That looks incredible!

So it's hardwired to a 4-score?

thanks! yeah, I couldn't figure out how to put a controller adapter in the case that could sustain the force of "plugging." if you dare read the rambling plans section of the site (and believe me, you seriously dont want to unless yr very bored at work) it was tough enough to make a sturdy power unit.

Awesome! I just did a bunch of mods to my NES and I was considering doing something like this with the four score as well.
Looks great.

Apparently he doesn't like zapper games.

I was wondering when you were going to post this. I saw it in your sig, and in the chat a few weeks ago. Glad it finally came together! You should have condensed it into a smaller form factor or made it vertical. That would have been cool. Just wait till you see what I'm working on .

You can't use a zapper on the four score?

THAT, sir, is amazing! Your site for it is also well done, very clear and concise! You know what this means, of course? A clear Four Score is your next endeavor! That and making about 40 more of these for NA folks!

no on the zapper, yes on making more. damn thing cost me WAY too much, I'm thinking about making another one (this time with the NES logo lasered in the front faceplate) for auction.

already working on a clear 4 score! I also have a working 2 plug model using the cemented plastic to take the force of the controller, but it's in it's infancy stage, and i have to find out how much force a cemented piece will withstand. we'll see.

I love it. It would look pretty cool with the x-mas carts.

Maybe some finger holes in the side to be able to squeeze the plug in without making the case take the force?
