Working NES squeezed into ... an NES cartridge
All right, we'll admit that headline is a little inaccurate. The heavily modified Super Mario Bros. cart shown above actually plays Japanese Famicom carts (like the not-at-all-bootleg Super Bros. 5), not the slightly larger American NES carts. Semantics aside, we're sure you'll share our sense of awe at the accomplishment of fitting an entire video game system into what, at one point, was used to hold the data for a single game.
All the pieces are there, believe it or not, including A/V outputs, a svelte power switch, and two controller ports sticking out at the bottom of the cartridge. The machine seems like a one-of-a-kind hack, and doesn't look like it's going to be sold any time soon. It's a shame, too ... we' d love to get our hands on one of these, if only so we could plug in our Flash Memory PowerPak via an adapter to create the ultimate NES-cartridge-shaped hacking monstrosity.

N64 in a N64 cart. That'd be too much awesome to stand though. The thought of it alone is making me giddy.

Where can I buy? Friggin' awesome.

That is the best mod ever in the history of everything.
That was also the best post chain...
... up until here.
Then you have the people for whom nothing is ever good enough. Seriously, Ibrislai, why do you even wake up?

Wake me when they fit a Gameboy into an original Gameboy cartridge.
mcatrage @ Apr 22nd 2008 9:26PM
Seems like a waste of a good game though.
slipknot0129 @ Apr 22nd 2008 10:36PM
now they need to put a nintendo ds into a nintendo ds cartridge.
Young_Nastyman @ Apr 22nd 2008 11:44PM
now that will really impress me :P
Poisoned Al @ Apr 22nd 2008 11:47PM
I really must get hold of a system-on-a-chip piece of tat, becuase I would like to try something like this.
vgxtremist @ Apr 23rd 2008 12:10AM
Impressive Star Fox...er I mean kotomi. :P
Schmobu @ Apr 23rd 2008 12:47AM
even though this mod is absolutely cool, I think that the connectors should have been on the mouth of the cart so it looks like the carts are kissing.
Jansperus @ Apr 23rd 2008 1:37AM
Now they need to do the impossible: put a PS3 into a PS1... or even inside an original Xbox would do. Hell, even inside my SUV.
Green_Ogre @ Apr 23rd 2008 6:55AM
The main issue with this is that it only plays the japanese famicom games. If it could play the regular American NES games, like the one it is made out of, I would buy this in a second.
Shannon @ Apr 23rd 2008 8:20AM
Oh wow, that's incredible! Do want!
Superstar90 @ Apr 23rd 2008 8:51AM
NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!
