      Since Nintendo did not want my money for the NES or the SNES i just went ahead and used a Pi inside of a Clone, it turns out it was really easy to do the mod (see video).
      The NES clone looks really good!

      Also added video for working on/off buttons, one for USB connectors, and a bonus vide might show up on how you could put the original internals from the clone inside a controller.

      Now I got a ZNES instead, Zuper Neat Enterntainment Sytem. I do not think I would have used a NES or SNES nearly as much, I love my ZNES, using it mostly for Arcades right now, awesome!

      So thanks to Nintendo for not wanting my money, this is so much better! :)

      Hope someone finds the guides usefull, and hey I'm sorry for the Swenglish.

      First video, how to fit the Raspberry Pi

      Video nr 2, how to connect working on/off buttons.

      Nr, tips on how to add external USB...

      Extra: added the internals from the Clone to a controller.

      How to find this clone, search for [ nes 500 console ] at ebay or aliexpress.

        @zippiz you shouldnt ever duplicate threads. The mods will move it when they come across it.
