Nes controller with 8gb memory / leds lighting up the logo
All hail The Nes, nothing can be done to make it better. So I thought, this is so cool! I've only gotten smiles whoever has seen it. People have put leds in like this before, and usb memorys, but not like this and not with a regular original controller.

To do this you need:
- Nes controller
- Small phillips screwdriver
- Hunting/fishing knife, kind of
- Led's and resistors of you choise (colours/strenth)
- Glue (I used liquisol)
- Solder iron and
- Usb cable x2
- Mini usb hub

Step 1First of all

First of all
Open it up, and cut it up.

Unscrew all the screws from the back (six of them) and gently peel of the black film on the front. I used a knife to wiggle it bit by bit under it.
Not tkae the knife and make a hole just like in the picture. Make one in the centre a first, then move your way out on the sides. Hold the front up, with the film, agains a light and you'll see how much more you need to carve out. Be careful with this step! If you do it wrong there is no going back.

PLEASE NOTE, that depending of what usb hub/cables, memory etc you use you will be needing to cut out more plastic in the controller.
