NESp from book with changes (56k Warning)

Post by nintendoguy » Sun Aug 09, 2009 2:41 pm

A few weeks ago i got ben's book, and it was awesome, so i decided to build a NESp. i hand built the case with my grandpa's skill saw, and it came out great. i do not have the screen yet, but every thing else is wired. i added a player 1 port, a/v out and a charge jack.

Aluminum Duct tape?

Great job! I like the blue tape on the foam spacer. A/V out is a great addition to the design.

It is just standard duct tape. the best thing after hot glue. The a/v out was not hard to add, but i have 2 jacks. 1 for video out and 1 for headphone/audio out. it was fun to figure it out.
