Nintendo NES
« on: March 09, 2009, 01:22:36 AM »

Hey, I scored a free NES system and games a few months ago.  Wondering what projects you have seen or know that are possible.  I especially like was Casper Electronics did with it, but I prefer something more to do with audio than video.  Any ideas?  I'm also open to chiptune composition, although I have no clue when I'll have time to compose, hah.

Anyways, this is just a general NES bending thread, for whatever the project may be.  Want to show what you got?  Have a video to link?

That site is the really amazing work of Phil Stearns.  Last I knew, a couple of people have tried to duplicate that circuit and the success to failure ratio has been about 50/50.

They are pretty fun, though, just to make video glitches.  And the glitches will be different for every game you use.  For instance, I bent mine with Mighty Bomb Jack in there, so the glitches, in my opinion, look best with that game but I get an entirely different palate when I run something dumb like Faxanadu or Amagon.

So yeah.  There's a few unpopular Nintendo games.

50/50?  I hardly feel confident trying to succeed at such a project then.  I guess my NES and games are gonna sit around a little longer until I find my skill level and a project idea meet head-on -- either I gain some skills, or another, more attainable application comes to mind.

Or you could just play Final Fantasy on it.

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.

I don't like NES games.  My favorite is SNES.
