    Awesome indeed.

    Are you sure that’s a NES cart in that small box?

    icurafu – it isn’t official hardware, there were three boards, plus a controller board and a cartridge; the controller was reduced in size, one of the three boards was removed (through rewiring), components on the other boards were relocated or removed and the cart board was soldered directly to the cart pins. Quite a lot of work but made everything far smaller!

    This is all very interesting, how did you begin learning how to build and ulter electronic games like this?

    Freakin amazing, are you going to sell these? I’m sure there might be legal issues, but I’d love to have one.

    Thanks! No, not going to sell as they take so long to make and are more complex than normal portables, also can’t be sold with any guarantee.

    No, there are no legal issues in any form, using original hardware; no emulators. No different legally to “Pimping your ride” or putting hub caps on your car or changing your graphics card in your PC; or whatever. This modding work I do is totally and completely legal and above board.

    I believe it is you who fail if you were indeed referring to Arkanoid at 2:35

    Experimenting at the moment with vacuum forming, so may in the future modify this system to be integrated into a gorgeous casing!

    One day, I want to connect Dreamcast, GameCube, Mame(PC) and Amiga together in a box, and let Amiga be top of the box. The system I will use (if I one day create this) is DOS, and every system will have it´s own unit. So we say, a:\ = Amiga, b:\ = Gamecube etc.

    This triggering me to learn how to do my project.

    Are you an engineer of some kind? You certainly know what you’re doing here, I’m quite impressed. How did you add the texture to the casing?

    No, not an engineer at all. Added texture with a small brush. Yes, roxystar88, this is fairly ugly in retrospect, rebuilding into a gorgeous case, give me time.
