    Maybe you should educate yourself a bit on how the system works before you go about insulting people.

    Just a random thought... $3700 / 175h = 21.14 $/hr... not including the week of planning. Don't ask me why I thought that was relevant. Actually, it was because before I read the full article I thought the dude was selling it for profit, so I wanted to see if it was worth his time and energy. But since it is for charity it kind of voids everything written above. #legomario

    @Duckspwn: Also, you didn't factor in the cost of materials. Profit = revenue - cost, and cost included materials and labor. He spent 175 man hours on this (and whatever additional planning time) plus some amount on the actual Lego blocks.

    Since he's doing this for charity, the amount he spent on the blocks is pretty much the only cost to factor in, though. #legomario

    @WestwoodDenizen: @Glaiel-Gamer: @MonkeyPaw: Eeeep. Bad math on my part (although I did cover my ass with the last line I wrote). Yeah, I forgot to take into consideration the cost of Legos. But given that this is for charity, I'm pretty sure he got some sweet deal on those. #legomario

    If I pay 1000$ extra, could I get one that opens Total-Recall-Style to reveal inside Princes Peach? It would make a twisted good-hearted dorky geek very questionably happy.

    Did anyone else notice the SMB music was playing too fast? It's like he has ten seconds left in the level but he's right at the begining. That emulator is whack.

    Still, I'd want one.

    it also sports a feature where every couple times you start it up, it flashes blue and you have to blow into and smack it a few times to get it going

    Holy overclocked processor/incorrect fps rate.

    Better too fast than too slow, though.

    Weird, tetris is normal speed. Perhaps he used wrong region ROM for SMB, maybe PAL instead of NTSC?

    @appletoad: It does say (E) next to the rom, so it seems to be PAL. Is that really the only issue?

    @Volvonaut: I think so. PAL/NTSC play at different speeds, and I think playing a euro cart on a US system/emu results in it being faster. But most emulators let you pick which region of the console to emulate.

    Ah, this has put me in the mood for some Kaizo Mario World.

    i hate case modes that don't use original controllers because i hate the feeling of anything but the real thing in my hand. If i'm playing nes, i want an nes controller, not some 3rd party thing or some homemade thing no matter how well its made.

    if you were to blind fold me, and give me an NES controller and the absolutly best knock off NES controller(or snes! for that matter)... i mean it could be within 1% exact of a real thing, and i could still tell which one is fake... i guess i spent that many hours with those two controllers in my hands... i kinda miss the feeling, i think i'm gonna go hold one for a few minutes.

    Its shocking to see someone play Super Mario Bros without holding down the run button. He kept backing up to get enough speed to jump over the holes or the pipes, its like he hasn't played the game much and doesn't even know you can run.
