Holiday Project 2009: Sega Genesis to iPhone Dock Conversion

December 23, 2009 — 20 Comments

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!
