So what's to stop someone from modding or hacking this thing to play any rom of their choosing?
>>345139016
That lid is just for show, you can't put new games in cause it doesn't open up.
>>345139016
No one fucking knows. It's not out yet.
What's to stop someone from modding or hacking literally any Nintendo console to play any rom of their choosing?
It's a nintendo brand plug-n-play, it won't let you modify anything. There's nothing stopping you from getting a raspberry Pi however.
>>345140083
Because this thing isn't a fucking console it's a glorified toy.

>glorified toy
So, consoles are not toys?
Nintendo's emulators tend to be tailor built for the games they issue on the VC.
So there's no guarantee that whatever emulator this thing is running, will run other NES games as perfectly as the ones which are bundled with it.
It'll probably not be that hard to crack this thing's firmware open and get all the roms you want unless it has no support whatsoever for external peripherals, at which point you'd probably only be able to get new roms in there by overwriting existing ones, much like how VC injections work. Just talking out my ass here but that's what I think will happen
Because it would be easier to emulate on literally any other electronic device anyway, so what's the point?
Okay so what could I use to emulate shit straight to my television?>>345140906
>>345139016
It's not for sale yet.
>>345141074
raspberry pi?
>>345140906
The consensus seems to be "it's cute and portable"
Not really that great of a point, but dense idiots like me who know nothing about how to use the RasPi, let alone build a machine off one, this is somewhat tempting. My country's equivalents of craigslist and ebay don't feature RasPi devices people made, just CHINESE TABRET SUPPORT BIG GAME BUY NOW ONRY 600 BUCKS
>>345141074
a rasberry pi if you wanna do a little work. leterally any modern PC if you wanna do a little less.
>>345141074Ouya
Isn't the entire NES library like >1 Gb? Aren't there a plethora of emulators that can 100% play the entire library?
>>345141494
Yes, but if you know this then you're already not the audience nintendo is looking for. The people who play and enjoy pokemon go on the other hand...
>>345141494
The problem isn't emulation. The problem is being able to play them on your home television comfortably without a lot of hassle and workaround.
>>345141718
fucking normalfags
>>345140784
Just like the wii u then :^)
>>345141865
Yes anon, exactly. Nintendo is cashing in on the nostalgia after realizing "hory shittu dey stiu rike crassic geymu" and that there's a lot of moralfags out there itching to legally get an emulation machine from an official source
>$60 30-in-one when $10 300-in-one's exist.
"It's ok when Nintendo does it!"
>>345139016
Nintendo said it won't except any form of external input besides the controller.
Besides flashcarts already exist for around the same price as this.
>>345142392
I sure as hell hope you don't mean chinese knockoff cartridges or plug n play
That shit has a list of 10-20 obscure (read: shit) games no one asked for repeated 30 times over

prepare to have your mind blown
Never Hacked
Buy one of these. It costs twice as much but your basically buying the entire NES library. It will play any NES ROM you put on it and its not emulation.

Meeting up with some nigger at 3am in a Walmart car park to pick up a CRT that's probably already broken.
Wow so convenient!
>>345144228
>>345144041
Like 5 years ago you could get a decent CRT for peanuts but then thanks to either AVGN or Melee tournaments everyone realized CRTs are still the best for old gaming consoles and they stopped making them years ago so prices got jacked on them.

then the nes mini is the product for YOU! why get every game with a shitload of options when you could get 30 games and pay nintendo!

Go to your local landfill
I'm serious, CRTs everywhere, I even got me a BVM
>>345145472
You might be surprised. I was all into N64 and Playstation when my dad introduced an Atari to me at age 8 and I still found fun in that. Not saying any kid will enjoy NES today, but there's definitely some kids out there who could.
>>345145472
Everyone's high on nostalgia for Pokémon that's who they're targeting.

You should buy a 3DS before the ones with hackable firmware disappear from the shelves. The games from NES/SNES era actually look okay on a small monitor and without the disadvantages of a CRT.
>>345147391
does it work on a 2DS?
>>345140536
? Uh thats straight up bullshit
VC Injects for GBA games on 3DS are 100%
Same for all NES games, its SuperFX, and the Rare N64 Games where nintendo half asses it
>>345139756
I laughed.
>>345147586
>VC Injects for GBA games on 3DS are 100%
That's because it's not emulation.
>>345147547
Yes, 2DS can be hacked.
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Get-Started
However, the emulators run more smoothly on a new 3DS, but they should work on a 2DS as well. Look into it.

>>345149167
No, /v/ just has a vocal population of salty Sony fans and kids who can't afford $60
>>345145394
Yea why would you do anything else?
No I'm literally asking.
Do I need to put in THAT much effort to play a few games from the mid 80s? No, I don't.
Honestly, all I want from all this is those controllers. They look like 1:1 compared to the original nes controllers, have factory fresh dpads, and use the nunchuck/classic controller port.
All the aftermarket nes controllers are garbage, so I'll at least get something out of this for emulating. 10 bucks isn't too shabby either.
>>345141381
wtf no, get a wii or wiiu and hack that shit and play every single nintendo game ever fo free
>>345149363
This is not a rerelease in any way, though. Check it out closely.
>>345149363
N64 emulation takes a little more horsepower than the cheap probably ARM based chip in the nes multirom thingy can provide, but that would be cool.
Proper n64 emulation and/or replication of the n64's hardware with a decent built in scaler would be neat. It's a pipedream though probably.
>>345149448
Bruh the semantics don't matter to me. Now I just want an n64 mini with four controller slots. And I guess controllers. Actually I'd be fine with them just re-releasing their n64 controllers. I can just buy a $50 console and some carts at a flea market or some shit. I just want one that doesn't have a fucked up joystick and I don't trust used sellers
>>345149751
>It's a pipedream though probably
just let me dream anon
>>345149751
>It's a pipedream
have you not heard of project64?
Honestly, I think this is just them gutting some Wii Us to repurpose them into little Virtual Console machines because they know they're not selling many more of those while NX is on everyone's minds.
>>345149395
when literally everyone is a paycheck or two away from homelessness and poverty, yeah no one should be spending much money on this horse shit. EMULATE YOU KEKS. Or at least get a wiiu and hack it to play every single nintendo game for free.
Why can't it play carts too?
>>345150012
That would be incredibly expensive. And Nintendo won't be doing Virtual Console machines if this works.
However, Wiis and Wii Us as they are are best used as emulation boxes since they have analogue out and 240p compatibility.
>>345139016
Because why the fuck would you bother when you can emulate SNES on fucking ANYTHING without trying.
>>345148740
>>345149405
your absolutely right. how about this, ILL do it, ill get the stuff, and sell it to you for many, many times its actual valu-oh, nevermind. nintendos got you covered. arnt you lucky
>>345139016
Nothing at all.
>>345150202
Because there's not much of a market for people who have a bunch of NES cartridges without a console to play them on.
>>345139016
A PC?
You can already emulate every NES game. Who cares.
>>345142070
GOD damn anon
>>345140514
No, they won't
this game isn't marketed to normal fags or us.
It is marketed to people who want to gift these games to old people that don't know shit about technology.
>>345139016
The fact that all the games are probably all on a chip and not something so easily fucked with.
