Shame the clock hands are so old fashioned looking... they should be the more modern straight hands rather than hands that might appear on your grandparents kitchen clock... Oh well.. good effort

Someone should mock up a NES Crono Trigger label and stick it on to that, just for comedic value.

Very cool. I had an MP3 player that I had gotten for free a while back by signing up for some sort of trial AAA style auto service and, low and behold, some of the buttons eventually crapped out on it. So I did what any video game freak who loves to case mod and solder would do and decided to take it apart and rebuild it into a NES cart. Of course, I would never butcher any of my classic titles, but I saw a few carts for sale at Gamecrazy for $1 a piece. When I went to purchase one, they weren't listed in the computer, so the guy just gave it to me for free. The player has a bright blue LCD screen, 2 gigs of storage, a small joystick for navigation, usb and audio jacks, and I used the a/b/x/y buttons cannibalized from an old knockoff third party Sega Dreamcast fishing controller (don't worry, I still have my real Sega fishing controller) for the four buttons that had crapped out originally on the player (volume up/down, menu and repeat). Works a charm and draws constant compliments. Runs on one AAA battery, located in the slot at the bottom of the cart (easily replaced, but otherwise secure. In case no one on here has noticed, it's been my avatar for a while now. Cool clock!

PS- it's the mediocre at best MLB for NES, if anyone cares to know. 400% magnification should give you the general, blurry idea.
