Fresh hacks every day
[Hailrazer] built a handheld GameCube so he could take his gaming with him. The final product is quite nice, providing a large display and about 3 hours of play time on the lithium polymer batteries. Starting with the case from a Kidz Delight Datamax game, he used Bondo ABS cement and plastic bumper filler to alter the case but still provide a professional look. The display is a five-inch … [Read more...]
[Rafael] tipped us off about a "case mod" he completed for his PC. The email he sent provides no details and the link just shows five pictures of his computer in a "dead file" container (we're guessing he doesn't want to be an Internet sensation). What we get out of this is that he took a corrugated plastic box meant to house old files on shelves, and thew a set of computer parts inside of … [Read more...]
We extend our congratulations to [airz] over at the ben heck forums. He put together a mod that fits an emulator into an original NES cartridge and utilizes a butchered original NES controller; and he did an amazing job! He is using a cheap but full featured emulator board. It comes with 4 gigs of memory but also has an SD card slot. NES, Game Boy, and Game Boy color ROMs can all be played on … [Read more...]
[JoblessPunk] recently finished his what-a-psp-should-be mod. He's internalized a camera and added a switch in the body to toggle between using the camera or using the USB port. There's an additional analog stick, and added charging functionality via the USB port. He's also packed in an additional 32 GB of flash memory. The device is of course running custom firmware which facilitates the … [Read more...]
[Ben Heck] posted and update on a project he's doing for THQ. This latest Xbox 360 laptop is being built as a contest prize. It's based on a 60GB Xbox 360 and is slightly larger than the previous laptops. It can accommodate a standard 360 hard drive without modification. An Xbox Live camera is included as well. We hadn't realized how many Xbox 360 laptops [Ben] had built. There's the original. … [Read more...]
[David Wiggins] has sent some info on this DeWALT M-16 gun mod to Toolmonger. Inspired by a picture of an earlier version back in 2003, he decided to go a step further. He already had the M-16 and only lives a few miles from a DeWalt factory service location so he was able to get original stickers and battery casings. After some careful dremmeling and a layer of Krylon, he had the DeWalt-16. Lets … [Read more...]
[CyberPyrot] and [l0rdnic0] released their spitfire mod on acidmods for XBox 360 controllers. It involves some fine wiring, but a relatively low parts count. The heart of the mod is a PIC16F84A, a crystal for the clock and a few passive parts. It took me a little while to find it, but the code for the pic hiding under the parts list. For a lengthy demo of the mod in action, you can check out this … [Read more...]
