The Queen of Bondo is back again, this time with an adorably small NES portable (http://moddedbybacteria.freeforums.org/handynes-lovablechevy-s-nes2-portable-t2799.html), the HandyNES.
When last saw [lovablechevy], she had just finished up her build of a Nintenduo (http://hackaday.com/2011/10/26/nintenduo-stuffs-an-nes-and-snes-in-the-same-case/), a build that stuffed an NES and SNES into a single box. The Nintenduo was such a clean build it would be a crime to let her talents go to waste, so [Lovablechevy] finished up one of the smallest NES portables we’ve seen.
The build is based on a top-loading NES with a 3.5″ screen. [rekarp]‘s NES2 composite mod (http://longhornengineer.com/2011/07/19/nes-2-video-mod-schematic/) was used to get the NES and screen working together. Two LiIon batteries provide 3 hours of play time (with a low battery indicator (http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=38200), natch).
[lovablechevy] also included an AV out so she can connect her HandyNES to a larger CRT screen. Like our old Sega Nomad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Nomad), this allows for a little two-player action – player one using the HandyNES and player two using an extra controller. Support for the Zapper was also included after modding the Zapper connection to a USB port.
Check out the video walkthrough after the break. To prove that her build isn’t a clone, [lovablechevy] also include a video of herself playing Battletoads past the point where the clones crash. Excellent work from the Queen of Bondo.
