Hey guys I thought it'd be a cool idea to start a thread showing off your custom NES consoles. I bring you Nintendo Gaiden! I took Zoomer's advice and cleaned up the connector as well as everything else. I had that vinyl Ninja Gaiden sticker for months and now I've found a use for it!

Show off yours!

Hah, cool man

I have a custom painted NES and SNES, but I did not do them myself - so guess they don't count?

No. I bought it from a fellow brony here SnifitDude. But he said he didn't customize either.  He bought it the same reason why I bought from him.  It has AVGN Signature on it.

I've been flirting with the idea of getting a custom NES for a while now... but that desire is always halted with preferring to throw that money toward games instead.

Wow some pretty sick (awesome) systems here!  Here's mine:





AV famicom with a precision socket installed where the ppu used to be.  Has the chip swapped out that lets the system use a powerpak on the rgb setup (actually the rgb playchoice boards have this version of the chip too). This's my latest version of the av famicom kit from japan featuring an upgraded video encoder from the encoder that comes with the kit.  The kit comes with a cxa1645 but I upgraded it to a cxa2075 because it produces a noticably sharper image.  This system outputs true rgb, true s-video, and pseudo stereo sound through the snes style multi av port on the back.  I also installed a switch that lets you switch the system between default system audio and the pseudo stereo sound.  The sound circuit in this system sounds much better than all the other easy to build nes sound mods I found on the net.  Also this sound circuit properly mixes in the audio from famicom carts that have upgraded audio chips where other audio circuits were only designed for nes games so upgraded audio chips had the volume all messed up with the other circuits.

It is for most people.  That's why most people (who can afford it) pay me to build it for them.

My phone doesn't justify the colour of this thing, it's strawberry icecream pink.

Are you emailing Robman or the other guy? Both seem like they'd be pretty cool; sucks to hear he isn't responding.

  So I just met a guy from church when I was Home Teaching (once a month visiting a few assigned families in the congregation to see how things are going, it's a Mormon thing).  We were discussing video games and he told me that when he was a kid, he saved up money for a year to buy an NES but shortly thereafter his cousin's house burned down and his mom encouraged him to donate his NES to his cousin, which he did.

  In all the time since, every time he thought about buying another NES, he thought, "But I already have one." Years later, he approached his cousin about getting his NES back, but his cousin repeatedly refused and in the passing years they became enstranged. My friend, Alan, said that he'd always wanted to get another NES because he had never completed the original Super Mario Bros. game but he just never got around to it. He mentioned that he had the Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo cartridge.
 
  I decided to check out Craigslist to see if there was any NES consoles for sale, and right away I found a posting for the perfect package! It was the original NES with the power cord and cable cord, two controllers, Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge and the light gun! Everything he had mentioned and for only $20! Needless to say, I went out that day and got it.

  The first thing I noticed was that the system and one of the controllers was very yellowed.  I didn't want to give it to him in that state so I posted in NintendoAge's Help forum and was directed to retr0brite. I thought it would be nice to remove the yellow but I didn't want to have to go out and buy all the supplies for the project. Instead I decided to paint the console.

  This idea (shown below) came almost immediately, with the vented stripe on the right being the inspiration for the design.  I spent another $10 on supplies but the results are well worth it.  I coated each piece of plastic with two coats of the color and two coats of a clear gloss spray. Soon after working on the console I decided to also paint the controllers and the design came easily.  I thought the yellow button at the bottom of the strap was a nice touch and then after painting it all, I felt I was still missing something. I ended up adding the M symbol at the end, which was done with white nail polish with my wife actually helping touch it up because it looked really sloppy when I did it. Also, while I had the console open, I went ahead and enhanced the connectors in the 72-pin slot so that the game reads every time.

  I'm going Home Teaching again tomorrow and I've packaged all this up in bubble wrap and packing peanuts inside a package addressed to my friend. The return address is Shigeru Miyamoto, 4600 150th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052 (hint: Mario's creator and Nintendo of America Headquarters). I'm super excited to give this one of a kind system and I think I enjoyed this much more making it for someone else rather than just for me.
