Super Nintoaster plays SNES games, doesn't make toast
If you prefer video game consoles that look like common kitchen appliances (here's looking at you, PS3), have we got a treat for you -- BenHeck.com contributor Vomitsaw recently put the final loving touches on his Super Nintoaster project, which, as the portmanteau-sensitive among you have probably already discerned, is a Super Nintendo. Inside of a toaster. It's safer than it sounds (we think).
It's actually Vomitsaw's second toaster-based console mod -- he crafted a regular ol' Nintoaster last fall. Sadly, neither model has been able to fulfill its kitchen appliance destiny, and won't do much to conflagrate your bread. It's probably for the best -- all it takes is one mistaken slot, and you've got a golden brown, formerly priceless copy of Chrono Trigger, which we hear is actually pretty delicious with raspberry preserves.

1:01 - 1:08 creeps the heck out of me

Nice cross. Jesus died for your Snes.
John @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:06PM
This is pretty cool, but I think I like his other creations better.
I always want to build something, but just never have the heart to rip up one of my old consoles.
The most I've been willing to do is convert an original Xbox controller to USB.
Rhamsey @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:19PM
if only it could still make toast, that would be one heck of a machine.
BlaqueBeird @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:52PM
"Man, good team work on that last level. Toast?"
Mike @ Mar 22nd 2009 5:23PM
Nice, Blaque.
Havok @ Mar 24th 2009 9:03PM
It was the only way to avoid horrible snes cartridge tragedy or horrible toast in snes tragedy, whichever one works.
MaxShrek @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:19PM
You can narrow down the disturbing parts at 8 seconds? I stopped trying at 4 minutes.
Linkario @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:19PM
1:01 to 1:08 = 7 seconds
MaxShrek @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:43PM
no need to be a technical dooshbag, is there?
FluxWaveZ @ Mar 22nd 2009 4:15PM
Pointing out that you can't count isn't being technical.
MaxShrek @ Mar 22nd 2009 6:09PM
Nah, you're probably right. But most of the video still disturbs me.
dillyxdally @ Mar 23rd 2009 12:13AM
1:01-1:08 is 8 seconds..... 1:01 -1, 1:02 -2, 1:03 -3, 1:04 -4, 1:05 -5, 1:06 -6, 1:07 -7, 1:08 -8.
you weren't wrong.
The Baron @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:45PM
AWESOME.
Zertoss @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:50PM
Is there anything modders won't shove a console into?
Nincodedo @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:01PM
Your mom.
We all saw that coming.
CubeGuy @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:05PM
Poop.
Sir Buzz Killington( The Artist formerly known as Jakka) @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:33PM
I do remember sticking my cartridge into her slot last night, so I'm afraid that not even she is safe.
F1 @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:55PM
Well at least she has rumble.
Zertoss @ Mar 22nd 2009 6:50PM
In this thread: Necrophilia. Thanks a lot, guys.
Sir Buzz Killington( The Artist formerly known as Jakka) @ Mar 22nd 2009 7:17PM
Awww...it hurts, it hurts...oh the burn!
Levi @ Mar 22nd 2009 12:57PM
I love console mods. I'd like to see a toaster that has NES in one slot and SNES in the other. That'd be one bigass toaster.
Also... this made me think... I wonder if anyone's done a one handed play through of Super Metroid? Best game of all time.
GuardianBob @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:06PM
VERY nice. It's too bad that it doesn't support S-Video like the original, as that affords you a much clearer image and you bypass the whole dot crawl issue that composite has.
Deathmessiah @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:08PM
You know what they say. All toasters toast toast.
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:10PM
Well, not this one.
Spike @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:22PM
damn it mario, you lied once more
Arikado @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:09PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he also modifed the SNES to use component AV cables instead of an RF cable. Very impressive SNES mod overall. If only it could still make toast though...
GuardianBob @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:13PM
Component cables would be red, blue and green in color. (Composite = Red, White & Yellow.) That would be just for the video signal, and he'd have to include some composite audio jacks for the sound.
Arikado @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:17PM
Yeah, thats what I meant I just couldnt find the right word. Thanks for the correction :D
bm @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:31PM
So you meant to say he modded the SNES to use composite? In that case, no, the SNES has always had a composite output option.
Shmil @ Mar 22nd 2009 8:01PM
yeah, nintendo has used the same composite outputs from the SNES to the gamecube, not too sure about the NES though.
mr mobius @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:49PM
If he wanted a console/toaster combo that could still toast bread, he could try an Xbox 360/toaster combo...
*prepares for down vote in 3...2...1...*
BlaqueBeird @ Mar 22nd 2009 1:55PM
It red rings when the toast is done.
"Awesome! Toast!"
"Aw damnit"
Killiam XXIII @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:03PM
Yeah, It'll look nice next to my PS3 George Foreman grill.
:-P
Levi (God Hand Defense Force) @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:01PM
First thing I thought of:

Weird. A lecturer referenced this exact comic strip in a lecture earlier this week about the psychology of child development.
Gabriel Lamarre @ Mar 22nd 2009 2:35PM
I guess that's the exception to one of Mario's most infamous quote : "You know what they say, all toasters toast toasts!"
Nook @ Mar 22nd 2009 7:38PM
man, I thought my gloss black SNES with blue LED was sweet. this shames me to no end.
wiilover @ Mar 22nd 2009 8:37PM
hahaha
GewurztraminerX @ Mar 22nd 2009 9:17PM
FRAKKIN' TOASTERS!!
The Heretic Ramza Beoulve @ Mar 23rd 2009 1:15AM
I just upped my nerd-cred by 10% because I got your reference.
Xanto @ Mar 22nd 2009 9:38PM
That's just odd, soon people will mod systems into everything.
Hey guys check out my toilet, it plays games.
crazy_nuts_2006 @ Mar 23rd 2009 2:22PM
i wish my 360 could make toast
