@TRIXXY-DIXXY i like how you made thetray holder. On mine i hd glued on a plastic plate and cut off about an inch and a half of an nes cart and glued it onto the plastic plate. I would never had thought of making a tray.

Yeah I think that's the one I'm using. At first I found that games like Mario World wouldn't run smoothly no matter what settings I chose, then I went into the Retropie settings and updated the emulator and now the games run great.

I'm going on holiday soon so have bought myself a Pocket Gameboy and put a backlight in it. I'm trying to get my kids into playing 'proper' games instead of all this touch screen crap :-)

@TRIXXY-DIXXY im digging the backlit gameboy pocket.

Looks awesome! But the name Pi-NES ... lol sounds just wrong on so many levels. "Hey guys I have been playing for hours with my PiNES, do you want to COME over and play with my Pi-NES too?"

Seriously, I really like the way how you have installed the USB and HDMI connectors it looks very professional.

I'm about to start my own build, can you give me any info on the power and reset switch?

@zachstep Most folks use the mausberry switch which is what I used. http://mausberry-circuits.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/shutdown-circuit-use-your-own-switch

@zachstep

As c0nsole-guy said, you can wire the NES's original Power and Reset buttons to a Mausberry Switch, even the original power LED works.

When I get the chance I'll upload some pics with the Mausberry switch hooked up to my NES.

@TRIXXY-DIXXY Please do! The switch is where i'm stuck at with my build.

Mausberry has schematics on their website page.

The build looks great! I love the use of original holes in the NES case. I have a question about the power supply - I made a very similar PiNES and bought the exact same cable for power supply which you seem to use but so far I haven't found a supply that gives me good enough power through it!

I get the yellow lightning bolt when connecting through that, but when I connect with my original power supply there's no problems.
