Fresh hacks every day
For a few years now, [Michael] has wanted to put the guts of a Game Boy Advance - the small clamshell version with a backlit LCD - into the classic and comfortable DMG-01 'brick' Game Boy. He's finally finished with his project, and we've got to say it's looking pretty good. The build began by excising the backlit LCD from an old clamshell Game Boy Advance and hot gluing it to the screen bezel … [Read more...]
What looks to be a stock brick Game Boy with two additional buttons is actually one of the coolest portable mods we've ever seen. Instead of the classic 1989 hardware, the interior of this Game Boy is stuffed with a Dingoo A330 portable emulation machine capable of playing Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and other 8 and 16-bit console classics. After a great deal of modification to the original … [Read more...]
Casemodding has moved far beyond the old portabalized Ataris and NESes of only a few years ago. Now, the new hotness is more modern consoles including the GameCube, Dreamcast, and the venerable N64. Two N64 case mods rolled into our tip line over the past few days, and we can't think of a better display of case fabrication and console modification than these two. First up is [Travis]'s N64 … [Read more...]
[Paul] spent his summer bringing an iMac G3 into this decade. There's plenty of room to work with since he removed the CRT which originally occupied most of the computer's space. The final project is much more powerful and since he preserved most of the metal mounting parts inside it remains quite strong. He started by swapping flat screen monitors with his Grandma (who incidentally runs … [Read more...]
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for the Nintendo 64 has a rather interesting feature: by entering the code RRDUAL on the cheats menu, it's possible to plug two controllers into the console and control each engine independently. This gives the game an awesome arcade feel, but dual-wielding N64 controllers is a bit of a burden. [Clarky] thought it would be a good idea to combine two controllers into … [Read more...]
Finally the 13-year-old on Battlefield 3 will get their comeuppance [Shawn] sent in his fully adjustable auto-fire mod for an XBox360 controller. It's pretty simple - just an ATtiny85 soldered to a button with a pot to adjust the rate and switch to turn it on and off. It could have been done with a 555, but this is good enough. Now one for the PS3 bronies [Capt-Nemo] loves and … [Read more...]
The Queen of Bondo is back again, this time with an adorably small NES portable, the HandyNES. When last saw [lovablechevy], she had just finished up her build of a Nintenduo, a build that stuffed an NES and SNES into a single box. The Nintenduo was such a clean build it would be a crime to let her talents go to waste, so [Lovablechevy] finished up one of the smallest NES portables we've … [Read more...]
