Raven,
There are multiple modifications (some not being
mods) that can do part or all of what you are asking
for. Again I am at work but when I get home I will
hopefully be able to find some files about that stuff.
I know you can make it a front loader into a toploader
but you will have to do some cutting of the chasis.
Easiest route would be to get a Famicom and the
Nintendo liscensed 60-72 pin converter. In fact, if
you're lucky, they used to include them with some of
the first games, you'll just have to do some looking
and have good weight judgement to find the cartridges
with them. I'll see what I can find when I get home.
