@flyingtomahawk @obsidianspider i thought i would show you guys my finally finished famwiicom. i even modified the original controllers to be wii classic controllers with circuit boards from raphnet-tech.
-
Haha! Awesome!
Well done!
Love the controllers. -
@edmaul69 Oh wow! That's awesome. How did you go about modding the Wii controllers? Paint? Custom shells? Were the decals something already available or do you have a source on die cut brushed gold stickers?
-
I love you guys. Crazy stuff like always :D
-
@obsidianspider the brushed gold skin was purchased off of amazon. The black and red was created by swapping parts from black and red wiimotes. The bottom, the sd card door and buttons were taken from a red wii. You can only see a little bit of it from the first pic but on the other side you can see it completely across that the bottom is red. I want to buy a broken black wii so i can put on black rubber feet to replace the red ones. Just another stupid thing for me to try to make it more like the original famicom.
-
@edmaul69 It's really well done. What are you using for the FDS RAM Adapter? Does it actually do anything?
-
@obsidianspider my wii is modded. That is the 1tb hard drive i use on it. If i didnt have a hard drive I probably would have bought an actual adapter and modded it. Yeah i know that would make some people cringe. So i guess it could be called the famicom “hard” disk system.
-
@edmaul69 Nice. I need to look into adding a hard drive to my Wii. I soft modded it to add the homebrew channel a few years ago, but I understand things have come along quite a way in the last few years.

I was going over some of my bookmarked youtube videos and found the Evo Moment 37
An epic moment in game history for sure.And he did it again here
Even though he lost that fight he was capable to do the same thing again. Crazy.
One thing is sure it does motivate to dig out SF3 again and start get rid of the old dust on the arcade stick. -
@flyingtomahawk
I've never been into watching other people play games competitively but that was Impressive. -
It’s not done just yet, but I got some testing in on a new project today that you guys may like.
-
@obsidianspider looks nice. Whered the case come from?
-
Ha awesome! Vertical handheld!
Where did you get that? -
The case was 3D printed by a friend. There’s some controversy over the design and it was pulled from Thingiverse. When it’s done it should look like this. Unlike the NES Cart, this is not a low budget build.

Why? Didn't look like anything I remember. Resemble an old handheld too much or something?
-
@classicgmr Something like that
-
@obsidianspider soooo nice! I can’t wait to see the icon for that in your signature. 😜
-
@obsidianspider that is awesome! I still have my space invaders one. Not sure what happened to my ms pacman one though.

They messed up! They had one job to do and they bring us this ugly abomination.
The game selection sucks too. Who needs 4-5 different KOF games? Golf? Football Frenzy? Wtf?And look at that horrible design? The color selection is a nightmare to look at. Even obsidianspider could do a far better job.
If they do a mini arcade design then at least use the red MVS as template. Or they could have simply build a mini AES console.

@flyingtomahawk I partly agree with you. Note, there will be an international version available with blue coloring and 14 different games. The site I link is German, but that does not matter. You can see full list of international and regular version: https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/neo-geo-mini-retro-konsole-erscheint-im-sommer-in-japan-spiele-lineup-bekannt,3330796.html
