NES-PC (Nintendo case with a PC inside) booting up

June 12th, 2009 by admin

This is a video that switches between a handheld video camera and the TV-out of my NES-PC as it boots up and loads Mario Bros 3 on a NES emulator. Please note that the shots of the TV screen flicker a bit.

My modded PC has been built into the case of a NES console. It’s a small yet fully-functional desktop PC, which can be attached to a normal PC monitor. However, it really comes into its own as a unit sitting by your TV as a retro gaming unit. It includes TV out sockets to allow you to connect it straight in to your TV set, and even has one of the original front controller ports wired up to allow you to control mouse with an original NES controller. I use it to play NES roms through an emulator, and this video shows me booting up and loading Mario Bros 3.

I have it booting into Windows 98 since it’s a nice and lightweight operating system for the little machine, and I’ve modded the startup files to show the original Super Mario Bros menu screen as it loads :D

    You should install a front-end program that loads automatically when you turn on the PC. Then, using the controller you can scroll the games and start them that way.
