There's something powerful about the disrespect and use of power tools with the electronic components. It's like deranged prototyping.
All of his projects are like that stage of prototyping where you finally have a base design, you build it, realize it will need multiple redesigns, then try everything you can to get the current revision working.
A series of bold hacking together with hot glue choices
I was a bit nervous with how close he got while cutting some of those pieces
gross, its playing with itself
-Dremel?- Nah.

I love that it’s clear that James can be incredibly precise and he could have made this look so clean and polished. But instead, he’d rather smash things together like some kind of mad scientist wizard because it’s more fun.
There is method to this 🔥madness🔥
It’s giving Mekboy so hard.
You have to know how to do things right in order to know how you can get away with doing them wrong.
He's taking the Wade approach of DankPods.

That was an elegant solution for a problem that never should have existed in the first place. Well done.
What do you mean “shouldn’t have existed”?! This problem was as inevitable as the one about playing Gameboy games portably, which was elegantly solved by putting the Gameboy cartridge in a Super Gameboy player that’s slotted in a Super Boy, which is an unofficial portable SNES.
No way that problem could’ve been avoided!
@@MageBurger 😂
Everything about this makes me so uncomfortable yet I am 100% here for it
My manz juzt woke up and CHOZE VIOLENCE
the tearing apart the console and cutting the cartridge was so bad
As someone who's only ever handled boards to build a pc, compared to how i baby those parts i was shocked anything worked at the end
Ayep, as someone Who works in electronic repairs this makes me cringe so hard, There's so much board abuse i can't even wrap my head around It.....yet i love every second of this
Came here to say the same thing.
The electronic component gore and the blatant disregard for safety go so well together.

As someone who does electronic repair as a hobby I very much appreciate actually showing off some of the struggle & frustration of something just not working for some reason rather than pretending it never happened and editing the video as if it worked first try.
I think that's the best part showing the struggles. Once it ends up working, it is the best feeling for someone who likes tinker.
It's cause he's not here just to teach you, he's here to take you on an adventure 🎉
This is currently my favorite video ever
Thanks!!

This feels like a dankpods video except where he knows too much about electronics
and fast placed + no background music
I’m not a dankpods viewer, but this is more in-line with what I like watching than dankpods is. You can definitely tell that he’s using the same sorta style though. Not a complaint tbh. If it works why fix it.
i think james and dankpods are friends or something
@@CrashFan03That's the rumor.
@@chiken9913This.
This takes the notion of, “Congratulations, you just played yourself.” to a whole new level.

IM SORRY, YOU MADE A GAME LITERALLY PLAY ITSELF
puts a different spin on the term “you played yourself”
i love playing -with- myself

I am absolutely horrified by your skills. Even my wife laughed in shock, fear, and no small amount of outrage as your precision angle grinding took out that square of plastic to make room for the mobo. Very nicely done!
"Oh no, now you'll be able to tell it's a homemade project!" was by far my favorite joke. Definitely following you to see what you do next!
The OurainboNES playing itself at the end was utterly horrifying.
What ungodly creation has this man brought fourth
"That's close enough I reckon" is the most real DIY quote ever. It also perfectly sums up this video.
Normal youtubers: "i will use cad to model a new shell with slots for the motherboard and controller port, and a cartridge opening, then i will 3d print the adapters and plugs for the shell

This falls into the category of "I don't want to do this myself, but I enjoyed watching you do it."
You couldn't pay me to do this. Why? Because I'm sure I couldn't have fixed all the issues along the way.
@@burlapknapsack I know nothing about electronics so I would just cry trying to attempt.
This honestly would be torture for me to figure out, and I consider myself quite skilled in tech
You not only fit an NES in a cartridge, but you also fit a full cartridge inside and played the cartridge on a cartridge. Genuis
but best of all: nes ball
I agree @GamemodePC 😂
Cartridge on a cartridge on a cartridge on a cartridge

