    A real pioneering hacker will freeze the whole system with dry ice, mill 0.1mm, take a picture, mill another 0.1mm, take a picture, etc, until the whole thing has been 3D-scanned in visible light.

    ... the world shortage of aluminum has finally been explained!

    Seriously speaking, it's one big heatsink for a processor known for its low power usage! Gotta be for the flipper chip i guess.

    Wow, I've finally made the big time after all these years. Just thought I'd say thanks to CamelTrader (whoever you are!) and welcome everyone else to my life's work - GameSX.com.

    It's originally named after a retail store I opened some five years ago - Game Station X - but the store is no more.

    It is, I believe, the single largest collection of game hardware pinouts and hacks and so on. It wouldn't be there without the help of all the fantastic people who've sent in their mods and info, so thanks to everyone!!

    The ISP hosting the site might freak out if it's hit by the normal slashdot traffic. Please try again later if it buckles.

    The outer shell was tough, impact-resistant plastic. Inside was ... Rich Creamy Nougat.

    Yes, but that leads to the question: What the heck is nougat?! It's the universal candy binder, I know, but WHAT IS IT??? I just ate some, but I don't even know what it is. I should maybe be alarmed, but instead I feel mostly satisfied, but hungry for more...

    If we can't unravel this riddle, then we really don't know what's inside a gamecube, do we?

  6. GC discs don't spin backwards. by NEOGEOman · · Score: 3, Funny

    They don't. They spin clockwise, same as every other console I have handy to check with. Strangely I don't actually own a CD player...

    I dunno who started that little rumor. Or maybe it's only south of the equator they spin the wrong way?
