SoI have a lot of old consoles and some extra cash laying around and I was thinking of getting a domain name and starting a mod/homebrew ebay store/website. Then I began to wonder is it legal to sell moded videogame consoles over the web?

hmm its kind of a gray area, but loads of people do it
have you done much moding?
ya i have been doing it for about a year now and i have became quite good at it. I have a modified dreamcast, 2 modded n64, 1 modded nes, 1 modded sega saturn, 1 modded sega genesis, and these are the only ones i could remember. And each of these have 2,3, or more mods done.
any pics?
modded nes eh? whats the advantage of that? :o
To answer dark savior: I have some pics being developed and when i get them back I was going to make a thread and show them.
To answer Kando: Some of the advantages of modding a nes is to allow you to play games without blinking, to play imports/ your own carts, and just make it look cool!
I saw a NES with a custom case complete with a window on top.
ya i saw a couple of cases like that, but i want mine to be different so i was thinking of getting someone to airbrush a design onto the top:)
Its only legal if the modded console doesn't use modified official code in anyway or is determined to be used in ways already known to be illegal *caugh **playing pirated crap*. Cosmetic stuff is nothing to worry about, since you can mod pc cases all day long and sell them as well. *edit* unless the cosmetic mod uses copyrighted characters, emblems, etc.Quote:

a moded nes sounds like something i would buy lol
ya, if im lucky their will be alot more people who have the same feeling as you:)
I'm currently modding my NES for stereo separation and putting a gold-plated connector in.
I find stereo sound is cool but i like trying to do new mods, dont get me wrong stereo sound is cool but I think there are alot cooler mods out there:)

First what to you mean by Light-up controller mod?
Also what other mods do you have on your nes?
The one where you make the nintendo logo on the controller light up with red LEDs.Quote:

ok now I know what you mean:) Also Do hav a url where I can find inscructuions for this?:confused:
I don't know a URL, but it involves taking off the bezel from the top, and cutting a hole. You take power from one of the pins in the controller, and you can use a resistor or two for the LEDs.Quote:

since ipod shuffles arnt expensive, i can learn modding with it and just move up
hey guys, if you want to write any hardware tuts, that would be great. We can host them in the dc guide section.
