So I modded my NES Classic

On 09/14/2017 at 04:56 AM by NintendoFanJon

Well, it's been awhile since the NES classic came out and with the SNES classic coming around the corner I went ahead and decided to modify my NES Classic with pretty much every NES game. Now the process was one I was unsure of, but I managed to find a way to do the job. So after a couple of hours and plenty of research later I went about doing the task. When all was said and done I wound up with over 800 games.

I'm not really sure what got me so interested in doing it, maybe it was because I got bored and I was looking for something to hold me over until Super Mario Odyssey comes out. Now that I've done it though, I have to say that I might have gone overboard... I mean I have practically the entire NES library and that would hold anyone's interest for a lifetime. And just so you know that you are not seeing those files wrong... There are 29 files there. Each file has 30 games in each. I'm probably going to add another file and add 30 more games for an even 900, but at this point they'd probably be either unlicensed (think bible adventures) or hacked games (think Megaman in the Mushroom Kingdom). Either way it was a fairly enjoyable time waster. Anyways, I'm going to be busy for some time. Who knows maybe it'll give me some interesting blogging material.

In a way it got me back to thinking about when I modded my Wii with things like homebrew and gecko in order to play region only games like fatal frame 4 or disaster day of crisis. My only problem now is... which game do I play first. Do I replay some classics like the NES Mario's, Metroid, or Zelda's? Or should I play something awful like any various LJN licensed game like fester's quest or friday the 13th? Now I'm back to a backlog! Who had the bright idea of getting me all these games to play... oh wait... I did...

As always thanks for reading my boring blogs! And I always appreciate the comments! Until next time!

Since the NES Classic is so hard to get, I went ahead and found where I could import the Famicom Classic for nearly retail price. So I may have a blog about that in a few weeks, or whenever I get to it. I really hope to get the SNES Classic, but since both my Wal-Mart and Best Buy preorderes got cancelled, I can't get my hopes up too much.

I did not know there was such a thing as Famicom Classic.

Yeah it's kind of crummy that the NES and SNES classics are being scalped the way they are. I unfortunately missed on an SNES pre-order, but my local best buy did some online order cancels and they are doing a "console" type launch where if you get in line early enough they have 25 snes classics in store . I guess I'll be camping out by my best buy on the 28th lol

Goddamn dude. 800 games? That's a bit overwhelming, but also very cool.

09/16/2017 at 09:41 PM

Absolutely. Also as of writing this I added others to make it 900. I need help lol

That's like something I would do. Then be totally overwelmed by it. Someone gave me a disc of a ton of Dreamcast games that work on my Dreamcast. I haven't tackled it but I was puttin all the games on my backloggery when I got tired and stopped.

Maybe come up with a theme and play through a bunch and blog about it. That might be cool.

My brother did that with my dreamcast. I actually still have my dreamcast and the games. I have pretty much the entire Dreamcast library in a cd folder, along with the boot disc. Apparently the dreamcast was very easy to burn games for. My brother used to rent them all for like a dollar, burn them, and give them back. The best $200 console ever he used to say lol

I didn't get mine until Gamestop was literally about to send them all back to the warehouse. I think I got mine for like $40.
