Nintendo Pokemon Mini LCD Game Hacked

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."

    "on the question of brakes I remember when Porsche came to me for help in designing a better system for the 928 s4. After reviewing their design over dinner, I came to the conclusion that the tangerian coefficient of 4 multiplied by the over boost pressure generated when the heat factor and boiling point of mercury reached a stasis in the left rear caliper thus creating a brake symmetry problem. I easily designed a new system over breakfast the next morning that inverted the overpressure mapping and allowed the excess pressure to bleed into the canavarn canister that I installed next to the johnson rod for the turbo.
    And that reminds me of the time I was racing cars on an air base and the general saw how good I was and asked me to be a flight instructor on the SR 71, of course they didn't realize that I designed it by my self. so I did that for a while and then I became the chief instructor pilot for the combined military service. This was a bit hard as i was still instructing Seal Team instructors. In my spare time I developed a new turbo enhancement system that took the reverse pressurization flow from the fleegleman valve and applied this pressure at a constant 1.5 bar to the overboost induction Johnson rod, this increased the turbo efficiency by 85% and caused the root mean square of the coefficient of the 4.8 bar under boost over booster to recycle wasted franistan reformer load to get 200% better fuel mileage. Of course the big gas companies bought my patent and then buried it but it was ok because they also funded my secret moon base for further research and development.
    Did you know that I invented the TCP-IP protocol? I was working on a movie in Switzerland and the guys at CERN heard I was there and so they asked my advice on a problem they were having. Well I looked and it was immediately obvious that they were over-clocking the tcpip stack at layer 3 and I wrote a little script fix for it for them. They wanted to nominate me for a Pulitzer prize but I simply told them to use it for the betterment of mankind. They of course were amazed at my philanthropic nature but they gave me ½ of Switzerland as a reward. I kept a little hotel on the lake but gave the rest back to the people. They then erected a statue of me and once a year has a ceremony at that site. Its really kind of embarrassing but you do what you can.
    BTW Mel also asked me to be the chief camera operator on his new movie but he demanded that I not use my name as he didn't want people to come to the movie to see my brilliant work, but rather to view the story as he intended. I of course, complied with his wishes as he is a close personal friend. Also I have been working on a promising new cure for Alzheimer's in my spare time. I have been working closely with the Regan family as Ronald and I are best friends. and you remember the hunt for red October? Well that was a TRUE story. The president asked me to train the CIA for this eventuality but of course no one but me was fit for the mission so I went instead, please don't tell anyone.........then my buddy Hugh Heffner or Hef as his personal friends call him, asked me to shoot the playmate of the year spread and he rented me a 747-400 and i flew it to Fiji with all the models on board --- well one thing lead to another and I slept with ALL the playboy playmates...."
    Speaking of 747's did I ever tell you guys about the development I did with the space shuttle? They came to me (of course) and asked my help in developing a recovery system for potentially damaged shuttles. I worked on it a while but didn't have the time to devote to it until I finished inventing the overthruster. Anyway, eventually I came up with a hypothesis that I could land the shuttle on the back of a 747 in flight. Of course like all good ideas, they just laughed at me, so gave them all the specs. And told them to set it up and I would prove it. I went on a secret shuttle launch to re-supply my moon base science lab. After we got the supplies down to the base I flew a perfect return to earth and moved into re-entry posi
