2042 upvotes in less than 24 hours on Reddit.

I don't know if somebody here submitted this video of Silius' work, but the entire world (myself included) appears to be totally blown away with this design.

Amazing, amazing job.

Well, I only submitted it to Hackaday as I haven't seen a mod like mine before. I'm surprised how fast it has spread and by the feedback it gets. I don't know anything about reddit but I guess 2042 votes in 24h is a lot?
Silius, it made the front page within a fews hours (I believe).

The only thing that ever makes the front page on Reddit are worldwide events, International news stories, and cats juggling chainsaws.

You have created something that has caught the imagination of A TON of people.

Congrats, your design is fantastic man.

That's an amazing job. I probably wouldn't have a whole lot of use for it myself, but it's still fantastic.

Yeah, this is very clever and awesome! I'm surprised nobody's thought of doing this yet; if they have, I sure as hell haven't seen it! Great work!

Here are some more details to the mod:

Materials:

LCD Screen: 10.4" 4:3 from ebay (ebay user digital_r_us)
Speaker with amp: I used this one. Any other mini speaker will also work...
Wheel potentiometer: Radioshack 10k
Game Genie
Case hinges (preferably with a 90 degrees stop)
Ribbon cable 36-wire

In order to place the LCD controller board underneath the NES motherboard I had to desolder the expansion port.
I cut the heat sink shorter to be able to install the cover later.


On the LCD controller PCB I had to desolder the power, S-Video and composite plugs.


Power for the screen is taken from the input of the 5 VDC voltage regulator, and for the audio amp from the output.


The cartridge bay is the original one from the NES. I just trimmed it and glued it on. Same with the Game Genie.
As the speaker didn't have volume control I installed a wheel potentiometer.


That's it - not hard at all (Well, it's easy to say afterwards...)

Welcome to the site Mike. You should send a PM to the OP to see it he is interested in selling. There's no need to bump a year old thread. 

Check out the faq and enjoy your time here.

Yes, that's me in my avatar.
