NES Radar turns a real Nintendo Entertainment System into a live air traffic scope.

Type any airport's four-letter code on the NES controller, press Start, and the aircraft actually flying near that airport right now appear as moving targets on your TV.

It works for airports worldwide. Point it at your local field and watch the approach traffic line up, or at KLAX and watch it get busy.

What's new

The splash screen now shows the name and version, so a ROM file or a flashed cartridge tells you what it is and which build it is on its own.

The server is unchanged apart from its version, which now matches the ROM — a 0.3.1 ROM and a 0.3.1 server are a matching pair.

Downloads

  • nes_radar_0_3_1.nes — the ROM, for a flash cartridge
  • NES-Radar-0.3.1-macos-universal.zip — the Mac server, self-contained with nothing to install
  • NES-Radar-0.3.1-python-source.zip — the server as Python source, for Windows and Linux
  • SHA256SUMS — check your downloads against this

The Mac binary is ad-hoc signed but not notarized, so macOS will warn about it. See the README for the one-line fix.
