NES Cartridge Game Hack

 

Darkeru posted his NES Cartridge Game Hack in the Ben Heck forum. He has done a great job of fitting it into a standard cartridge and making it playable with a normal looking game pad layout.

"as you can see, i rigged up some tac switches into the right formations so i can use the pads from a nes remote, then connected them to a ground i found and then to the appropriate contact points for each button. on the bottom are the n batteries, snuggly next the start and select tacts. the innards are fairly crude looking but it works. the rom cartridge can be seen on the top half of the cartridge, had to move the crystal over. although u cant see them, there are about five capacitors on the other side i also had to move to make a slimmer profile. as for the screen, it was just a matter of getting as much of the ribbon out so i could move it to the correct spot. theres some hot glue on the cover to hold the lcd in place, and some more here and there to hold things.hot glue is wonderful isnt it? i have some left over room in there but thats ok. i already have an idea for my next project and i can say that it will stay true to the original NES concept"

  1. WOW Hacked gadgets has really gone down the tube like 1 poest every 2 days with week old articles from other websites….


  2. @Curtisbeef

    You are such a troll, one post every two days is the pace they have always had, and you cant name even one blog with 100% original content.


  3. Hack a day and Make have all these posts weeks before Hacked gadgets.

    and this site used to have like 3-4 new things a day…. what happened


  4. Hi Curtis,

    Thanks for the creative criticism, I am sorry to hear that you are thinking that the quality of the site is slipping. The content on the site has always attempted provide something for all, could you describe the type of articles that you enjoy reading?


  5. Hi ya i wasn’t trying to be a dick sorry if i came off as one. I enjoy the DIY type post for actually hacks most of the recent post seem to be showing off new technology’s and products and hacks that are a little out of the reach of your basic hobby hardware hackers. Now im not saying that’s a bad thing but would be nice to have some simpler hardware hacks(not like “man builds tank in garage”) posted every once and a while. Obviously we would all like original content some tutorials and such… I guess im a little sick of clicking on links and just seeing a video of something that looks cool and has no schematics no instructions and doesn’t exactly help me “Hack” Gadgets 🙂

    I check the site many times a day and love the site its just gotten a little slower recently.
