Mac Mini NES
March 1st, 2006 7:52 AM | by Christen da Costa
The Mac Mini NES is one of the coolest hardware mods I’ve seen in a long time. Someone managed to get a Mac mini inside an old school NES. Nothing special, I’ve seen bigger computers crammed inside a Nintendo.
The cool part? Once the creator adds in a circuit he found online, you’ll be able to plug your old school NES controllers into the controller ports and use them with emulators! Awesome.
Other neat stuff: the NES power button turns the machine on and off and the reset button ejects the DVD writer.
Note: the DVD writer is actually an external drive, not the slot loaded Mac mini drive! Duh :)

i wish that there was a cd addon for the nes in the form of a cartride wich will use all the chips like the lsi and mmc5 chipto screw anduse all the power of nes to play audio cd,s and video cd,s on it, asswell the sound will be very, soft,mono and cracky and the image colors will be limmetid but steels would be amezing for a nes.
also i would like if nintendo dit make a cartride to play all disk floppy games on it wich were designed to play on the disksystem.
