Fresh hacks every day
[Hailrazer] over on the Made by Bacteria forums was a bit tired of all his consoles cluttering up the space underneath his TV. No worries, though, because it’s actually fairly easy to combine a Gamecube and an N64 into one system that looks very professional.
While [Hailrazer]‘s Gamecube was left reasonably complete, not including the addition of a mod chip … Read the rest
The first month of [WoolyDawg5's] summer break went into building one Nintendo emulator to rule them all.
