New uses for old NES carts project I - the TetrisHub!

[eshbums]

After mutiple cleanings, scrubbings and going through a Game Genie, I could not get my Tetris cart to work. It was a lost cause.

But instead of just pitching the little guy, I wanted to find a new use for it.

So I took apart a Belkin USB 2.0 travel hub:

and took out the guts.

I opened up my Tetris cart, removed the card from the plastic casing, cut and filed down the plastic in a couple spots, and made a 3 port Tetris Hub!

Here's the top view:
