Title: Family Basic keyboard turned in a PC
Post by: tonev on March 17, 2012, 12:11:05 pm
I found this article that I want to share with you :)
http://ahiru-server01.ddo.jp/miyage/fami/famipc04.html

It is all in Japanese  but you can understand what it is about and also there are two videos showing the actual pc. I don't like the idea of destroying a family basic keyboard for this but nah it is still a cool project :)

A faux-Famicom graphic interface Linux OS would have been kick ass.

Meh looking good! Canibalised floor is making me cry but I believe you will find a nice way to replace it!
Where did you find that angled famicom connector? Famicom PCB looks awesome soldered like this!
