Look I drink...
but I also love cool tech gadgets. Awhile back Aaron brought you coverage of a NES/iPod mod and I think I have found you another one. As soon as I caught this, I knew that el Dtoid comunidad would want it. Hell, I want one of these bad, but I have a few problems. Here is list of what you will need:
IC sockets, NES Controller, Dremel with a cutting bit, Sharp knife, Soldering iron and small gauge electrical solder, Desoldering pump, Flush cutters, or wire cutters, Needlenose pliers, Standard Ethernet (CAT-5) cabling, small gauge wire, 3G or 4G iPod, and plug for the remote jack on the iPod.
What is the problem you ask? I only recognize, "NES controller," and "Sharp knife." Luckily, the awesome people at Indestructables have made a full walkthrough with pictures for all of us noobs. It may look like robot porn, but I assure you, if you follow it step by step, you will have your very own NES controller iPod remote. Click here full the full walkthrough.
There are a ton of other cool things on the site, so be sure to check it out. They also have a awesome robot mascot that is maybe a tech cousin of our own Mr. Destructoid. Be sure to send in your pics if you put one together.
Totally useless, but still sweet.
It's cool, but too much work for me. *passes out in a mountain of candy wrappers and sun chips*
Okay, NOW I think this whole thing has gone too far.
hmmmm......i have some of that stuff, perhaps a trip to radio shack is in order...
hey, this is a guess, but is "WWTZD" short for "What Would Tay Zonday Do?"? Do I get a cookie and the Captain Obvious award?
your correct
lol nice
Uselessly hot.
WWTZD?
TZ would rain chocolate, duh.
why
thats not cool, thats absolutely idiotic and a waste of time
he gutted a NES controllers for what?
do you think that using this device is easier than rubbing your thumb across an ipod surface? fucking kid wasted a perfectly good relic. fuck him and anyone who finds that useless contraption awsome.
a relic? there are over 200 million Nes contrllers in the world. Not really a hard to come by item.
Not a relic in that sense ron :P but thats our childhood in the hands on some fool who is only trying to gain some geek cred.
I just hate seeing people turning a TG-16 into a fax machine is all. Now if somebody actually did something cool with it thats be another story. I dunno, cure kids with TB or something, or like those soldiers in iraq who use 360 controllers to dismantle roadside bombs and such
iPods don't need a wired remote.
JESUS JUST LOOK AT THAT BEAST!
STR33T CR3D denied.
You know what I appreciate about your posts, Ron? They always have a lot of links in them. Yep. Links. Lots of 'em. That's hot.
That is not hot or necessary, in fact, it's downright ugly. Where's the design, the finesse? It just looks like a cord hot glued from a iPod to a NES controller. Even if it was functional, it's unattractive. Maybe they should just stop with these monstrosities.
damn, so many haters. but just imagine, when you need to change tracks on you ipod, wouldn't it be so awesome to bust out an NES controller from your pocket and start fiddling with your ipod settings with it? the controller is bigger than the ipod itself, which makes it all the more badass. and then if it is compatible with the ipod games...hot damn I think I just soiled myself...
oh and Rainbowblack, I guess we are now enemies...
when i first saw this on the original site i was so excited cause i thought they meant you could take your little nano IR wireless remote and change it into a nintendo controller and i was so gonna do it but they i saw that it was wired and for the older model ipod and i then proceeded to cry and be unhappy :(
still a neat idea though , very very cool stuff
you know what would make this totally amazing
You press U U D D L R L R A B START SELECT,
and it would play the song
"U U D D L R L R A B START SELECT" by the Deftones.
NOW THAT WOULD BE A SWEET FUCKING MOD BITCHES!!!
AFK guys going to staple an X-box to my DS so Ron can blog about how cool it is it :P
get the napkins ready vol
goddamnit. its not stapled. wtf did you write on Dtoid today? I tried. some people just like to break shit and make it do funny thing. I made a dildo out of a cd player and some chicken wire once.
Pics, please.
