Powerbase converter NES to Gameboy color

[Roland]

Well i remember that the sega megadrive/genesis had such an adapter which made it possible to play master system games. Also one of nintendo consoles made it possible to play your gameboy games on the console. Is their such an adapter for your gameboy color to play nes games?

I've never heard of one. I don't think the architectures are any way compatible, and even if they were GBC's 160x144 resolution is less than half that of the NES. You couldn't see the screen at all.

It doesn't matter though. You can pick up portable off-brand NES handhelds if you're that determined to play NES carts on the go.

I think getting a hacked PSP is the best way to go for playing old consoles on the go. It takes work, but the end result is beautiful.

I'm personally going to get a Retro-Mini X. It has the capability to hook up to a TV, and comes with wireless controllers and a wireless zapper for TV play.

Cool thanx, i have a nes and a Gbc but i have the orginal mario bros on the GBC which look exactly like mario bro on nes so i thought is maybe possible to get such adapter. Is the nes 4 times bigger than Gbc? If this is true maybe it is possible to merge pixels.

There was also the Game Axe which was an actual commercial portable NES. Very pricey though and you need a converter since it's meant for Famicom. However, I'm not a fan of carrying around NES cartridges to play portable. Get a GBA flash cartridge and PocketNES or a portable console made for Homebrew. PSP is alright but I'm not a fan of no controller 2 option and it has more glitches than most NES emulators I've seen. Though with all NES emulator ports you make sacrifices. Maybe not with the ones made for homebrew though, I don't own one so I can't say. I just use my Laptop these days.

Hmm thats an idea make my nes console portable. Any idea how to this. Ok i'll check if i can find Game axe somewhere on ebay. So what do you think about ThirdMarioBro portable off-brand nes thing? Also i have 3 broken nes consoles which i can combine to make my own portable nes. Does anyone know where i can find like blue print of how to make a nes from scratch? I have worked with curcuit before. I know how to use logic chips like nand,or,and,not, tiners ,shift register and lcd digits.

There was a Master Gear Converter for the Sega Game Gear too, that lets you play Master System games on it--I've got one (got it from Funcoland years ago for like $6). It works great, but some of the tiny details in the games are hard to make out on the Game Gear screen.

This sound interesting. A friend of mine customized a NES a while back and put in red LED lights and a clear glass top. If you are good with electronics, here is the step by step schematics for making your own old school NES.

I've got one as well, but unfortunately, my Game Gear's been officially dead for a while. Still have got to grab a new one.

Oh yeah! Thanx this is going to be fun. I also checked for the gameboy schematics i found that too. So i will first try to make an adpater thing to play nes games on my gbc. Nes uses alot of TTL technology and diodes i'll have to check if i can upgrade to CMOS technology for more speed.
