[lovablechevy] loves her Retro Duo console, especially since it takes up less space than the NES and SNES it has replaced. There’s a small problem though: the Retro Duo isn’t 100% compatible with her old Nintendo cartridges. Battletoads is a deal breaker for her, so she built Nintenduo (http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=44383), an NES/SNES console that uses all original Nintendo hardware.
The Queen of Bondo began her project with a top-loading NES and the smaller revision of the SNES. There’s a Photobucket gallery (http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/gg107/sharonrenees/nintenduo%20-%20tssap/) showing the innards lovingly placed in their new plastic home.
Not only can [lovablechevy] play classics like Paperboy, Donkey Kong Country, and the Super Mario RPG that are incompatable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro_Duo) with the Retro Duo, all the accessories like the Zapper and Power Pad now work.
The finished build is very small; not much bigger than an SNES 2, and is nearly dwarfed by the gigantic NES cartridges. She posted a video of herself trying not to shoot the stupid Duck Hunt dog with her Nintenduo. Check it out after the break.
