I have won several NES autions off of ebay since im HATING my PS3...Im going retro. So instead of trashing the busted NES, I am going to do this mod. I already have the DVD player.... Just wondering what type of wire u used with the AV ports being moved. I want to do mine like yours with a few changes. I want the IF remote port in player 2 port. and in player 1 port i want to be able to attach any controller to it and be able to play the dvd, for example the direction buttons to move on the dvd menu screen, the select button to play the dvd the start button to pause, and "A" button for chapter forward and "B" for chapter reverse etc ( I still have to check the DVD i will be using so whatever buttons are on the unit itself i will want to put through the controller even though i would have a remote to do it, i still think it would be cool to do ... any ideas or suggestions?

I remember that I had to cut a trace on the board for some reason the way I wired it up. Try to study the nesdvd_29_large.jpg picture if you can, as that's the way I did it. Good luck. I'd love to see the finished result when you're done! Breadstick,

I'm new to this sort of thing, and the nesdvd_29_large.jpg image doesn't show exactly where all the wires are supposed to be leading. Here are two pictures showing how I currently have my wires set up: http://lolacakescolorado.com/dvdstuff/IMG_0032.JPG http://lolacakescolorado.com/dvdstuff/IMG_0027.JPG This is not working at all... it's wired differently than showed on this website, I wired it as shown on this image from exoid.com: http://lolacakescolorado.com/dvdstuff/ninvid3.jpg Any help or direction would be appreciated...

I am trying to make a wiitendo and I am having issues with the power and reset button. Power will obviously be the power button and reset will be the eject I am just having issues either chaining the two together or finding the proper wiring diagram.

I found one of my broken NES systems. I had one left. Lucky I didn't throw it away. So I'm just about to buy a cheap DVD player. I think I have seen one for $10.00 (australian) but I don't know where. I can wait to turn it into a dvd player. Just found your website. I found one of my broken NES systems. I had one left.

I would do the same thing, except my now-21-year-old NES still works, and I have no intentions of breaking it either. I don't really use it, but that's my goal: to not use it too much, as the game cart connector can and will eventually malfunction. Malfunctioning is a process that I want to prevent. So, to pass my time, I'm usually on my DS Lite, or on my computer. On account of all the PSP, XBox, Zune, and PC users on the planet, I now say unto you as Charlie the Unicorn has once said..... "Shun the non-believer!" Hey, nice work on the NES DVD player.
