Anyone have any luck adding a hard or optical drive (ie- one that
could contain your legally backed up ROMS). I know little to nothing
about the NES hardware, but would attaching a drive be really that
difficult? Of course you'd need a launcher on the drive that could
interface with the NES hardware to allow you to pick which ROM you'd
use. I also wonder if it would be possible to partition the drive to
allow some space to save game states.

Maybe this would be run through best using Windows CE (which, in all
probability, would require a separate processsor)? Which reminds me-
I am aware of the "Ulimate NES Mod," where you put a Dreamcast in the
innerds of a NES. It's a cool idea, but I don't know if you'd be
able to fit the whole NES game library on a single CD, and again
saving the games becomes an issue (plus there's something cool about
running the roms using the ORIGINAL hardware). And yes, it DOES make
more sense to just use an X-Box, but just go with me on this.

Thoughts?
