Replica of a Nintendo NES store demonstration unit.

teedee

Would'nt it be cool to build a replica of a NES store demo unit? I found some pics online of something called Nintendo M82, but the unit i remember they had at our local supermarket had one button per game (granted, i was probably about 6 years old and that would be some 30 years ago, so my memories might be less than reliable..). Maybe connect it to a Raspberry Pi with an emulator?

  • As Felix would say, "GRRRREAT IDEA!"

     

    So it would basically be kind of like a jukebox NES that would have 12 games (or maybe even more?) but all of them already slotted in place, their labels exposed. The user would select which of those games he would like to play through a button press on the side of each game? Anything like that.

    There should also be a means to change which 12 games you would have on your machine.

     

    IMO would be cooler if he could use a real NES instead of emulating one.

     

    But yeah, seems very straightforward. Which could mean more time for building a nice case! With lights in front of each cart label, maybe..? Eh? That would be nice, wouldn't it?

     

    EDIT: I think this is the unit you're talking about, the Nintendo M82.

    Or maybe this one, the M8:

    Or was it a Sega kiosk?

    Yes, it would be kind of like an NES jukebox. And of course a real NES

    would be even more awesome! And all the other stuff too!

  • This idea seems very feasible. I believe the way to go about making one with an original NES would be to wire some cartridge slots in parallel and connect through a switch that also temporarily activates the reset button when pressed. I bet a 12 position rotary knob may work for the switch. Or some kind of micro controller, I guess.
