I gather its a music tool or something but is it bootleg or what?

MIDINES is a hardware / cartridge interface (game) that enables MIDI control of the 8bit NES sound chip. MIDINES allows the 8bit NES to join the ranks along side other retro gear in the professional MIDI recording studio. NESFX is a retro graphic visualization that is seeded by the incoming MIDI sound data, and is included with MIDINES.

Its most likely a homemade device... Looks damn nice thou!

That's probably one of the strangest things I've ever seen... Aside from THIS (http://www.weirdpicturearchive.com/pics/fingerthrougheye.html).

thats so photoshoped, you can tell that was messed with just by looking at were his finger goes into his nose.....anywho...thats basically a nes turned music mixer, its just a midi device, ive seen one of those at a local flea and ive always been tempted to buy it and makle 8bit midi goodness

I would love to have that! I would almost be willing to trade my King Neptune's Adventure prototype ( which is very different from the retail game) for something like the midi device.

A friend of mine has one of those...definitely bootleg, but he loves it. It's sort of like that Nanoloop cartridge made for Game Boy. He got his second hand and paid around $70 for it, but he said they usually run $100-$120.

Huh, weird! I kinda want one for the NES collection... but it is a new item, so I don't know if it counts for me or not (only want pre-SNES vintage stuff)

Plus it's almost $100. And that $$ could go towards many many many commons :D
