Fresh hacks every day
[Joe's] wife grew up playing Sega games and he wanted to help her unwind by reliving the experience. Since the work computer she uses when travelling isn't a good place to install emulators he built this plug-and-play emulator inside of a Sega controller. We've seen this type of thing a few times before (even with XBMC in a SNES controller) but there is one thing we hadn't thought of lately. … [Read more...]
The creator of this project started off with a 7" tablet he received from a coworker. The screen was horribly smashed from one corner spreading out through the entire surface. But the hardware inside still worked, including the HDMI out port. He ended up transplanting the tablet hardware for use as an emulator. After a bit of sizing up it was determined that the tablet hardware would fit inside … [Read more...]
You can look and look, but you won't find a Super Nintendo inside of this retro gaming rig. [Webrow] is giving his vintage hardware a rest, and taking this all-in-one game emulator suitcase wherever he goes. The machine at the heart of his build is of course a Raspberry Pi. You really can't beat the ubiquitous board for cost, power, and hardware extensibility. An LCD panel from a broken laptop … [Read more...]
This RFID card has a lot of nice features. But the one that stands out the most is the ability to learn the code from anther RFID tag or card. You can see that the board includes an etched coil to interact with an RFID reader. This is the sole source of power for the device, letting it pick up enough induced current from the reader to power the PIC 12F683 seen on the upper left of the board. … [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...]
Fans of the Star Wars series will immediately recognize these illuminated vertical bars as a piece of the style from the original movie. They decorate the MAME cabinet recently installed in this home bar. You've got to admit, it looks amazing. But we're always on the prowl for the build log and this annotated 46 image set has no shortage of goodies. The project started off as a very ordinary … [Read more...]
You can leave the TI graphing calculator at home thanks to this web-based TI-83 and TI-84 emulator. As with pretty much all emulators, this depends on a ROM image from the actual hardware to work. But if you have one of the supported calculators (TI-83+, TI-83+ SE, TI-84+, or TI-84+SE) you can dump the image yourself and this should work like a charm. [Christopher Mitchell] calls the project … [Read more...]
