Holiday Project 2009: Sega Genesis to iPhone Dock Conversion

I gave myself a little gift this Christmas Holiday by setting aside some time to convert an old Sega Genesis System into a functional iPhone 3GS Dock.

Good times. Good times.

I’ve documented the process through some photos and videos.

I did goof twice though: I broke the top part that opens/shuts. I had to fix this with a small paperclip. Secondly, I realized when I was done that the dock that I did have was a first generation dock and didn’t work with my 3GS version. Sad. I had to goto the local Apple Store to buy a new one.

Check it out after the jump!

Fun!

    If you get two features on LifeHacker back-to-back in the same week, you might need to switch careers. :)

    Hmmm… I have no words. Is this a boy thing? I'm thinking yes.

    Man, talk about memories. But my game machine was an Atari. Loved that system! Moon Bounce rocked!
