Modder turns an original NES into a retro PC-style desktop
HotHardware reports the NESPC mod uses an EverDrive cartridge’s FPGA rather than the NES processor to execute x86 code.
TLDR
HotHardware reports that NESPC uses an EverDrive N8 Pro cartridge’s FPGA for its desktop, without making the NES’s original processor execute x86 code. The system works with an NES controller or, with extra hardware, a USB keyboard and mouse. Its desktop includes a browser and file manager, though the console’s video hardware causes drawing problems for web video and 3D games.
