We all know that emulation download sites are disease-riddled virtual cathouses, designed to inject your unassuming computer with any number of viruses, spywares and trojan horses — that’s why we can’t help but be intrigued by this recently unveiled USB adapter for SNES game cartridges, which was lovingly crafted by modder matthias_h.
The adapter looks incredibly easy to use — plug in a game cart, then boot or copy the SMC file found therein. Just like that, you’re playing your favorite SNES titles — and without contracting incurable cases of e-syphilis from “russian porn sites.” Check out the video demo after the jump!

Last week, you may recall our sister site
DS Fanboy frothing over a
Zelda-themed Xbox 360 faceplate, a fine, one-of-a-kind piece of fanwork that eventually sold on eBay for the criminally low price of $31.
At the bottom of said auction, creator 'worldwidewebbs' (who has
a bit of a knack for these, it would seem) promised us a Mario version within the week, and has duly delivered. Impressively, this fantastic
Super Mario World faceplate (which, as we type, is still only at $21.50) boasts moving parts (the Piranha Plant emerges from its pipe at the touch of a spring-loaded button) and even a sound chip that plays the jaunty Mario theme.
Sir, we applaud your talents! While simmering beneath the surface with
envy.

Oh . . . my . . . God! Have you guys seen the Metroid Custom Wii Mod yet?
The guy who created this custom Metroid Nintendo Wii is no stranger to custom console mods, but he has totally outdone himself with his latest model. Using 15 LEDs, the Metroid Wii has quite simply the coolest looking glow I’ve ever seen. As a huge Metroid fan, I wish I had the money to buy this thing. I could only imagine how it would feel playing the newly released Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on this newly minted custom Metroid Wii! Like being in gaming Heaven! 
Check out his previous Custom Zelda Wii work and then give a look at the auction page for the Metroid Custom Wii Mod so you can consider whether or not it’s worth spending your hard earned $900 bucks to snag yourself this once-in-a-lifetime, unique-in-the-world Wii! Only 3 days left!

We love
Metroid Prime 3 and all, but perhaps the best thing about the game is that it inspired this jaw-dropping Wii mod from the guy responsible for the equally jaw-dropping
Zelda DS Lite and the astounding
Zelda Wii case mod. Basically, we've developed TMJ from looking at Ramon's mods.
This one is the coolest one yet. In addition to the awesome backlit,
custom-made Samus Aran emblem, the case mod integrates a Wiimote charger in its illuminated stand. The Wii disc slot glows green in imitation of Samus's visor; even the Wiimote and Nunchuk are painted the metallic green of Samus's arm cannon.
Like the others, this modded Wii is being auctioned off on eBay, and 15% of the selling price will go to Penny Arcade's
Child's Play charity. In return, 100% of the awesome modded Wii will go to the buyer.
Check after the break for a couple of choice closeups! And then check your wallet for the
hundreds of dollars required to buy this.
