The Loading Bay Tray

NES Game Cartridge Tray

With the motherboard only taking up half of the vertical space in the NES case, I was left with plenty of room in the top half for an idea to transpire. I wanted to put the small laptop sized hard drive inside a NES game cartridge and have the game cartridge sit in the original NES loading bay.





I separated the two parts of the NES game cartridge tray and kept the part the game sits in. There was a large plastic latch protruding an inch off the bottom of it. This would have been a potential hazard with the motherboard or wiring so I trimmed it off with the dremel.

I hot glued the tray to the inside of the top of the NES case exactly where the original one was located. Now it would be easy to load the "hard drive game cartridge" into the NES through the loading bay door.
