Modder cuts SNES down to size
Until that fine day when hell freezes over we can play Virtual Console games on the DS, our solutions for portable SNES games are few (beyond any existing GBA versions, of couse). Barriers like that exist for modders to break, however, and that's exactly what one intrepid engineer did with an extra SNES he had lying around. It took a bit more than that, though; not only did he gut the elderly system, but he also incorporated a PSOne LCD ... oh, and a hand-crafted wooden case. Together? They form a semi-portable, mostly-handheld, mobile SNES you can carry around and show off. Head past the break to see it in action.

Awesome. Now only if we had a decent Snes emulator (or any emulator) for the DS.
And SnesDS doesn't count, even though it's the best on available. 90% of SNES roms have flaws big enough to render them unplayable.

That is so great,
I really love wood and video games. Is that weird? Someday I would love to commission all my classic systems to be done up in nice wood boxes.
Someday, maybe,

wood is totally luxury.
Gresso has released a high-end african blackwood & gold mobile phone and mp3 player and Minot has produced wooden ipod cases and have recently put out a beautiful iphone case.
other manufacturers have caught on too, Motorlola released a wooden cellphone in the uk.
I'd LOVE a wooden DS. how crazy would that be??
