Does anybody have a computer with the power to run NES or SNES games? that would be really cool. If you use redpower lightning then could you tell me how to install the mod for a Mac running OS X Lion.
Knowing that the NES is 8 bit and the SNES is 16 bit, it's probobly alot simpler than thought. I'm curently working on a 16 bit computer. However before we can replicate it, we would need to know how much ram,and rom it has as well as what fuctions it is capaple of (if it uses multiplication, then the dificulty goes up signicicantly as opsosed to not needing multiplication). One additional thing, even though it is possible to build it, it might not fit in all sp loaded chunks and might not be playable due to how slow redstone is.
[EDIT] You will need mods if the screen has more than 2 colours.

Nope, you can use a MAP as the screen. That gives you quite a few colors to use
Let me remind you that they did make tetris in minecraft without any mods
WITH COLORS!
No, you can't. It is a practical impossibility within the constraints of Minecraft.
Thank you. The MAX for a minecraft CPU is probably one hz. A 100 Khz processor does 100,000 processes a second. So if you think that 100 Khz is slow....just try 1 hz!!

I always wanted to argue with a brick wall, I suppose the internet is the second best option.
that's just impossible. making the kilobytes of RAM or the clock speed in the megahertz or the audio quality and channels cannot be done in minecraft. the NES was a very powerful game console (at least at the time) and still to powerful.
computercraft? I don't think it's still possible to code the emulator. getting closer, and maybe many computercraft computers inter-connected would work, but the speed would still be a huge problem.
So, besides the huge complexity, the properties of redstone itself, mostly speed, are the limiting factor. While computers use electrons and have a range of materials that transfer data in virtual and physical busses and other forms, Redstone has only physical unidirectional (one way) transfer capabilities and it is slow to begin with. Plus there are many other factors that I'm not mentioning. Maybe! if there was a mod in which redstone was faster or there was a material that could work on a virtual level.
I just built my (real life) computer (and it is really annoying the because I run into problem after problem but this is besides the point) and it is quite misleading because the chip designs and the way they connect look just like redstone circuitry. But the main difference is that In a real computer there is a motherboard, ram, and a Processor that can simply well Process numerous different, types of almost any request/ data form/ task from the ram, then sent out to the motherboard to apply the code, which was already deciphered by the processor for the mother board to understand. But in Minecraft you pretty much have just Ram and a Motherboard, no dedicated separate processor. The mother board will allow you specific limited functions, and the ram will be able to delay the code in such a way that it is retained and sent out to be applied. (to turn lights on on the display). Nope you just have simple repeated functions delayed for by the ram.

Well, it is possible by using the redpower 2 mod which adds a emulated 6502 processor in game which is what the nes processor was based on it could be possible and ram would not be a problem because the nes held 2 KiB of memory and the emulated processor can max out to 64 with expansion slots. But then the games would be tricky because even Iif you could code an emulated nes the games would most likely have to be coded as well if it goes on the floppy disk. So not impossible but very unlikely unless we get a team of crack coders who know forth very well and have the time and patience to code the emulator and games. So there is the possibility but without the programmers it just falls through.
Atari or maybe the Commodore computers.
I have a Tandy TRS-80 I would love to see recreated. :wink.gif:

Though yes.
