I've been looking at NES hacks online, and I've noticed people taking old NES carts and turning them into iPod Touch docks. Unfortunately, they use the charging wires on top of the carts, and it looks pretty messy to me. I was doing a quick measuring job by putting my iPod Touch on the label side of old old Super Mario Bros. 3 cart that doesn't work any more, and it looks a LOT better! Would it be possible for someone to make me an NES cart iPod Touch dock if I gave them my SMB 3 cart for a donation? I figure if you put an open plastic box on the label side with a charger plug on the INSIDE of the cart, it would look better.
Also, I was wondering if an NES compatible dock is possible, letting you plug the iPod up to your NES/Famiclone system, or in my case, my Twin Famicom with an NES to Famicom adapter? Maybe make an 8 bit NES program for the playlists? If not, I'm looking at my Super Gameboy and wondering if that would work better, or at all? Not saying I want one (yet!), just wondering if it would be possible?
Well you can do that mod yourself you just need to cut the cartridge and hot glue the cable simple :)
you want to play your ipod through your famicom or just charge it? :upsetroll:

Short answer - possible. But you also have to donate your iPod Touch.

Technically - possible. Would you like text interface or GUI?
