They planned it initially to be a tapedeck looking addon.

Who knows if it would've been floppies somewhere on that fucker or cassette tapes.

i assume the guts are literally just a NES with an integrated version of family basic

IDK. They could still be great provided they actually function like an oldschool dpad and only click in NESW cardinal directions.

Wireless anything with regards to gaming at that time was absolute shit.

>>2904538
I lived that era... wireless was really bad then.

>>2904538
That's probably why they didn't sell it. It had to have used IR, not RF, so you would have to have an unbroken line of sight between the LED emitter and receiving photodiode.

As an American myself, I have to say you're a over sensitive piece of shit if you really thought that was the main point of the post

So you're a fatty? I get it. Being indifferent doesn't make you any less disgusting. I find fats like you repulsive. It's not strange I wouldn't appreciate being compared to you.

I doubt a modem would be difficult to graft onto the expansion ports of any of these systems. What would /vr/ think if modems existed to play over the internet with friends using actual hardware? The biggest challenge is that you would have to have a pass through cart to support a modem ROM without stepping on the toes of any addresses used by the game you're playing. Hmm, this may be a fun project...

>>2904608
Ummm... ok? Best get started on that then?

Harder than you think I'd wager. A modem isn't a firewall and has no security. People will take advantage if for nothing other than the lulz.

Thinking about it more, really what would be the most difficult part is to make sure the games stay in sync. If any packet took more than 1/60s to transfer, the machines would become desynced, and there would be no realistic recovery on actual hardware unless the modem somehow kept a copy of a known valid state. Furthermore TVs could have slightly different refresh rates such that over a long period of time both TVs would display a slightly different number of frames, so a recovery mechanism would be essential.

Hmm, this may not be possible. 1/60 ~= 0.0167s, while the distance from the US East to West Coast is 4654km, which means at fastest the signal could travel (4654000 m)/(3e8 m/s) ~=0.015s, and ain't no signal gonna travel at the speed of light.

I suppose this idea could work over shorter distances, but long distances would probably have to use a PC running an emulator to properly work around these issues.

Poop. It was fun while it lasted.

Because the Amerifats are asleep. As for me, I'm staying up to slam down a box of snack cakes followed by a stick of pepperoni and some extra strong ginger beer, so that I get some really weird indigestion-induced dreams.

Well, you could connect to a simple server like the original Famicom Network, instead of directly... as long as you don't charge for software with Nintendo's IP you could even charge a monthly subscription. A 56k modem can be bought in bulk for $5 a pop nowadays.

I don't know what the market for it would be, only us weird hobbyists... it would probably be mostly a labor of love.

>pass through cart
Why not just plug the cart into the cart port if the modem plugs into the exp port genius?

>>2906262
i saw that guy's video a couple years ago. being a moron, i'm still not sure what you'd use his device for. any ideas?

>>2906446
You misunderstood me. What you wrote has no chance of working. I'll go into detail of my thought process though.

Since this thread was about the expansion port on the bottom of the SNES, I got a woody thinking how cool it would be to use the port for a modem to let 2 players play over the net. Then I realized that the modem would have to use a ROM to perform its services (think game genie), which would necessitate a pass-through cart to provide the SNES access to the modem program (expansion port operates on B-bus (hardware registers), not A-bus (cart)).

Now I realize if a pass-through cart is necessary, fuck the expansion port, the pass-through should be where the modem hardware is located (think super gameboy or game genie). In addition the pass-though would have to maintain state using essentially a copy of the SNES's memory contained within the cart, such that if packets failed to arrive on time, the modem could correct the synchronization of the machines by refreshing the state of the host SNES with the last known valid state. All of this now that I think about it would be fucking difficult to implement with the purpose I proposed (2-player over the internet), although the concept of adding just a modem would be trivial.

Essentially the only realistic implementation would be to emulate the game on more powerful hardware unfortunately.

>>2906262
This looks cool.

yeah its fucked up if you think about all that intergalactical commerce happening in scifi, but the speed limit of physics makes it impossible to play a fighting or fps game with someone on the other side of the planet

>inb4 tachyons

>>2904641
make it a raspberry extension faggot, but at this point you're pretty much just using a superior hardware capable of emulating the other one to handle network just because you didnt want to use the internet multiplayer that already exists for emulation...

anyway.. hum, ur first idea, would it be just for games that already work with 2 consoles link locally via the extension port? (assuming that even exists)
or would the pass trough also be required becasue you would be sending remote control signals?

>>2904741
>indigestion-induced dreams
is that a thing?

damn, is that why i never "have"* dreams? i eat 2h before bed

*in the sense of strong ones that briefly wake you up and get written to disk so that you remember them upon waking up in the morning, as opposed to every REM/dream everyone experiences every 90min or so during sleep

>>2906464
NES MMORPG or maybe an 8-bit web browser cart

>>2906491
What I wrote has every chance of working because that's how it was done originally. With the FC and other things around the same time. The problem is you're thinking like an emubaby. Using netplay or some shit. That's not the only way to do it. Not now and not back then.

A perfectly realistic implementation would be to design the game to use a modem, put it on a cart, plug in a modem, and play it. That is, after all, how it was originally done.

>>2904641
I mean, if you gotta take the netplay route, why don't just scrap half of the syncing frames? This is not going to be smooth as with local gameplay but it's fucking online multiplayer on the real hardware without subscriptions and crap.

>>2906968
>gotta
You don't gotta. But if you gotta you're not going to emulate a console on itself.
Can we throw away this used tampon and talk about anything remotely related to the OP?
