Full Version: NES Controller Cellphone

So I'm currently ripping off some guy's hack of placing a cell phone inside the housing of an NES controller. See his at: http://www.diyhappy.com/nes-controller-cellphone-mod/

I saw it, I liked it, and I realized that this is something I can do with my busted NES. (I'm also currently modifying the actual system into a cache for various things).

Right now I'm waiting for some glue to dry before I cut holes for the power button, charging port, microphone and speaker. When everything is done I'll post pictures.

BTW, I'm using a Nokia 6010, and I'm having an issue fitting everything in similar to the original guy's issue. Gotta grab some electrical tape on my way back down into the basement.

Edit: Pictures...
My camera sucks... so...

I swear there isnt a glue on earth that will hold those start and select buttons on. Tomorrow I might try some industrial-strength epoxy.

See the raised circle thats reflecting the light? That's where I installed a clipped nail because I forgot to position the phone inside so that the power was flush with the case.

And in this picture we see my abortion of a hole for the charger to plug in.

It didnt come out very good at all, but it didnt come out nearly as bad as I feared. It works, you cant really tell how bad it is at a quick glance, and I'm getting a new phone in a few weeks anyways. Well, maybe I'll keep this one with the new carrier if no one I personally know absolutly hates it. At least for a little while... lol.

Thank you captain obvious. I already stated that my camera was a peice of crap, but it only cost me five bucks, so I dont care.

Five bucks?! What kind of world are we living in?! My vintage Canon PowerShot A80 cost like at least $300 at the time of purchase!

We are living in a world where a guy can buy a shitty camera for five bucks. What the hell is your problem?

The problem I have is that there is no more regard for quality in this world. My dad just bought a $1,500 Japanese-made Canon DSLR, and here is you buying five dollar cameras that take pictures like a piece of [bleeped!].

Why should you care how much I choose to spend on a camera? I dont need a good camera. I dont want a good camera. I want a camera that costs me five bucks and takes pictures that give a generally accurate representation of what I'm photographing.

Lol, you could probobly find one cheap on ebay. I'd send you mine, but I'm still interested in finding a system that works, and if I can, I've still got a controller left.
