Super Nintendo (SNES) still has fans worldwide – Who doesn’t love the retro consoles? Thanks to SNES emulators, the Super Nintendo is still alive and kicking in some corners of the game world.

Emulation of the SNES is now available for a number of console platforms. Snes9x for example is a portable, freeware SNES emulator. Snes9x is coded in C++ for Linux and Windows. Many ports of Snes9x are easily available. SNES 9xGX specially, is a Super Nintendo emulator for the Wii based on the SNES9x.

But this hack could be the very first homebrew emulation for the Xbox360. The innovative project used the SNES9X GX emulator ported to the Xbox360. OS dependence was bypassed by using Libxenon (which is a library for writing programs for the Xbox 360). The end result, as the video shows is a success. The GUI may not be eye pleasing but you sure can get those old games back into action on your Xbox360.

This gaming hobbyist has shown that there is more than one way to take a photograph. He has found a unique way to get something more out of his work as an x-ray technician.

His “camera” of choice is an X-Ray machine of course:

Using his spare hours, he has stacked up quite a collection of X-Ray photographs of gaming consoles. From Wii-motes to a PSP and even X-rays of cartridges, he has captured them all in black and white.

The hobby is uncommon and almost weird. The effects though are extraordinary. The X-Ray photographs look like detailed blueprints. Take a look at his collection of photographs on Flickr and you will surely appreciate his work.   They would definately make for some cool wallpapers too.

If taking unique snapshots is your game, then look through our collection of photography hacks.

Three Ways to Become a  Mobile Gamer:

Method 1: Modded Xbox incorporated into a Scion TC

The brain of the project is a Xbox soft modded with linux running XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and a 250gb hard drive. This project will show how you can take an Xbox and have the on/off, eject/close buttons, and the dvd drive in the center console for your convenience.

Method 2: Integrating A Game Console Into A Vehicle

From stealthy systems to the outrageous (building a motorized Transformer in the trunk of your car is definitely out there), there are as many ways to get gaming into your ride as there are games to play.

Method 3: Throw a PS2 in your car.

BONUS: Play Xbox Live in your Car
