project idea

I really liked nintendo build but I think there is one thing that could really improve the project. wireless nintendo remotes just like modern consoles!!! maybe you could even make an arduino shield that plugs into the nintendo so the only thing that would need to be modified would be the controller.

    I don't think the controller would need much modifing. It will just need a keyboard bluetooth sender attached to it with a small chargeable battery. The reciever attached to an arduino will be the hard part because if you're not a programmer like me than you'll have a challenge on your hands. To me this seems like a project that is a little expensive for a older system, especially when they make cheap ones that break a lot of the time so money is no issue when just buying another one. Just be weary of stuff from China as it sometimes doesn't work at all because sometimes they wire it wrong without doing any research on how to make it work with the system.
