    I had seen this done by someone else and had to try it for myself. Take an old Nintendo NES...

    DeViateD player. I made a template for the outputs, measured, drilled etc. and generally McGuyver'd it in there (boards had to be flipped, wires extended, new switches hooked up) only to find that it works just great The original power switch still works for power and the game reset switch opens and closes the tray. all other functions are controlled by the remote. All I have left to do is fill the original controller port holes with a dark gel to cover the IR sensor and route the power from the power led on the dvd control board to the led on the NES sitchboard. I highly recommend the ordeal to the technically adept...it keeps the chops up.

    Time, yeah I have that but it really didn't take too much of a day for this one. I used to do custom car audio systems in the 80s-90s so the old skills come back as soon as there is a challenge. The biggest help was my pc for the scanning, printing etc. so that everything was laid out correctly before the job began. We've come a long way since the 60s when the electronics mags would print construction articles with pcb artwork and state that "any reputable photo shop should be able to copy these prints for you to whatever scale you desire". Comparatively, "the stone age".

    Even more impressive would be a modified Game Cube DVD! Top loading!
