Awesome NES Case Mod Stuffs System, Screen into Cartridge

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

We've seen modded NES systems before, but BenHeck.com forum member "airz" earned some serious geek cred on Thursday by cramming all kinds of goodies into an NES cartridge.

Airz took a foreign-made portable media player and hacked an NES controller to replace the player's buttons, then stuffed the whole assembly into a Super Mario / Duck Hunt combo cartridge. He then cut out an opening for the 2.8-inch LCD screen and the end result is a handheld NES cartridge capable of playing a complete library of NES games using the original buttons, while also serving as an MP3 player, FM radio, picture viewer, audio recorder, and more.

After going through 3 game cases, 2 controllers, and 2 media players to make the mod work, Airz said he's selling his awesome mod to recoup his losses.

Why couldnt you have made something like this for all your loyal fans from back in the day? Even if you sold it for $50 I think people would have bought it, maybe a special recap addition or something. Sure the games are outdated but for all those games as well as all the other stuff that thing can do, why not?

I must have missed the discussion about this but what happened to the mod article thingy on the last page of the magazine? Not enough submissions?
