    Default Hot-rodding an old-school famiclone

    So I have an idea for a project and I wondered if anybody has tried anything similar.

    I want to grab a non-emulator old-school famiclone such as a Dendy or this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-Genius...cAAOSwPcVVv8IS

    I want to toss the chip and replace it with one of these: http://mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=RP2A03

    And finally I want to replace the connector with one that will take actual NES cartridges: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-NINTENDO...kAAOSwmLNTmZMN

    If I'm correct, what I will be left with is functionally an NES in a weird Euro package (accounting for PAL video, etc of course).

    Does anybody have any input or think that this is an intriguing/bad idea? Anything I'm not considering?

    Yes, I could just ebay an actual NES, but what's the fun in that?

    Oem Nintendo style connectors are gone wear out over time or to will have to hack it up to make any use out of it
