Media reader in a NES controller

by Ryan Block, posted Mar 14th 2006 at 2:09PM

For today's edition of fit-something-inside-a-NES-device, we present unto you the NES controller media reader. Yes, it's a rather simple hack with limited functionality, but it's certainly a hellulvalot more attractive than most of those $10 readers you'll buy at your local computer shop. And what's more, it brings us another step further to completely encasing all workstation and entertainment center devices in NES boxes and peripherals.

A USB Hub would be a cool thing to have disguised as an NES controller...

OMGYES! I want! I'll put my mac mini in one with the media reader hooked up to one controller port and a normal controller on the other port.

I really am not into this whole modding thing, besides adding a couple of LCD fans to my PC, since I am retarded when it comes to working with my hands. However this seems simple enough to imitate and I might want to do something similar.

Cheers!
