If you want audio in, you have to be in on my secret that everyone is unaware of because they are a bunch of hobknockers.

You simply buy one of these puppies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6cW8XuEBB0, and place it inside the case of the nes. you then take the input and output of the pedal and add wire to make them fit to the edge of the nes. You then drill the holes in the nes where you want your 8 bit audio in / out and place them accordingly. Solder up. You then take the switch out as well as the pots and dill holes for them on the top. You then have an NES with 8-bit audio in.

this upgrade even works for NES's that no longer power on, so it is a win'win upgrade that is a lot cheaper than the MIDI stuff I mentioned before.

whoa 0.0 you like 8 bit super hero ; ) thanks!!!! you know what's funny though? i bought my NES at a place in our local mall that sells old, and sometimes non-working or cruddy handhelds,consoles,and games. Amazingly i found one in almost pristine condition!! after i did my mods i've done on it, it still runs (and plays) incredibly well : D (P.S. these guys are hobknockers XD )

also, you DO know that you would just be stufing an 8 bit pedal inside an nes case? as it's not wired to the soundchip itsself? : /

Good that you've seen it cause that is all you can do with a NES: midi into a cart that converts messages to register data. Go For It, midiNES rocks!

CAN'T believe that this thread has gone on so long if you knew that from the start ???

The more this thread goes on, the more I think The8BitMachine actually is a troll.
The8BitMachine, there is literally no way to plug a guitar into the NES's sound chip, it is simply not possible.
Anamanaguchi, in the article you posted, mentioned nothing about plugging their guitars or drums or any other instrument into their NES.
The only way using a guitar with an NES would ever be possible would be with a MIDI pedal/MIDI pickup/MIDI guitar and some sort of MID:I NES mod. There is nothing you can do to plug your guitar directly into the NES.

Take this : http://www.wayfar.net/0xf00000_overview.php and stuff it in your NES.
Then take something like this: http://www.shop.ca/c/pedal-footswitch-v … Ahsu8P8HAQ and connect it to the MIDI NES, and stuff it inside your NES. Connect the output of the pedal to the 1/4" jack and you're done. You can now plug your guitar into your NES and play it.

You can't.

I don't even.


Technically, Expansion Pin 6 (2a03 pin 54) in an audio input :3

What is Expansion Pin 6 used for? Would it be like the Famicons microphone or something?

It is to rout the expansion audio from carts like mmc5 and mix it with the normal audio signal.

I am sure it requires a tight voltage range though.

Guyz, I google translated kplecraft's website, and misread that they plugged their saxophone and bongo into a GameBoy and play 8-bit horns. I play the trumpet and harmonica and NEED to know how they do it, so tell me, you knowlegable chiptunez guys, how should I do it? Don't even fucking think about telling me it's not possible, because I read the website and I KNOW I CAN DO IT! Just tell me HOW, kthnxbi.
