I love this sloppy portable Nintendo 64 hack

g1

CyFus put a lot of work into this portable Nintendo 64 build. Those who frequent modding forums have surely seen better craftsmanship. However, I love this one just the same. Actually I find this more pleasing. I can see the love, effort, and time required for him to have put this together.  The globs of hot glue remind me that there’s a person behind this

Here’s a little insight on how it was built:

A plastic shoe box cut in half as the frame, the guts of an ipod video player, all original Nintendo parts, rumble pack, no memory though :/ and a dozen battery cells. I haven’t timed it yet but ive been playing with it all weekend on a single charge off and on. oh and lots and lots and lots of hot glue i think i used at least 100 sticks to make it solid

Xbox masquerades as an atari

This official portable Xbox 360 mod is an official creation of Atari to mark the 40th anniversary of PONG. Now that you’re drooling over it, lets sweeten the deal… you could win it! Head over to their facebook page to see what you’ve got to do, or whether you have to sell your soul or your first born.

Imagine the looks you’d get pulling this bad boy out at your local LAN party. It would only be better if it were actually a portable atari!
