Retro Gamer Drive (Konami Code NES Controller Flash Drive)

I modified the original Nintendo controller into a flash memory drive with an arduino twist!

When connected to the computer the data is by default blocked. Only after the user enters the classic "30 lives" cheat code (Up,Up,Down,Down,Left,Right,Left,Right,B,A) of the original NES game contra, will the drive be unlocked and appear on the computer.
