Build a Nintendo NES PC author hatsuli dies of cancer
It is with great sadness that I share the news of hatsuli, author of the Build a Nintendo NES PC, dying this August. He suffered from cancer for almost two years. His mother wrote to tell me that he was a great fan of the site and visited it everyday.
hatsuli was a runner-up in the Use It Again! contest for his Nintendo PC, which is currently rated among the top 1% of all Instructables.

while helping with my great grandma's estate sale I found an old NES, I will be honoring both their memories by building one of these.

I completed my NES PC a while ago after reading hatsuli instrucable. I am very sad to find out that he has died.
But he is surely like the NES we all cherish so much, immortal.
RIP.

I'm fairly new to this site, and I wanted a nice summer project. I saw the NES pc tutorial and I wept in joy. Now, I find he died? May God bless thee and thy loved ones. You made a lot of gamers happy, man. RIP.

Not knowing Hatsuli, just from his instructable i can tell he was a very smart guy, you must be very proud. I'm sorry to hear he passed away, only seeing the comment left after i had read his instructable. It even brought a lump to my throat! I'm sorry that such a brilliantly minded person had to be taken so early in life, but he should know that his creations have become legend in my small group of friends! (We're such nerds sometimes) T3h_muffinator couldn't have put it better, May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for you loss. He was such an amazing innovator, and we thank you for bringing him up the right way. May he Rest In Peace.

Thank you for your kind words. To be quite honest I cannot take any credit for what he was like. He just turned out to a wonderful young man, all I did was love him. I am so deeply impressed by your comments here. This world was something were were not part of. I mean I knew all his friends but the WWW. world was his alone. Now I get to know some of you and get to have a peak to this side of him. He was very talented in so many ways. Computer was only part of his life. He was a talented guitar player and did wonderfully in his studies. For some reason his life was meant to be this short but he seemed to have left a big foot print!
all I did was love him.
But that is what makes the most difference, you know?
sorry I came on this topic so late :-(..

What I hate most, is that quite often, its of a person, who you just want to smile, sit back, and watch what they come up with next in life. Doesn't quite matter what the passion is doing, its just the true spark of creation: Science, Music, Art, Technology, and a truly unique creator, is a gift to us all. Its sad that he was lost so soon in life, to something as disgusting as cancer. I for one, have lost too many as it is in my life, from essentially the body malfunctioning. I deeply feel for the loss not only in terms of your family, and your son, but the loss of true raw potential.

Apparently, someone on eBay has submited hatsuli's Instructable guide word for word as their own work.
Not only is this illegal, hatsuli cannot defend himself! It's disgusting.
Please help by reporting it. Thank you.

Wow. I had just seen his 'Ible for the first time today, and was going to comment on how awesome it was, and how it's inspired me to do the same with one of my dead Atari 2600's. :( RIP man.

That's too bad. I think a timeline would be cool also, fwjs28. I hope that hatsuli is in a better place now, telling people in heaven how to make things from old NES boxes. At the same time, I hope this wasn't a nasty joke played by someone.

Reading the comments in the nes PC instructable and i was upset to hear that the author had died. I've favourited his instructable, i'll get around to doing it as it's way cool. Retro FTW! Rest in Peace man, you've left a little bit of yourself on this website. I'm sure when ever people boot up their nes PC they'll think of you . Too many people are snatched away from us too soon. RIP - hatsuli

We need a place here at instructables to remeber all of the great Makers that have left us. A virtual memorial wall for our fallen. The Makers amongst us represent the best of humanity and their passing should be mourned by all. RIP hatsuli

I think this shows how great of a community this site is. Not like MySpace or Facebook, but like an actual community where people know each other and if not at least are kind to each other and give positive input. Thank you ewilhelm for making/running the site. RIP hatsuli
Forever let this be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity of what will cone if we do not take the quest for cancers cure seriously. I never knew him, but his one instructable tells me he was a great inventor.

My condolences to his family. I remember seeing his instructable back when he originally put it up, he's maybe one of the reasons i registered as a member and not just some guy who looks at the site everynow and then. Well miss you man.
