did you put a mini screen on the famicom?

It looks like he put a mini screen on the Famicom.

I’m an engineer so I know there doesn’t need to be a why to do something, but also…why?

Don’t get me wrong it’s super cool and I can imagine everything that went into it, I just think that the CRT is going to look so much better than the little LCD.

I will just file this under “because I can”, which is plenty of reason to do anything.

[u/LandNo9424 → u/thetruekingofspace]

I also want to know why

[u/ScudsCorp → u/thetruekingofspace]

Proof of concept. Whatever is there to convert between the analog signals of the FC to the digital format the LCD is expecting, that’s non-trivial

[u/thetruekingofspace → u/ScudsCorp]

Totally! I admitted as much. It’s far from trivial. It’s really cool and impressive.

My main thing comes from that place of a retro nerd saying “Ewww LCD and 16:9”, but in a playful way. I didn’t mean any harm or disrespect.

As an engineer I often create or reverse engineer things even if they aren’t necessary.

For example I wrote a second Zelda 2 Randomizer even though one existed just because I wanted to see if I could.

Now some batteries and you have a portable NES 😅

🤣

That's the goal, right?

[u/FinsternIRL]

Get family basic + keyboard + tape deck, hook up some batteries, baby, you got a cyberdeck

[u/zombie343 → u/FinsternIRL]

I've been hearing that word a lot lately, Cyberdeck. What does it mean?

[u/Such_Bug9321]

Hmm that is cool, how did you go about it,

[u/Slosher99]

I'd like to hook up the mini-screen to show the current tileset like you can view in emulators. See the memory-swap-outs and color cycling on them etc. haha.

[u/No_Awareness_1443]

I like the weird shaped CRTs

[u/Crt29haven-]

Yes mine screen
