I think you will need a desktop based power supply though I'm sure when the left handeds get around to it they will tell me how wrong I am.
Which vga to composite adapter are you looking at? The problem I see is no support for Duck Hunt but I'll forgive you if there will be a picture filled post showing your work on this.
This reminds me of the Nomad link

If you wan't to save a little more money you can hook up your controllers to your pc using the DirectPad pro method along with using NTpad XP's drivers.

thanks sithmaster....ive done a little more research and ive seen one build where a guy uses a 55watt psu...but its not one of the picoPSU's or anything. its more like your standard ATX psu but more of a rectangle shape. i might be able to find a slim psu from an old pc at work. i saw those picoPSU's and the kit and everything, but they are just a little too expensive. i know $50 isnt all that much, but every time i start talking about "another project" my wife gives me the evil eye followed by "you dont NEED it". :blah:
anyway, i think ill just try to compare the price difference between the picoPSU and a standard PSU.

This is a Ness.
Blanka:
May I ask the question why?
Why put a system to emulate a system inside a system that does 30$ second hand that already does exactly that en does that extremely well?
Or do you want this:
