Multi-platform console mod defies practicality, in a good way

We've seen multi-platform console mods before, but none quite like this whimsical creation by one "Bacteria," which effectively turns each console into a cartridge that can be swapped out at will. That was apparently done to make the system portable although, as is often the case, "portable" can be a matter of opinion. It also falls a bit short on the "multi-platform" part of the equation, as Bacteria has so far only managed to turn an N64 into a cartridge, but he promises to create carts for plenty of other systems in the next few months, including the SNES, GameCube, PlayStation and, yes, even the Jaguar. Be sure to hit up the read link below for a video of the system in action, as well as a detailed account of the building process.

Good, I hope he can finish it soon. I like various platforms, but I would like a different design, it's ugly

meh... it's alright... JKKDARK is right though, it could have a better design.

Mods like this tend to be ugly and big because the original components are used and cannot be shrunken down.

He's planning on adapting an Amstrad GX4000! Rock on!
