I wonder if the RESET button on this new unit blows air on the imaginary cartridges to make the games work?
 
Something I don't get. I feel Nintendo is missing a huge market. While this NES thingamajiggy is very cool, why doesn't Nintendo make a standalone Virtual Console? All of their systems from Wii to Wii U and 3DS have a virtual console that lets customers purchase, download, and play titles from the classic console era. If they made one that did nothing but play older games, they'd print even more money than they are with the new Pokemon game.
 
Peasantry.


This. For the same $60 you can build something with every NES game ever. And on the same drive you can have all SNES, Sega, N64, Playstation, Gameboy, etc. if you really want.

Thats cool and everything, and I've read about building a raspberry pi, but what a pain the dick. Then you've got to file share the games (illegal) and set it up. Every emulator I've used NEVER has the same response or feel for the controls. Fuck that.

I'm lazy, I want to bring it home, set it up and play. I don't want to tinker with it and dick around with it. Those that do, more power to ya. That's badass. But it's not for everyone.

The Recalbox operating system is very easy to setup, the only configuration involves answering some yes and no questions and loading ROMs to the SD card into their respective folders. The control issue you describe would be related to the controllers themselves and not the software. Some controllers are built better than others, and you can even use authentic controllers if you get a USB adapter. The ones I use have the feel and responsiveness of original SNES controllers and run about $11 each. There really isn't anything that needs to be tinkered with, those that want to devote their life to tinkering use Retroarch, and even I don't mess with that :lol:

I went Retroarch. It took a bit to get right, but once it was it worked fine. I hadn't heard about Recalbox.

Recalbox and Retropie both use Retroarch as the back end, but most of the config is done for you. No hunting for cores or configuring each controller for every emulator.

Sorry, I used Retropie. It wasn't too bad, but being my first time I picked some stuff up along the way to help if I did it again. I think my biggest problem was figuring out how to get it to boot directly into Retropie and not have to start on the Raspbian home screen.

But what about the game ROM's? Don't you have to file share those?
