NES Cartridge Turned Functional Console
If you grew up in the 80s, there’s probably an old NES cartridge, or two, laying around, but what if you could repurpose it into a fully-functional game console? We can’t exactly call it an NES console, as the device is based on a device purchased from AliExpress.



Put simply, the main PCB with the cartridge slot was removed from the AliExpress device and then placed inside an NES Golf cartridge. This required removing a few plastic bits inside before cutting holes for the controller ports, and then trimming them down a bit. Getting the console working on a TV required using a headphone-to-RCA cable.
