Cool Console Mods!
« on: October 25, 2010, 07:30:37 PM »
Just thought it would be cool to see what crazy modifications people have made to their gaming consoles:

Here's a crazy Dreamcast mod of a certain Star Wars ship:

I have not.  :-k

But now I have.



It's funny. I always hated these iMac designs. It's like they took the Windows XP Fischer Price look and transferred it into hardware. But, saying that, it really works on the Dreamcast.

Yes, they took the XP look...almost four years before XP game out.

Yeah, I meant to say "or vice versa" in my post. I wasn't sure when these Macs were released in relation to XP. In any case, the XP OS would match those computers quite well.

Here's my attempt:







I just made the basics, changed the red LED for blue, put some blue LEDs all around inside, made it silver instead of gray on the top half and put some blue bomber on it to finish it off. Nothing complicated you know, I wanted to start off easy and then I never advanced.. It is also fixed to play US-games but they run way too slow on a PAL-system anyway.

That's a cool looking NES! I would like a Mega Man 2 themed one that would automatically play MM2 when there is no other game inserted (kinda like the Master System does with Hang-On.) That would be cool! :)

James Rolph's toaster NES is still the coolest model I have seen so far. Don't have a pic handy ATM.
