DIY: SNES Game Cartridge USB Hub

So, you haven’t been able to find that perfect USB hub to extend your peripheral horizons, yet you’ve been looking for what feels like decades. Forget about the middleman. There’s no need to buy a hub from a third-party as long as you’ve got some time, around $30 and a little technical prowess.

The SNES Game Cartridge USB Hub is versatile enough to be used as both a computer hub or just a standard gamepad for running all of your pirated classic favorites on an emulator. One of the coolest parts of a project like this is that it’s so personal. You can choose any SNES game you want. Pick your favorite or make it humorous (Shaq-Fu, anyone?). It’s your call. Check out a less “artsy” photo after the jump.

Arcade Goodness for your Wii

For only $60, you can bring the fantastic experience of owning a Neo-Geo AES to your Wii, without spending $200 dollars per game. The Virtual Console arcade stick is said to work with only a limited selection of games, so we can automatically assume it’s for the SNK games that are coming to the VC within the next few months.

However, there is good news for Neo-Geo fans who love waving the wand around on the worst console of all time.

Tired of searching your local arcades for World Heroes cabinets? Here’s your chance to get back into The King of Fighters and other SNK fighting games. So put on your Terry Bogard hat and prepare yourself for some serious hardcore 2-D fighting, not that other stuff.
