How far do you need it?  I think the main problem with long cables is the signal's rise and fall times, and that doesn't matter much for a low-speed signal.  Power and reset wire could be very long, the controller could be fairly long (but I'm not sure how much exactly).  Commonly available extension cables add 6 feet or so, I'm sure it could go farther than that without problems.  Could probably add buffer or a couple transcievers for really long cable length.

Hey NGD, the chest in itself is amazing, but the thought of a working supersize cart and controller that to go with it would be craptacular...

Didn't somebody make a hugemongus working gameboy?  I wonder how he made his buttons and stuff..

But yeah, that it so awesome NGD!

Thanks Wink

I could make the NES a working NES fairly easily, but it would have to use regular sized carts, no way a big ass cart would actually work.  I have thought about making a big ass cart also, time will tell on that.

I also have a 7ft tall Gameboy, but it is just a display also.  It does have a 32" working TV in it though.  I thought about hooking up a SNES to it, putting in the super gameboy cart, and then I could play any Gameboy game on it that way.

That reminds me, the huge NES would go great with this:

Yep Smiley That was featured on G4TV.  They actual creator of that, Randolph, contacted me in fact.  He saw my NES somewhere and sent me a IM on AIM.  Nice guy and he gave me a few pointers about building my control, even offered to help me a little.
