Now you can use your new NES drive to hold your NES emulator and all of your illegal NES roms.

I made something very similar before finding this instructable and made a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ss_-pbTzgQ - A "portofino" drive fit much better inside the cartridge. The next step would be finding a way to store the USB cable inside as well.

You could also use a CF card and appropriate adapter to get this setup. If I manage to get hold of a cartridge I can bear to part with I may pull this off. Get really creative and you can make the NES multi card reader!!

I would have left the card edge still there and made the usb port on the top side . just an idea.

I think a laptop drive with the guts of an enclosure. The boards in them are really small. Newegg.com has alot of them for under 20$
