonight so I will update again later.

Best of luck on the auctions.

So... the screen that I ordered came, it looks like it will be difficult to hook up to standard RCA video, but I'll get it figured out with pinouts or some other tutorial online. The power player is still not here, but it has been paid for. I'm not going to mess wiht the screen until the power player shows up, incase it never does, and I ruin the screen for normal use.

I tried a few games in the cart slot of the Power Player through my adapter with no result. I can see the PP trying to load the cart, but nothing else happens. I have ordered 2 Japanese famicom carts to test out the Power Player's cart slot with actual jap carts. I am looking for a pinout for the LCD I have, but I found a pinout for the NES on a chip, so I'm halfway there.

More updates to come in a few days...

I got the first of 3 Jap Carts that I ordered today. Super Mario Bros 3. It worked! and I think I have figured out a way to get the screen to work standalone. Although because of my schedule re-arange, I will start work on putting the unit to the screen next Saturday.

Awesome...I wonder why the adapter didn't work as well.

upon furthur investigation, I got SMB3 US to work on the Power Player as well. This truly is an historic moment for the NES2GO! Construction begins saturday!!

Update?

[PX] Nebuchadnezzar · Post by **[PX] Nebuchadnezzar** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 7:54 am

construction has been delayed because.... I'm very lazy

I hope to one day finish it up, the main stumbling block is battery power, I need to find strong, but small and cheap batteries. I'm thinking RC car replacements. The other thing is a case to put it all in. Getting it to work is relatively easy, but making it look good and actually be portable is another.

In short, the concept is there, the application is difficult.

Aight, just wondering. I started the Video Card sticky, tidied up the Overclocking one, and saw yours. Thought I'd at least ask what with all the time that had passed.

understandable... keeping it sticky reminds me that it exists :lol:
