    It has your typical NOAC and the issues that come with it. I'll let you know how my project goes when I get some free time around the house

    I'd say give it a once over to see how the capacitors and such look. I liked mine but as I said years ago, the electrical smell got me worried. I traded it to a modder here who opened it and said the caps were junk.

    Beyond that, it worked well but was a bit tight on the cartridges.

    I remember really wanting one if these when there were new. I have a set of wireless controllers for it that i got when the game crazy here closed up shop. They were really cheap both in cost and build.

    But hey

    The electrical smell (acutally melting plastic to me) is an easy fix. The voltage regulator sits right under the top plastic shell with a heat sink on it. If it is bent up so that it's touching or almost touching, it heats the plastic and releases that smell.

    Just open it and make sure it's bent up flat so it's not touching the plastic. Also, the regulator puts off less heat if you use a better power supply that what came with the NEX- it puts out 10V and the regulator doesn't need that much. 7.5V works fine- it only needs to regulator to 5V.

    I am selling my modded NEX BTW... It works with Everdrive N8 now and has expansion audio on the Famicom port.

    I remember ordering a nex after reading the rave review on ign. The console and packaging looked good, also had the lunchbox with wireless controller, but when i plugged everything, oh boy... what a letdown. Graphics and colors had distortion, sound was awful and off tune vs original nes. And the controllers were complete garbage!

    That price... I can't fathom why someone would spend nearly $500 for a clone. Granted, just because they're selling at that price doesn't mean anyone's buying at that price.

    It's considerably less on eBay. Still too rich for my blood.
