Thanks a bunch you guys.  I really want to get into doing my own gaming hardware stuff.  Are there any other recommendations for uploading a game to a popular system like NES or Genesis?   I would like to build a completely homegrown 8 or 16 bit console to play my own games and stuff on.  Do either of you know if it is possible to get a NES or Genesis or SNES or some other popular old school console schematic?   I would like to build one on my own if possible.   


I once had a schematic for a NES. It was dozens of pages long.

If you're really interested in how console hardware works (I'm a bit in that area myself), then I highly recommend this book:

 

http://books.google.com.au/books/about/The_Black_Art_of_Video_Game_Console_Desi.html?id=4VFyAAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y

 

It seems to cover the basics of console systems in detail from both a software and an electronics point of view.
