I took apart the entire DS, sanded off the paint and rubbed it down with brasso to give it a nice polished finish. Then I got a NES controller, carefully took off the face logo and touched up the odd bits with my girlfriends nail polish on the inside.

I didn’t have to paint it as the DS case is naturally light grey. I cut some black vinyl then using an exacto knife, cut the details out of that.

I went for the style of the original DS with the black middle, but didn’t quite get there.. still it looks pretty good. I cut the button holes in the top of the lid and stuck the NES buttons and Start and Select buttons through, but the Directional Pad I simply glued on with super glue.

I wouldn't mind doing that to my DS if I was buying a DS Lite instead of trading for it.

Instead of trading in my DS I have now (or eBaying it) when the Lite comes out, I might just try something like this to have for kicks and pay for the Lite in full.

The inside is ugly and looks nothings like i would expect a 'nes ds mod' to do :|

 

[olimario]

That is a horrible mod.

 

[Mejilan]

Yeah, the inside is an utter travesty. Outside's pretty fugly too, actually.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I always did want that NES themed GBA SP, but never got around to getting it. Nintendo needs to make a NES themed DS Lite!

 

[muttyeah416]

the outside case picture is really awesome but the inside looks janky

 

[Fuzzy]

That's horrible, the Super Famicom one is MUCH better.

I expected the inside to look like it was made from a nes controller!. That famicom mod is AWESOME

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah I guess the inside isn't too awesome, but I definitely like the outside. And it'd be more for nostalgic reasons beyond anything. BTW awesome != good looking.

That's horrible, the Super Famicom one is MUCH better.

That's amazing! Would look better with coloured buttons, though.

 

[jett]

sex

 

[Larry Bird]

not awesome

 

[blame space]

It doesn't even really look centered.

 

[tedtropy]

He stuck a NES controller on top of a DS. At any point did he stop to ask himself..."why"?

 

[sky]

Terrible!
There's too much black, needs to be more grey. The NES only used black as a small accent.
And why wouldn't he make the inside buttons red, etc?? Very strange...

Still... he tried, that's more than I can say .

 

[cvxfreak]

SFC one rocks!

 

[bastard666]

I've made my Nintendo DS Famicom mod (DSlite is coming and I wanted to give me a reason to keep my "old" and sexy JPN Nintendo DS Pure White).

I've ordered from eBay this skin
Nintendo DS skin - Burgundy
from vinylskins:

and I have used on my sexy Pure White only some parts of this skin!



Now this can be my perfect companion for other two famicom babies sitting in my house:

1)

2)

Waiting for DS Lite.... :lol
