Software Downloaded

As much as this was meant to be a guide for people to easily do this I have kinda failed and I had to get the help of someone else to install all the crazy-ass Linux stuff so to be honest I have no idea what to say I did. My only advice is to just get a damn hard drive instead of a USB stick and install Windows on it...

Software Problems.

Ok, Linux is impossible to understand so I tried to install Windows XP. It didn't work either so I'm going back to try XBMC Live. Which you also use UNetbootin but just use a diskimage thingy from the file. (you can get this on XBMCs website)

Installing programs and such.

Ok, I've cut around the plastic sheet as close to the motherboard as I can to allow hot air up from the lower section.

To download Linux I used UNetbootin which was really easy as you just select Ubuntu 11.04 Live and set the "space used preserve files across reboots" to 9999 (joys of large modern flash drives) I then downloaded a remote on my phone that allowed me to use it as the mouse/keyboard, may mod the NES controller at a later date (Pretty much this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Apple-NesRemote/) but it will do for now.

Oh, and before you boot from the usb you need to set it in the BIOS. For me I just had to spam the delete key when I turned the NES on and then went to the boot menu and changed the order to the usb first. (Make sure its plugged in when you do this, may sound silly but it was an issue I faced...)
