Trust me, this guy's true overclock mod looks much much easier. Jamming that CD-ROM drive under the cartrige cover looks tough.

Why not go the local goodwill and get a NES for $5. Nothing is quite a sexy as the NESpc.

Can't use this for a PDA but as for your PC emulating pleasure, try this.

I think the parent has missed the whole concept of, well, hack-value.

I concur wholeheartedly. A year ago I built one of these (although I came up with the idea before I'd ever heard of this gentleman's project). It isn't very fast and it overheats sometimes, but you know what? I have a Nintendo Entertainment System with a fully functional computer inside of it, that I built with my own two hands and one brain. Maybe I could have bought one pre-built off eBay, but having my own is priceless to me.

This guy is my new hero. Not necessarily because he dumped a whole ton of kit into his car, but because he looked at a situation that most people would take for granted and thought, "how can I make this work better?" That's the spirit of a true hacker, if you ask me.

This gamepad is probably my favorite. It's a little harder to use than the standard PS2 Dual Shock controller, but the retro value more than makes up for it.

Along with the PS2 -> USB adaptor and a NES PC (although I had built mine before I ever heard of this gent), it's almost like having a real NES, and every game ever made to play on it. =D

Disclaimer: I do actually own all of these products. Not shilling.

The NES PC has been done, and looks pretty cool...
