  • That would be cool... in 2001. After emulation and such, I had more interest on emulating old and weird hardware such as the WonderSwan, Pokémon MIni and Neo Geo Pocket.

  • > Later revisions of the PPU did offer RGB output options but most NES and Famicom systems had the single pin output.

    Anyone have any insight on this? The article does not elaborate.

    I have a “New-style” NES. Do I have the “upgraded” PPU?

  • >Much that same as some people don’t like emulators because it isn’t as close to how real hardware plays.

    Modern hardware is powerful enough to emulate it perfectly. It doesn't just get close, so I do not think this is a complaint based off of reality.

  • The blog text talks about the review, but most of the review itself is only in the video. In case you were wondering.

  • This article is from Feb 2023.

    Pretty neat, but not something new.

  • Very cool. I live in Japan and see NES carts in all the second hand stores that are everywhere here. Very tempting but in the end I know I wouldn't play it. Whenever I go down a "weee let's try retro" path I lose interest after five minutes

  • I make these! Hi!

    Mouser (Crowd Supply) is backordered, but coincidentally I’m shipping units to them in two weeks!

    Also, RGB Generator coming soon (solderless RGB upgrade board that still uses the original PPU chip; like NESRGB but better, cheaper, and tiny)

  • In case anyone follows the review back to https://www.crowdsupply.com/tall-dog-electronics/tinynes - I've been waiting since the beginning of the year for an update on an order (despite an order ID and emailing multiple times).

    I don't think they still exist? Sounds like it used to be cool tech though.
