I'm interested in seeing what you can do with the teensy!
-
just curious, would you be opposed to making a new base for it to add a little inside height?

What an awesome idea... Whoever thought of that must be a genius!
I think you are going to run into lag problems with the wireless Air Play -> AppleTV solution. When I use the airplay feature to mirror my ipad screen through the apple TV there is a good half second of lag which would make playing a video game impossible.

Nice build, why not a Raspberry inside?

I love your project! Good luck. :cheers:

Cool Idea
I wonder if I could turn one of these into a Madden 92 ?
...................................................
Just playing, but hey a really cool Idea.

Side note: I think I've figured a way to chop some height off the NUC. I may be able to get a thermal block from a passive cooling case that I'll mount directly to the massive metal base of the controller. That will remove the fan and cut a third off the height. I'm just talking to the supplier to try and get my hands on the part.
Its the kind of project that puts ones engineering ability to the test. I know how that feels. So far so good! :cheers:

Which one did you get? The one with the older i3 or newer i5 or the older celeron?

Hmmm... Very cool project! It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. :cheers:

I have to say, this is also my primary question. Direct connection from the NUC to a monitor should have absolutely no issues at all, but what are you planning to do to mitigate the lag of the wireless display? Do you have a really beefy wireless router and network setup in your home?
My experience with wireless display is relatively small (a couple of different devices, admittedly I've never messed with AirPlay) but wow, none of it has been good enough to play video games with. That delay would drive me nuts.

I'm loving this idea.
I have a broken NES advantage sitting in a box at my parents house. Perhaps I should do the poor mans version of this with a R-pi and liminit it to the old two button or less systems (Atari 2600, NES, Sega master system, game boy advanced, and so on). The fact that the older systems need less processing power to emulate lends its self will to the limits of the R-Pi.
Can you go in to more details on how you interfaced the Teensy USB Dev Board to the Advantage? Is there a web site you can point to with all the info some one would need readily available?

Awesome idea! Have you found any heat issues with using the NUC over time?

You got mame running on the NUC yet? You should be able to test lag once you do.

Good news is the lag isn't an issue at all. I might hide an HDMI connection on the back. nothing too intrusive.
I dunno... I was watching the video and there is definite lag... You really won't notice until you play some real fast paced games (pac man, racing games etc...) Took a screen grab and if you look closely the screen on the right is a good ~100ms (hard to measure from a youtube grab) behind. If you look at the image You can see that the image on the left Mario already hit the block and is already on his way down, while the image on the right shows Mario just leaving the ground.

Very impressive! :cheers:

looks great, I think the grey balltop looks better than the purple one. :cheers:
I suppose you tested it enough to discern if air flow/heat is an issue? You said it doesnt get blistering hot, but Im not sure exactly what that means, last thing youd wanna do is start melting that old plastic, lol. I'd probably try to retro fit a couple of tiny fans in there to push/pull air. and by tiny I mean like 20mm x 20mm x 6mm

Looks great! Only thing I'd add is I'd cut out a hole on the back so that you can access the USB ports. That way you can add a second play choice controller with a USB mod, or another USB gamepad so that you can do some 2 player gaming!

Great work man! :applaud:
Awesome to see that some members telling you that you wouldn't be able to do it didn't discourage you.
-
That's amazing! Well done!
Your next project could be thethering another controller for 2 player action!

That's really awesome man! Great work. :cheers:

Awesome work! :applaud:

This is so awesome. I might have to try something similar, but use a Pi instead of a PC board.
Awesome work!
