Where can I find a VGA to TV Converter?

Oh, I wasn't even suggesting using the nes pads at all. Just the Nes case. You'd actually be plugging your gamepads in, in the wrong spots. If you wanted to get creative I am sure you could make there be USB ports where the nes controllers are supposed to plug in.

Bomber:

Yeah - I think I got what you meant. The NES case would basically be a big USB hub for some USB controllers (or some console pads with a USB adaptor) and the power from the NES would connect to the motherboard's power. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I was just letting my imagination get a bit further ahead and thinking NES pads into the NES ports would be nicer than opening the cartridge flap of having a USB hub. Probably an a**hole of a thing to rig up but as they say, dreaming is free...

Lilwolf:

btw, before you say they ALL suck... Some of them are GREAT... but the good ones cost about 2000+ and used for professional purposes.  And some will give good results on composite TVs

Buy a TV-out card for 40 bucks or less.  MUCH better for the price.  

Bomber:

This will pretty much be used for NES, SNES and SMS emulators so it doesn't need to be crystal clear. Just how bad a picture are we talking about? Say on a 21 inch TV? Seems like I could get one for around $100. Not too bad, but if the picture is awful I don't want to be throwing my money away.

mahuti:

I have one. It cost about $120 (someone gave it to me)

I used it for about 3 months. I don't think it was that bad. I replaced it because it had too many wires, and I had intended to give it back.

The guy that gave it to me didn't want it back, so now I have it sitting in a box.

Who knows when / if I will ever use it again. Maybe though.
