OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I am amazed how large the 5200 console is. I know you can store the controllers etc but I was wondering has anyone done any 5200 case mods? I bet a 5200 in a smaller form factor would be pretty sweet. If anyone knows of any and has links/pics/video that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremysart Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Seems the whole storage compartment could be removed. I would imagine it would be fully possible to fit all of it into a 7800. Just like the American NES, the cartridges are over sized, like a bag of Doritos, you open it up and not even have of the space is filled. You could probably fit a multi cart into something a little bit smaller like a famicom or vic 20 cart, or even just integrate the PCB right into the whole dealio.
