NES Retro Gaming PC (Video): Modder Merges Microsoft and Nintendo Tech

Windows XP on your Nintendo Entertainment System? What if it meant you could play all of your favorite games without ever having to blow into the ass end of a cartridge ever again? Now we’re talking!

Using an Intel mini-ITX mobo, modder cbutters was able to create a retro console that you can easily plug into a TV and boot up to play NES, SNES, and even N64 games. While this bad boy looks like a classic NES on the outside, the build log reveals the true power under the hood.

    It does look pretty sweet. Now if only someone could do the same with Sega so we can all play the Final Fantasy Versus port for the SMS.

    Actually, my local GameStation has a Master System for a fiver in the window. It’s probably gone now, but it was a good deal for whoever got it. Master Systems aren’t really that hard to come by, I’ve found. SNES and NES, however, are nowhere to be found.

    Sam,

    If you can find me a SMS modded with FF Versus loaded on it I will pay you a King’s ransom for it.
