before i buy one of these things, i wanted to ask the community here if it would be possible to connect the family basic keyboard for the famicom to a nintendo entertainment system, either by connecting it through the first and second player controller ports or by modifying the expansion port on the bottom.
i've checked out the nesdev wiki page (along with a few other resources about the keyboard) and i feel like i understand how to write the code to read the button presses of the keyboard. i just wanted verification from someone smarter than me that this was a possibility before i dropped a bunch of cash on one of these keyboards.
if this ends up working out, i will post a full picture/video tutorial on how to mod the keyboard and nintendo to work together along with some example code for reading the button presses.
thanks!
