Hacking Classic Video Game Systems

Posted by Zonk on from the lazy-weekend-activities dept.

ThinSkin writes "ExtremeTech has been running a series of articles on hacking your old video game systems. The madness began when they tore open an old Super Nintendo and fashioned it into a portable gaming rig. Now, more recently, they've hacked a PSOne screen, which they will use for another type of portable gaming system."

    I hacked an N64 down to it's bare essentials, and put it in my PC.

    It's powered by the PC's power supply and the video and audio cables are run through my digital TV tuner card so I can play it in all it's deinterlaced glory using tvtime, although it can be plugged into a large TV or a projector and a loud stereo.

    It's great at LAN parties. Nobody can resist the attraction of a GoldenEye deathmatch. >:D
