Fully functional NES gets squeezed into a cart

Fully functional NES gets squeezed into a cart photo
     Mods

What's a Fami-Card? You're looking at one, ladies and maybe-gentlemen. What you see above is the master work of a French modder named Kotomi. He actually took an NOAC (NES in a chip) and modded it into a copy of Super Mario Bros, resulting in a fully functioning finished product. If you check out the gallery pics you can get a better look at the cartridge slot, power and reset buttons and other details.

Kotomi may have too much free time on his hands, but at the same time you have to admit this beats the hell out of trundling over to your friend's house with your original NES jammed in a messenger bag to play vintage games. It kind of reminds me of the way that cell phones keep getting thinner and smaller....maybe I can somehow have the NES built into my brain in the future, so then I can just think of a game and be playing it. It's sure to confuse people around me, but who care about them if I can rock Kid Icarus while I'm in line at the DMV?

[Thanks Adam!]

That's some serious skill! Do you still have to blow into the cartridge when it doesn't read correctly?

I'm surprised it still takes up that much room. A DS does more in less space.

What if you bought 2 and plugged one into the other... would it be like dividing by zero?

I'm speechless. What's the next step. A fully working Gameboy Color the size of a cartridge?

Takeshi, I am fully expecting you to deliver on that gameboy.

I want to see it go the other way. Instead of a cart becoming the system, a system becoming the cart. A whole NES devoted to say 3 or 4 games, and you put your Cart-sized NOAC in to it to play the "system".

Or maybe a gamecube retrofitted into a nes case. Full of Win!

I wonder when they're going to come up with an SNES in a bagel. That would be something to write home about.

Dear person who made this:

1: Can you make me one. I will give you money.
2: Can you make mine out of a Friday the 13th cart?

We already have hardware much more powerful than an NES that can fit inside of you.

The real problem there would be the inputs and the outputs.

And apparently you want a TV inside of your eye.

I dig it.
