This buckle is... well.... interesting :P
Although I wouldn't wear it. Doesn't fit my Nike's

[Maikel]

I doubt it will fit with anything

Playing NES on the Computer Screen. HMMM lets compare. My Sony Trinitron has a viewable diagonal screen of 70cm and a 19" Computerscreen has something about 48cm. I can connect the NES with my Surround Device if I have the right cable, I have the right cable . The Emulator means to turn on the PC surround boxes, if you have. The NES has a nice Pad, some might use it as a belt buckle. There are also some nice Joysticks and other Pads ready to use, if you have them. The PC offer you a Keyboard or whatever you connect on it. The NES neads Cardrdiges, nice and grey they are. Sometimes hard to get. Sometimes genuine with recycling Paper Box. The Computer offers you every single game, usually, as illegal download. Playing on a real NES means Style, the Emulator is just a peace of Software.

Clear Winner: NES with 70cm Sony TV!

Why the Hell does someone kill genuine NES Pads for stupid looking belt buckles???

Connect it to your sorround sound !?!

What the hell kind of sick pervert are you anyway ?!? :bleh:

If the signal is mono, as it is, it doesn't matter that my surround device is able to get the signal. It does not mean that I will have surround sound. But the sound seems to be much better from the surround device, even its mono sound, than from the tv speakers.

Yes I am pervert, I use my old Hardware and not those modernish Emulators.

Well, as your cartridges may become damaged over the time, as the NES itself may also, where do you think you'll get replacements?
You mostly cannot buy NES-consoles today anymore and even then they would just last pair of months before giving their soul up again in which case you'll have to look after new one again. Same with cartridges. And what you'll do when the cartridge of your favourite NES game is broken and you cannot find just this game cartridge sold anywhere anymore?
The only possible way then would be an emulator and the ROM, right?

[Spaceball]

Well Nintendo and Sega Consoles are much better than most people think. I have a Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) were the elektronics have rust, it still works. Why should a NES give up after a couple of months? The Atari VCS / 2600 scene uses 25 years old hardware. When a Atari VCS can last at least 25 years than I think my NESes will make it fine. The broken Cardridges aren't the big problem. There are enough stores around who deal with acient Nintendo stuff. I often see old Nintendo stuff at fleamarkets and on Ebay. Its just a question of time and money.

So I have some time bevore I have to use the emulator.

Actually if you have an original NES, all you need to fix it is one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8134807410&rd=1

its a '72 pin connector'. Usually when you get that blinking screen when you load up a nes game, its because the original '72 pin connector' is old and worn. You replace it with a new one and the NES is pretty much brand new!!

And they sell a ton of them on e-bay.

My buddy replaced his and its like he just bought a brand new NES. No more blinking screen k:

Nice info Gilato! k:

Hey, if my nefhew still would have his NES now, that would fix it... <_<
He threw it away after the pin connector became old and above mentioned problems began to appear...
