Nintendo Pokemon Mini LCD Game Hacked

Posted by simoniker on from the home-mini-brew dept.

Team Pokeme writes "Nintendo's Pokemon Mini LCD mini-handheld has been hacked by us - you can check out the videos on our site for more information. The cartridge pinout has been reverse engineered by using logic analyzers (thanks to DarkFader), and also the instruction set by disassembling (thanks DaveX!) the Pokemon Mini emulator that is built into Pokemon Channel, a GameCube game. DaveX wrote the first homebrew game, SokoMini, after finding out the tilemap stuff."

    the site looks /.'ed. anyone got a mirror?

    looks like the sort of project a less than legally-conscious prof might have handed to me in digital systems classes this year =P

    Thers's actually only 19 Address bits therefore it has only half as much (512K) - still perfectly reasonable...

    Basically, it's a portable game console - er, a cheap toy for really small kids who aren't old enough to be trusted a real Game Boy. Has bright colored plastic, lo-rez display, d-pad and two buttons, and IR port. It uses cartridges.
