I've had this idea of putting an NES in a .50 cal ammo can for a while now, and I've finally got a little time to mess with it now that finals are over. My friend told me about benheck.com, so I figured I'd get some input from you guys.
So far I've been using vomitsaw's nintoaster video as a guide, so even though I'm a total newbie to the technical stuff, I think I'm doing ok.
My questions for you guys are about layout. Here's my general idea: lay the board flat against the bottom and put the cartridge connector next to it. I'm hoping I'll have room to put a piece of plastic over the board and be able to use the space above to store games/controllers.
So, what do you guys think?
