Last year I posted a doctored pict of the SNES PowerPak for April 1, bit different this time.  Here is an unedited pict of all the proto boards on my desk right now but I won't say what they are yet

Ooh, is the thing with the USB cable a no-solder CopyNES?

Then is it a fake, or what else could something with a cartridge slot, pin connector, and USB cable possibly be good for?

A USB-supported Game Genie?

Nothing in that pict is fake, not really a CopyNES but could do some of the functions. Main function isn't cart dumping tho. Unfortunately many of the functions like the debugger in CopyNES can't be done without removing the CPU.

I can probably manage that on my own.

It's like a pack of NES Skittles where all of the boards are the colors of the rainbow.

So is the thing he's working on is a multi-non-NES-system emulator for the NES? Neat. I'll take six.

I'm seeing something that looks like a SNES PowerPak in there (at the center of the pic), as well as something that looks like a Famicom-to-NES converter (without the 60-pin connector on the one end; at the right of the pic)... I'm also seeing a NES cart LED test PCB, lower left...and what looks like a USB CopyNES prototype at the top. All guesses, btw .

My Guesses for what is on your floor

very bottom left - christmas cart 2009 proto
above the christmas cart proto (left) - some SNES proto
above the christmas cart proto (right) - board with sealie on it, so it has got to be one you made up
red board in the middle - SNES Power Pak
red board on the upper left - unknown NES proto you built
green board upper left (next to the red board) - blank SNES board
puke green board on top with red trace wire ( appears to run into two/three other boards) -  SNES Campus Challenge?


I know what the USB thing is, so I won't say - the other stuff I have no clue.

Also, If I had to guess what is on your desk I'd say a power bar.

Pimp my motherboard!

Following on the topic, anyone have good suggestions how to display boards like that? I usually have 3-4 revisions per product, would like them laid out next to each other so the case/box would have to be ~5"x20". Thought of shadow boxes (expensive, pretty deep) or acrylic cases (way deep, can't secure boards). Should I contact VGA?

^^^ They couldn't do anything for you that would be cheaper than a shadow box. Just go to Michael's and see what kinds of boxes and display cases they have.

Is the USB thing some sort of adapter for online play?
