Building Consoles For Fun

Posted by timothy on from the hey-you-kids-cut-that-out dept.

tierra writes "Indiviuals writing their own games is one thing, but try building your own console. Russ Christensen, and his team put together in class, dive into the fun of using an old Nintendo system to house their customized XSA-50 Board. They also uses a XSA Extender to hook their personal console up to a monitor instead of a TV. They programmed Tetris and Space Invaders for their console using a system they call CASM."

    In Soviet Russia, there is no YOU. Everything is about the community. You can't build anything. The state directs one and all.
