And secretly plug out the cable when the opponent is about to get a tetris… mwuhaha.

I wonder what doom is like on an 8×8 LED grid…

ah… the days of hacking doom 2 with 100,000 shots for everything and rapid-fire everything and then playing one on one against a friend and owning them at every turn by just spinning and firing the double barrel shotgun (1.5-2 seconds to kill a cyber demon with that setup). ah… the good old days. :-p

I can see this being interesting for beginners, I started with Serial DB9 crossover cables to play multi-player games in dos ;)

Screw the diagram, I can see from the picture that they switched the red and black wire on one end.

I use a small screwdriver or paperclip to pry back the retention clip, slide out the wires, clip them back in place and go.

On the one hand, it’s a good tutorial, complete with photos. On the other hand, it’s just a simple crossover cable! Do we even need photos for this, much less a full tutorial? It seems that the diagram alone is sufficient…
