NES controller for your iPod

I’ve wanted to do something like this for quite a while. I found this one during a visit to one of my favorite hardware hacking website, instructables.com. By embedding a PIC microcontroller into an old NES controller you can convert it into a replacement for Apple’s iPod remote.

Imagine loading up Linux for the iPod and playing Doom with this bad boy. You’ll be the talk of the entire airplane. Either that or they will think you’re a terrorist and hold you back to ask you a few questions.
