Building a brand new NES in 2025 is EASIER than you think | The SM-Tendo

Use this link to SAVE $5 on your first order at PCBWay: https://pcbway.com/g/A311e7 Nearly 40 years after the introduction of the NES, it turns out we can build a brand new one here in 2025 using a kit called the SM-Tendo. Not only that but it has enhanced features like the removal of the CIC lockout chip and the inclusion of Expansion Audio. Add to the mix other great kits like the Nintendrawer and the PPUdigitizer which gives us crisp, HDMI level video output, and we have a NES that’s better than the original. And to cherry on top is that it’s pretty easy to do, so let’s dive in and see what making a new NES in 2025 is like. //Video Links: ► SM-Tendo Board: https://ko-fi.com/zaxour ► POW Block: https://ko-fi.com/zaxour ► PPUdigitizer: https://www.tindie.com/products/c0ppe... ► NintenDrawer: https://shop.rockergaming.com/product... ► NES Shell: https://retrogamerestore.com/store/ne... ► Update OSSC to rev 1.8:    • Get OSSC Pro Features On Your OSSC With Th...   //Tito’s Second Channel: ► Channel Link:    / @titoperez3154   ► Become a Patreon Member:   / machonachoproductions   //Macho Nacho T-Shirts: ► MERCH Store: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/mac... —-- Timestamps 0:00 Intro 1:07 New NES Build Parts Overview 4:44 NES Build Tutorial 14:35 Features Overview + Lumacode Setup 19:20 Pros and Cons ----- // Support Macho Nacho: ► PATREON:   / machonachoproductions   ► eBay STORE: https://www.ebay.com/usr/machonachovi... ► MERCH: https://www.artisticpixels305.com/mac... ► WEBSITE: https://macho-nacho.com/ ► JOIN our DISCORD Community:   / discord   ► AMAZON Store For Tools/Supplies I Use (Affiliate): http://www.amazon.com/shop/machonacho... // Follow Macho Nacho On Social Media ► Twitter:   / machonachomedia   ► Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/machonachome... ► Instagram:   / machonachoproductions   ► Facebook:   / machonachoproductions   —-- // SAVE MONEY at these Retro Gaming Stores!
