NES Controller Mod Unlocks With Pure Nostalgia [Mods]

The "security code" installed on this NES controller flash storage mod isn't going to keep anyone from accessing the files inside, but that's not really the point: You see, the code in this case is one of the most well-known codes in all of video game history. The Konami Code . Hell, even ...

NES Controller Flash Drive Secured by Konami Code [Mods]
Kotaku — ... out, that's rather like picking 1234 for your ATM PIN. Because the first thing anyone would do with an idle, disconnected NES controller is punch in the Konami Code out of boredom. Joe shows how it works, and so I assume the code can be changed up. But whatever its utility, it's damn cool and a triumph of mod ingenuity.

NES Controller USB Flash Drive with Konami Security Code
Tech Blog — ... How about an NES controller that's been modded into a USB flash drive? That's exactly what ProtoDojo concocted, but with a Konami security code -- (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A) -- feature added in. Video after the break. Again, there's no real security here, but in any event it's miles ahead of what most people use to secure things that are really important to them. [via Gizmodo - Protodojo]
