      @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 :-)

                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.

                    @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

                      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.

                          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.
