NES as console?
JamesMolloy:
You can get smooth NES emulation on a 300Mhz and 64mb RAM if you track down an old emulator. The new ones have all those natty filters that look crap anyway.
The real NES isn't a good 2nd hand option. The cartridge connectors are really cheap which results in all the puffing and resetting.

What about Super Nintendo emulation? Anyone know offhand what minimum system specs are? I suppose I could look it up, but if SNES emulation would run well on that 500 Mhz via mini-itx board I might have to consider including that functionality (though I would obviously need to use different controllers).
chuggy:
WOW,
First of all thanks a ton for quick response. secondly, is there any guides out there for wiring a NIntendo VS control panel to a PC? Remember im new! thanks again.
Snarbald:
My friends and I used to run SNES emulators fine on anything as low as a p166 back in the day. Had N64 emulators running (crappily except for starfox) on a pII266.

I used to run Nesticle (NES) and Massage (Master System/Game Gear) with no problems on P100 64mb back in 97/98
SNES was rather unplayable though.
For help wiring the control panel over, depends what method you're going to go with, a real console or a PC with emulation.
If you're doing PC emulation then you may be getting into wiring up keyboard encoders, which is easy to do.
