Ethernet ports have been common place on consoles since the OG XBOX, and your going to get it on a SBC no matter what, might as well populate it now keep in mind this thing is quite litterly a peice of plastic with 3d printed part mockup's glued onto it, look at the NVME drive, its missing the screw on the end, those things wont sit flat without a screw, and thanks to the temps they run at (looks at mine 54C or 129F) double sided tape would last about 10 min tops sort of the same with the network card minus the heat I also know its impossible to have a single sided board on modern computers, the speed they run at and the power they draw physically wont allow it

well sort of, springs are used on captured screws all the time in mass assembly which can act as vibration dampeners but its screwed down to a board, when we use them its cause we have some smuck placing the heat sink down and the springs keep the screws out of the way, then its moved to the next asm station where they are driven home to torque cant waste time placing a part and fiddle farting with 4 little screws at the same time

@ dragon If your trying to be cute at least try and know the guts of a laptop

I cant remember any life changing games from infocraps I do remember a hand full of meh not awesome but not aewful games from that era meanwhile in the real world exactly 3 months into having a spare NES shell and a wild hare up my arse OG NES shell intel atom dual core at 1.8ghz Geforce 210 graphics DVI, VGA, HDMI, USB 3.0 yadda yadda yadda 512 gig mechanical drive DVDR 802.11.n wifi 1GB wired network Windows 7 pro Retroarch 100% capable of running GTA 4, maybe borderlands at 30 fps cost ... well under 3 million USD and ataribawx shows a 3d printed mockup 6 months away after working on it since late 2017 using a generic cloud skin ... sigh

After working on this since 2017

never seen a 3d printed nvme drive before That's exactly what it is

there's a blutoof dongle at the end, most of the time in the industry its called a computer but lets not bash them too hard, its not like a child could buy an ESP32 off a billion places for 5 bucks and have it running a bluetooth dongle using example code within 10 min of getting it (incuding installing the toolchain on the computer, er dongle) oh wait, a child could do exactly that

Well heres the problem they have shown videos and pictures of things being played on the system for years now and its been shown to be faked So with multiple fake videos abound what did they really show... Something in a 3d print a 3d print joystick that may do something and a front end which might could be something or just a skin

Probally not

also for point of reference spend as little as possible on this, just this january I scored the following for our new home office HP 3rd Gen i3 running 3.3 ghz, 4GB DDR3 1600 ram no hard drive no os 50 bucks ebay added 4 gb DDR 1600 ram 10 bucks Added a old 256 gig hard drive I had kicking around, installed windows 8 OEM since that is what the computer came with and upgraded to windows 10 using install creation tool from MS boom there's a 60$ 3.3 3rd gen i3 fully supported out of the box with windows 10, slap something like a radieon RX570 in there and your sub 200$ playing PS4 level games https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Compaq-Pro-4300-SFF-Core-i3-3220-3-3ghz-2gb-Ram-No-Hard-Drive-DVD-RW/233179366574?hash=item364a92c4ae:g:woMAAOSw7xxcmjMQ not same seller but just an example

just for the record a detailed datsheet is provided by the op in the first post and it is in fact a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 so windows 8 was the last supported OS for that ... good catch

we use similar computers at work for test stations, they do 1080 fine all day long, if your instant you can get a gefore 710 for under 30 bucks I did something similar to my garage computer, its a old dual core (AMD but whatever) that had a thousand year old geforce intergrated graphics and it would bog down doing like full screen comcast streams or cad work so I slapped a el cheapo card in it... but that machine is like a 2006 maybe 2007 cheap as possible board ... with the intel graphics of a c2duo you should not have an issue with it

well 150 bucks can get you a 1 trick toy, or a 3d printer, its still a chunk of money if you choose to piss it away

the SGB was using better hardware to run a game designed for a lesser system this uses a modern computer to run the software and the NES is nothing more than a video passthough device now again its still neat, but its not any more neat than the recent demo's of AVI files running though an NES, but saying doom is running on a NES in this case is just as equal as saying doom is running on a VCR ... just cause I passed a signal to it from a 1ghz multicore computer

its not running on a NES its running on a ras pi and dumping the video into the framebuffer neat yes, but its just using the NES as a video pass though, its not doom running on a NES, its doom running on a PI with a complex data stream to composite adapter

anyone notice the google stadia controller of course its a different shell but just more proof that generic controllers can be had all day long

Ya it would be fine if your going to use shaders you might want to consider throwing a low end nvidia or amd card in the mix Intel integrated graphics are leaps and bounds what they were but are still not that awesome I have a dual core atom with an onboard geforce 210 it will run n64 at 720p (maybe 1080 the tv is only 720 and I haven't tried another tv)

You are going to havw a very hard time finding a 1:1 replacement as it was a custom defined part that stopped being made decades ago

Bought a handful of carts Arrived well packed, good price, great communication 100%

Its ok sometimes

152 dollars! I was writing bad lua games on a 333mhz psp a decade ago This is in the "mildly interesting toy" department not buy an off lease laptop department (which has plenty of programming resources)

shoot I am almost done shoving a generic pc inside a NES and I didnt start ordering parts until 2nd week of April and that picture was from first week of may

here is what I use its a miniature 4 flute carbide end mill made for cutting circuit board material, you can find similar online, I get them from work ... Our CNC's that we use to depanel PCB's spit them out after X many of feet cutting so they wont start to get dull and burn / melt the fiberglass tween that and breaking (cause they are brittle cause carbide) we always have handful's of them, and they are still sharp, maybe just not sharp enough to whizz though PCB material at 20mph (the one in that picture was cutting cast iron last time I used it) PS: I never use a power tool to "cut to the line" I just get kind of sort of close and then break out the files
