Discover TinyNES: A Miniature Nintendo Entertainment System with Real NES Chips
Have you ever dreamed of owning an original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), but in a smaller and cooler form? Enter TinyNES, a remarkable creation that packs the authentic experience of the classic 8-bit NES into a tiny, compact design. This isn't just another cheap clone; TinyNES uses genuine chips from an original NES, providing an authentic gaming experience that fans have cherished for over 40 years.
TinyNES is designed with a keen eye for detail, featuring neatly socketed components that make it perfect for teardown and review. However, this mini marvel comes with its own set of challenges. To incorporate the ultra-rare RGB variants of real Nintendo chips, the designers added some unique sockets to the board, which require a special jumper board installation to function properly. If you're looking to improve video quality for capturing game footage, be prepared for a challenge, as the required RGB chips are extremely rare and not readily available, even on eBay.
The RGB chips compatible with TinyNES include all variants of RP2C03, RC2C03, and RC2C05. While RP2C04 chips are technically supported, they produce distorted output, so it's best to avoid them. Obtaining these chips often involves desoldering them from arcade machines like the Nintendo VS. System, PlayChoice-10, or the rare Japan-exclusive Famicom Titler console from Sharp.
Despite these challenges, TinyNES offers a unique and high-quality retro gaming experience. It's a pricey investment, but for collectors and enthusiasts, it’s a fascinating piece of hardware. In this video, we explore the TinyNES from top to bottom, including a detailed guide on installing the jumper board inside the console.
Creating this video was no easy task, with numerous challenges along the way. But we've persevered to bring you a comprehensive look at this extraordinary mini NES console. Can you guess which year each part was recorded? Watch the full video and find out!
