Modder shoves NES into an NES cartridge, makes us feel sort of uneasy

Looking to put those dust-collecting tools of yours to use here on Independence Day? Then we've excellent news, you introvert you. Rather than grilling up some red meat (or chicken, or tofu, whatever) and handling highly volatile explosives, we have no doubt that modder "darkeru" is spending his day playing with his brand new toy: a Nintendo Entertainment System... crammed within an NES cartridge. We'll be honest, this one does feel a little incestuous for some odd reason, but we greatly appreciate the ingenuity. Hit up the read link for more pics.

[jason @ Jul 5th 2008 8:47PM]

I wonder if you have to blow in it to make it work....

[Kayne Neugebauer @ Jul 4th 2008 4:30PM]

This may be amazing... but my favorite part of NES is the way the controller sits in my hand...

[Blaine Oliver @ Jul 4th 2008 11:39AM]

It makes me feel like sticking an xbox into an xbox CD and seeing if that will work :P

That is sick! Are teh NES components really that small???

[bugmat @ Jul 4th 2008 11:58AM]

Sweet! Damn how small are NES components to hold in a cartridge??

[joe @ Jul 4th 2008 12:41PM]

as mentioned above, he used an NES-on-a-chip. The actual nes components are pretty bulky, the nes on a chip is just one of those 99-in-1 handheld game systems.

[Aguiluz @ Jul 4th 2008 1:02PM]

There are knockoff NES hardware clones that are small enough to fit in a controller.

[thedesolate1 @ Jul 4th 2008 12:01PM]

Some people got WAY too much time on their hands...

[vdogg89 @ Jul 4th 2008 12:09PM]

he probly just gutted a gameboy color and stuffed it in there

[TimeyWimeyStuff @ Jul 4th 2008 12:21PM]

I still prefer this one

[ShadowKain @ Jul 6th 2008 5:35PM]

I prefer what one acutally. Who wants a teeny screen anyway? Oh wait im talking to a crowd oh people who love the Eee PC even though you have to squint to edit your photos...

[ShadowKain @ Jul 6th 2008 5:35PM]

that* one

[Lowest Ranked @ Jul 7th 2008 1:00PM]

If your'e looking to edit photos, then EeePC is not for you.

[Vincent @ Jul 4th 2008 1:26PM]

ugh i want instructions on how to do this

[Ace b @ Jul 4th 2008 1:36PM]

Wish I had the talent to think of these things and actually do them.

[Gofthick @ Jul 4th 2008 1:37PM]

Sweet! Now put it in a NES and see what happens.

[Mikey @ Jul 4th 2008 5:29PM]

I'm pretty sure it would rip a hole in time and space

[Big Ed @ Jul 4th 2008 10:33PM]

You'd get a get a Wii.

j/k

[Nightmare @ Jul 4th 2008 3:33PM]

I havn't seen clak in a while he must be bitching on another site... its a shame this seems his forte. :-(

[Aaron Wanker @ Jul 4th 2008 4:25PM]

Hmmm... I thought I remembered people saying that Clak was a troller, I personally never saw him trolling, but it seems that you are, I've also seen several other make snide comments like yours. If you really couldn't tolerate him, why bring him up?

[Abuzar Baloach @ Jul 4th 2008 4:43PM]

He was banned. I was too!

[Nightmare @ Jul 4th 2008 5:27PM]

You've got it all wrong he knows his apple stuff, i miss him you, and yes he started many many fights i nver got involved but i watched.

[andy @ Jul 4th 2008 3:47PM]

dude im totally tripping ballzzzzzzzz and this makes perfect sense..

[Bunson @ Jul 4th 2008 3:51PM]

I'd buy it.

[cyzoonic @ Jul 4th 2008 4:54PM]

Booo

Alkl he did was butcher a OneStation http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.827

[TavisJohn @ Jul 4th 2008 5:22PM]

If that is all he did... Than BOREING!
It would be cool if he had a cart socket on the back to play real carts... Or SOMETHING interesing, but just replacing the case with a larger case...BOREING!

[volatileacid @ Jul 4th 2008 6:50PM]

If that's all he did? For starters, your spelling is atrocious - brush up on your English before trying to demean someone else's efforts. I don't see any of your efforts making Engadget.

Boreing = Boring

[Nate DiDonato @ Jul 5th 2008 12:59AM]

He also added a screen, and not to mention the fact that I've never seen this done before or even contemplated it.
It makes me want to rip up my PowerJoy and see what I can shove it into.

I do have an extra NES advantage stick sitting around and a spare LCD screen or two...

[AlexL @ Jul 5th 2008 1:55AM]

What happens when you insert this cartridge into...itself?

Division by zero oh shi-

[sr1329 @ Jul 5th 2008 1:39PM]

Sick!

[Jack @ Aug 15th 2008 12:13PM]

Thats pretty cool though.
