Console Hacking

Posted by F1u on April 13, 2008, 10:47 p.m.

So basically i suck at gamedev. Im taking up console hacking/modification as a hobby. I got a book on making many old gaming systems portable, and am getting a soldering iron and solder and other tools for my birthday.

I'm really excited, because the book is by the best console hacker in the universe, ben heck, so it should be good. Im really excited, thankfully i only need to wait until next sunday to start making portable versions of older consoles, althought it will be even longer before i start actually getting one done, because it'll take me a while to learn how to do some things. I'll post some pictures on here in the future of some of my projects and when(/if?) i get one done, i'll make sure to post a picture or even a video demonstration of it.

Hopefully, if i make one thats good enough eventually, i'll sell it on ebay, and make a little money to fund more projects. It should be a fun, but hard way to earn a little extra cash. I just haven't blogged in a while, so i felt that i should update everyone on whats going on with me, not that many here care but, yahhhhh.

I'll be sure to blog after my birthday when i get everything too.

Oh, and visit benheck.com if you too, are interested in making portable versions of classic videogame consoles.

Oh and final boss won the ferst even of the 2008 mlg professional circuit. Idc if you think it's a joke? I think it's cool? Ok bye.

I highley doubt that you will be hacking.

Unless you will be forking up money for the tools.

Like, you know, the computer tools and stuff to get cartridges and stuff to work with it.

I can't explain it.

I usually do Play station games.

Pssh, portable console modification. I have an R4DS to emulate all the old consoles but the N64 and later generations

I didn't even read past my quote, lol.

Also, R4DS is emulation, not perfection.
