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."

    Ahem... Looks like they were trying to host the site and a couple of videos on a Mini. Burn mini, burn. There goes my karma.
