Title: Now that I managed to get my NES working...
Post by: musica.cards on December 04, 2010, 01:02:02 AM
How can I run homebrew games?

Also, I want to figure out how to connect the Player 2 controller to the Internet  >_<'

Also, what would I have to do to get NES A/V output onto my laptop, and thus be able to stream live gameplay footage?

Why not just emulate NES games on your PC. I feel like that might be cheaper

Cheaper than what? It's not the same playing NES on the computer baddood;

Cheaper than setting up A/V cables to your PC

That doesn't stop me from playing my games. I'm more concerned about being able to play homebrew games.

I have an SD card, but why does that matter?

It's incredibly easy to run homebrew on your Wii to play NES and SNES games along with several others.

But I already have an NES, so why would I want to do that? baddood;

For the novelty of it? Plus having the full library of the better part of two decades of consoles at your disposal is pretty nice too wariodood;

I'm sure it is, but the Wii controller is notably different from the NES controller.

Not so much, just turn it sideways. Plus gamecube controller + Homebrewed Wii =  hocuspocus;

And that's cool, but what about NES homebrew? That's what I'm interested in right now baddood;
