HOW-TO: turn an NES cart into a USB HDD

By Christopher Grant


File this under "hacks of dubious value involving video games." If you've got a leftover copy of The Legend of Zelda* lying around
– and you don't mind destroying it — then you can follow this simple guide on how to mount a 2.5" HDD into a hollowed-out NES cart to make the nerdiest external hard drive case possible without blue LEDs. Needed: proprietary bit to open the cartridge, Dremel
(recommended), drill, 2.5" HDD, USB HDD adapter, and some free time.

*Joystiq does not condone destroying classic video games, like The Legend of Zelda; instead, please substitute other, less-valuable titles like Rush 'n Attack.