most chaotic James video yet
James videos always feel like a fever dream.
So, a Normal Wade (Dankpods) video then?
Imagine if James got into science. He would be brought to The Hague, but he would get stuff DONE.
Mostly with hot glue😂
@@Malocalypseand lots of plastic balls
At this point, being brought to hague is akin to receiving a medal of honor.
omg it’s the eas guy that uses that one ws4k simulator
I was thinking the same!
Started dying laughing at 1:46 when he said “Ow, hit me in the eye” I love how carefree he is with the tools he’s got
The way this man asserts dominance over the electronics is a thing of beauty. Just like a master painter where the brush is a power tool and the paint is hot glue.
You should see him fix cars over on garbage time...
James might be even madder than Wade is ((look for donkey van carpeting if you want god reference point)
Yes it plays itself! That was the topper. Made me smile at the audacity of such a thing.
This is MrGreen levels of knowing a lot about what you’re doing and willfully doing it terribly and I absolutely love it
I'd give this video two thumbs up if I could, however, I did try following your guide here, and that's now a physical impossibility...
This is my second thumbs UP!
Wade: PKCELL
James: NES ball
Yessss, we need a curio pile over here, too
We need a war to kickstart the exonomy
Wasted opportunity to call it a NESticle
@@adoggewokepupper 💀
The masterful knowledge of tiny electronics, juxtaposed against malicious misuse of powertools and jerryrig case design is just youtube-gold.
I do hope that one of your creations gets a nice well designed case at some point, though. Would be fun to see.
You know before this channel I sometimes wondered how James and Wade are friends... I understand why now very well
I feel like i just watched a mad scientist create something.
That was awesome 🤩
definitely mad, not so sure about scientist
Why doesn't this have more views??? An Nes cartridge that can be played by an Nes and able to be turned into an Nes to play Nes (and Famicom) games! Truly a genius "why not? " nonsensical way of looking at things. Loving it 🙃.
Call it the Nintendo entertainment cartridge or NEC
confusingly not made by NEC
@@SuperM789 Yeah was gonna say. NEC made the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16, so the name's already sort of taken :0
the “Neck”
@@koolaid33 That was the joke ^^
@@koolaid33The name is more already taken because NEC is an actual japanese computer chip manufacturer. I don't think they do much other than computer chip making anymore. I'm actually not sure that they are even still around.
"Can your GAME play GAMES?" Nice one James. Lol 😂
Yes , but can your game play games including itself ?.. James is on another planet
lol
I am a software guy, and this "I came in like a wrecking ball approach to hardware" combined with the fast-cut editing was something I have never seen before. This is very interesting. Congrats on making it all work. Amazing.
On your previous video showing the creation of a portable SNES, I stated that I had never seen such a thorough defiling of a machine before, and applauded your efforts. I am here now to say you have once again completely outdone yourself, and I look forward to seeing your work in the future. Godspeed, tech body horror man.
I swear to God this channel is a rollercoaster of emotion. I wanna scream and cry when i see how he rips the console apart but still wanna watch it to the end since i think the idea is interesting and cool 😂
The best part is the end with the connector. It looks so wrong but is just brilliant! The embodiment of "if it looks stupid, but it works, it is not stupid anymore!"
Man after watching 8 Bit Guy and that whole scene be so fussy with making everything original, this was cathartic. Also you're hella smart.
I popped onto youtube at just the right moment, it seems. The idea of a self-contained NES game feels like madness, and it is amazing that it works.
Hey James!!! I just wanted to let you know that over here in Spain they're showing your PlayStation video on the screens of public transport buses. Couldn't find a way to get in contact with you so I shared it here on a new video
Proof?

