Guy Stuffs Entire Video Game System Into Retro Controller


This one has been around the block a time or two, but considering you have absolutely nothing else to do on a Sunday, you might as well dust off that DIY kit and get to work. What you're looking at above is a genuine (albeit modified) NES controller playing a bona fide classic on a laptop.

Amazingly, all of the software required for such a marvelously good time is stuffed tight within the controller itself. Take a step back and digest that -- your very own NES emulator (with ROMs), shoved inside a Nintendo Entertainment System controller. Does it get any more awesome than that? Hit the read link to start building your own and let us know. Video of the action after the jump. [Source: Ed's How-To's Via Hack-A-Day]

Play Nintendo Games on iPhone

Nintendo on iPhoneThe first thing hackers do when they break a closed system is try to get it to act like another system. More often than not that system tends to be the much-beloved Nintendo Entertainment System.

Of course, the iPhone is no exception.

A group of intrepid developers has ported an NES emulator to run on Apple's touch screen handset. The first version was painfully slow and had no sound, but an update is already available that brings the emulator to a usable level. Controls are handled via an on screen representation of the classic NES remote.

Installation isn't for the light of heart, but there is currently no other way to get your Mario fix on the iPhone.
