    Project: Raspberry PiNES

    I decided to dremel out the guts of the NES controller ports. First on to the other updates. My power adapter. This goes to the USB hub. My original NES controller converted to USB. This is the male to female USB wire connected to the front controller port. I haven't done the second...

    Project: Raspberry PiNES

    Two updates in one day, I'm on a roll. There have been a few changes since the start. The most heart crushing one is the NES motherboard snapped when I was trying to take the power block off, which means the NES is officially dead. This is a pretty big tragedy and I'm sure the original NES...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXh5jGsmvpA Here's a Video update! After several days of configuring, I finally got everything working correctly! The video shows the Pi booting and playing Super Mario Bros. 3 and Tetris. I only added 2 ROMs at the time, but since then I have added several more...

    Project: Raspberry PiNES

    Not a whole lot to update on and sorry for the grainy cell phone photo. This is how far I am after 2 days of tinkering and lots of coffee. I can play ROMs but I still have no controller input or sound. My USB NES controller can control the game selection but as soon as I start a ROM the input...

    Project: Raspberry PiNES

    Small update. I've been messing around with my camera and new flash. Some of these pictures came out really badly and you really tell they were touched with Photoshop, sorry about that. This is the inside of the NES with everything but the controller ports and Power/Reset button assembly...

    Project: Raspberry PiNES

    Small update since this post. I purchased a used original NES controller to test the port and a copy of Mario Bros/Duck Hunt along with a new RGA cable. After some attempts to open the lid, I finally got it off. I can instantly tell that this case had previously been opened (2 stripped screws...

    External Hard Drive Enclosure ?'s

    I'm been searching around for some time for an external hard drive enclosure to use in RAID 5. I currently have (3) 3 TB WD Hard Drives waiting for an enclosure. After looking around for some time, I think I have narrowed down my selection to this one...

    Shuttle SX38P2 eSATA support?

    Hi, I was curious if anyone here has any experience using the eSATA on a Shuttle SX38P2 or other models? I am hoping someone can tell me if the eSATA on these builds support Port Multiplier to enable access to multiple HDDs simultaneously in an external enclosure. Thanks.

    Simple Case Mod: Shuttle SZ68R5 needs more air!

    Very clean looking mod. I've had a SX38P2 as my main rig for over 3 years and it's still going strong. I don't have the heating problems that your model seems to have, but mine has minimal to no room for a second video card, and finding just one to fit it was rough. Does your model have limited...

    Dorm server?

    I currently live in a dorm that doesn't provide TV or Internet, although rooms include a cable outlet and two Ethernet outlets. (You can purchase your own plan for either) Other people in the dorms have private WiFi's, so I know the outlets work. I have an old Apple QuickSilver sitting...

    Suggestions for upgrade

    Is the 6850 good for drivers? The card I have wouldn't handle Ubuntu or any dual boot, I figured it was the card but maybe it was the drivers.
