I'd like to gut an NES, and put the Wii internals inside, replacing the disc drive with a hard drive installed into an NES cartridge. I'd like to position the Wii so it matches up with the power port of the NES but the board is about 1/4 inch too long to fit in comfortably. Any tips?

Yes because I have done this recently. Repurposed Wii boards into old shells I had around. A SNES and an Atari 2600. In both cases I simply removed the power port from the board. Trimmed a hole where I wanted it. Hot glued that sucker in there and soldered leads back to the board. It leaves more options inside the shell.

    You think you can only get contents for those devices on the official stores?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    oh cool I figured it out. I had to set the PVID for the ports in question. I thought simply having the correct vlan untagged on that port would do the trick. Welp.
