Nintendo CD
A CD-ROM drive the size of an NES cartridge. | |
I placed a CD over a NES cartridge and noticed the CD would fit in it. Now with today's electronics making things smaller and smaller they could pack all the electronics of a CD-ROM drive into a nintendo cartridge. The CD player function would use the PCM output available on the NES. You could also put
every game ever written for the NES on one CD and sell it for $10,000. (yeah right.)

i know that one of these was made for the mega-drive(or genesis) |
|
|
it was stupid looking and i dont think that it had any advantages(apparently) |
|
|
also CDs esp. playstation have long loading times whereas cartridges do not |
|
|
We're talking about games like Bubble Bobble. I don't think loading time will be an issue. |
|
|
Here I was hoping for an audio CD with remixes of the classic videogame music. But I think that's already baked. |
|
|
Heh.. Remixes of classic vidoe game music.. I did onna those.. |
|
|
If you're interested send me an e-mail boudreaultj@rvvs.com, and I'll send you DJ Eidolon - Tetris Megamix 2001.. :-) |

In the early 90s, a Super Nintendo CD-ROM drive was in development that also "boosted" the console to a 32-bit system. But differences between the companies saw the drive halted and the developer of the CD-ROM began to create its own CD-based console. |
|
|
You can pick up the latter console quite cheaply today. It is called the Sony Playstation. |
|
|
I would love to have classic video game music on unbreakeable 78 rpm records. Just crank up the gramophone and .... Super Mario Brothers! I don't think even a diamond in the world has ever vibrated to the sounds of the 8-bit Nintendo. |
|
|
[Amishman], you'll have a great deal of trouble finding an unbreakable record. |
|
|
Yeah, records are made to be broken. Or is that rules? |
|
|
I didn't know Amish even Had video games |
|
|
They do, they're just made of wood. |
|
|
Basic idea is baked in the form of the Starpath Supercharger and the Cuttle Cart, both for the Atari 2600. |

Have you seen a DS cartridge? They could put every game written for the NES on a cartridge about the size of the original NES cartridges, along with classic games and most of a movie (a full theatrical movie file would fit. My cousins and I downloaded the entire HP5 movie and transferred it to their X-Box 360 without it taking up all the room, so it should work.) Plus, many CD-ROM drives were planned, but canceled (remember Nintendo 64 DD?) |

The Amish have no technology. Therefore, to fill this void, those WITH technology have technology several years more advanced than people constantly using said tech. So, he should have known about DS cartridges. (Everything I just wrote was in jest.) |