James is me when I take apart old or cheap tech except he actually does something with the stuff
The immense power level James displays whenever he just shreds something with zero regard for being careful and it still working at the end is amazing. It's like watching a master chef filet a fish with the blade coming dangerously close to their hand but like, evil and fucked up
This isnt Jerry rigging anymore, this is James rigging
James, I've just finally made it over from the Dank channels and I love this stuff. There's something so wonderfully twisted about making a game play itself. Please keep up this very important work.
This was pure chaos, and the payoff at the end of the NES cartridge playing with itself was too good.
Just when I thought it couldn't get more chaotic, the jumper adapter to plug it into itself happened.
10/10.
My wife: "What? It already works! Why are you still making more stuff?!"
Blew my mind
I was surprised it still worked with all that cable inductance added to the circuit, but I suppose the clock isn't all that fast. There's a good chance the FCC wouldn't like what emits from that adapter though...
I was actually very proud of myself for predicting that specific deranged bit before it happened. Kind of had to happen, y'know? :3
Best entertainment I had tonight .. Thanks James !!!
I love James jerry rig energy
Other console modders will be precise and careful
James just grabs a screwdriver and starts ripping shit out
Screwdriver? I was more concerned about the angle grinder 7mm away from his fingers
1:50 "I'm going to have to very carefully remove that"
*takes out angle grinder*
Well, he was careful, and it looks... ok
My type A personality gets a heart attack at watching you go headfirst into this without so much as a plan and with little to no care at all. I love it!
i feel like this is breaks the geneva convention on multiple levels.
I don't know if this video counts as a warcrime or as a crime against nature
@@MandrakeFernflower probably both tbh
if I was an NES game I would be horrified.
James is a Gem, and his pure skill in making something while being utterly destructive is incredible.
I was just about to comment "I would love to see an nes cartridge playing itself." Then I got to around 12:20 and I was filled with joy that James had the same thought.
I went through all the stages of grief watching this and I'm not even that tech savvy
I’ve never been so afraid of someone putting together a electronic project yet so fascinated at the same time
"My game cartridge plays game cartidgeeesss!!!!"
- James, 2024
I was hugely confused when I read the title. Now I genuinely believe that James could make a legitimate Frankenstein's Monster but built solely out of electronics.
These videos make me physically recoil but the creativity and problem solving required to be able to cobble something together and make it work is why i watch.
I laughed during every step of the construction, the surgical care you apply when getting components from the boards and cutting the plastic is unparalleled, bravo
I've never seen something so professional yet so chaotic at the same time.
I feel entertained by this content because James is so knowledgeable and confident and at the same time a madman and crazed genius that I'm both scared and completely comfortable with what's going on. I trust the process even though I'm winging in my chair. Thanks for the content mate!
One can only appreciate the surgical precision this man has with a anglegrinder.
I'm usually very delicate and careful when I open up electronics. This man just rips it open with a screwdriver and it still works.
I fucking love it!
You can be a lot less careful with stuff when you know how to repair them. Seriously, a lot of my "electronics anxiety" went away with just basic soldering knowledge and equipment.
I was horrified and almost offended at the brutality of the first teardown... then I saw the rest of this and was LOL'ing so much. This is amazing! LOVE IT!
I love all the attention and care taken with the cutting and fitting of this project!
I'm honestly a little disappointed he didn't put the cartridge on a toploader and played a game onto the cartridge while it's being played.
same
Darn. Saw this comment AFTER I suggested the same thing.
Making a cartridge a console was one thing, but then taking it one step further and making it play itself was just "chef's kiss"
James channel is so amazing, its such a blessing you found your way into making youtube content
Call it the "Self-Cartridge". It plays itself.
I could do one better. The "Khaled".
In all honesty, it seems that James put a VTxx system in a NES cartridge.
it plays with itself
@@Code7Unltd I didn't know game cartridges could be disk jockeys
@@Zordyn I guess that also makes sense
Most underrated channel on RUclips. Your amazing James, I love all your projects.
Thanks a bunch!
I think that, if it had been a smaller game, like the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cartridge, you would have had enough space to put everything a little lower so you wouldn't have had to remove that dent from the back of the cartridge, and thus you wouldn't have faced the issue of not being able to insert the cart back and having to drill a hole to make it fit back.
Jame's Channel is best described as subtle craziness
The comedic timing of you saying “I’m gonna have to carefully remove that” and breaking out the circular saw cracked me up somehow

@@AdriaticTokoru only if you didnt grow up with one. when the playstation 2 came out the old playstation became the playstation 1. marketing and shit, and the internet refined the terminology and broadened it to mean devices outside of peoples' sphere of being influenced, but the first playstation in the series of two consoles that you are keeping up with the release of as a child? You're not calling it "classic" you're calling it the playstation 1. its not a car and children dont have timeframe ranges to know what classicness is
anyway, rant over. im not mad at you.
Saw this video linked in a Discord server and, not knowing your channel or work, I was expecting the usual RUclips recipe Martha Stewart tier of perfectionist presentation and curated cleanness. I have never in my life been happier to be wrong. THIS is the kind of energy I can get behind, tearing stuff's guts out, accidentally breaking it and having to fix it again, just the true spirit of Tinkering With Shit. I definitely don't have anywhere near the knowledge and background you do but I do tend to open and fix my own shit a lot and this is exactly my speed in terms of the focus on functionality first, and totally embracing chaos.
Loved every minute of this and will be subscribing to check out any future videos!
This is like a low effort mad scientist, taking quick shortcuts and having to fix minor mistakes as they go. I love it.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen someone make. A nes cartridge that can play other games, let alone ITSELF? Great job, man. Here's a sub.
You know, I always forget how destructive disassembles can get in these videos, so I'm always in a bit of shock whenever I see James breaking things apart with usually very little concern.
The chaos is why I am here, it's therapeutic to see such wonton destruction instead of precision work for something that works.
This man takes all of the fear out of electronics.
I am scared of you and amazed at the same time by your confidence, lovely!
You pushed this to its natural conclusion. You adressed every stupid what-if that came into my mind. I am very happy to have seen this.
That was the most chaotic thirteen minutes I've ever witnessed and I'm all for it.
10:38 that good sir is definitely a Nesticle
13:05 "NES Ball :)"
Aside from the overwhelming panic I feel watching a game (presumably not a reproduction cart) getting chop shopped, this was very entertaining.
Chaotic good?
No, no, no. Chaotic AMAZING!

The way he uses that angle grinder seems like he could pull off eye surgery using only a claw hammer.
