Some guy put a Nintendo 64 in his Wii

Really, can you people think of another thing?

That troll is soooo used that its not doing its effect due to overuse

Sadly, I didn't mean it as a troll. The last time I started up my Wii was to run Homebrew channel for a few episodes of House I downloaded and my friends wanted to watch. There's just nothing I really want to play that's come out recently. I wouldn't mind a copy of the new Guitar Hero, but the cost is a bit prohibitive and I keep hearing about early instrument failures.

Over at my friend's dorm, they do keep a N64 set up and get a lot more use out of it than I do my Wii with Mario Kart and GoldenEye.

Sure. And my left nut hurts. But why should anyone else care? (Hint: they don't. Keep it to yourself next time.)

I don't care about 99% of the comments left on blogs, that doesn't mean he has to keep it to himself. Let him talk. I understand his point, we just don't have to agree. It sucks that he threw $250+ away if he's not going to use it. Poor choice on his part.

Anyway, cool mod. I'm going to do some research and see if I can figure out how he managed to fit it all in the Wii housing. That was probably pretty tough.

It's just you.

um.. could it be that the Wii is a DVD disk based system, not a zip drive based system?....maybe! That slot woudlnt be big enough to fit one of those "disks" in.. would be too fat.

Also, not to mention, just because the guy is putting inferior hardware into the case, doesn't mean the hardware is smaller. He's not making new chips, he's putting the old gear into the Wii case. That means it would be damn near impossible to put a 64 and a DD into that small little case.

Also, DD's are expensive, and very rare. Not only would it drive the cost up on the unit by several hundreds of dollars, but I think there would be a line of angry collectors outside his door ready to stab him with pitchforks for destroying a Nintendo system that had such a small production.

Pretty sure you're right. An N64 board is pretty big. I'm also pretty sure the Wii hardware is already packed inside the tiny case. It's just a cosmetic update.

Boo.

From the auction (a truncated version, but you get the picture):

"It is a Wii case that has been modified to fit a n64 inside, and function perfectly well! There is a power on switch that was a xbox 360 left trigger, that was modified to be a switch! there is no reset button, but that is not even needed anyways. the wii case is in great condition itself, and has many holes made for wither a port, game slot, or ports! the power adapter goes directly into the back where there has been a port installed specially for it. then the TV cables go a an angle on the side shown in the picture."

Sounds like it's been MODIFIED a fair bit to me. Hence, I'm sticking with mod.
