NES Controller MP3 player hack

Posted by Hemos on from the good-stuff-to-look-at dept.

Skadet writes "Martin Kersch of Germany made great use of a boring Saturday afternoon by transforming an ordinary USB Stick and NES Controller into an MP3 Player (original German). He even hacked the buttons on the controller to work with the mp3 player, "Start" is On/Play, and the directional pad functions as the song changer/volume control. Do you remember those NES Controller Belt Buckles? They should integrate these MP3 Players into those things."

    "Skadet of Slashdot made great use of a boring Monday morning by transforming an ordinary blurb on Techeblog into a front-page Slashdot article. He even hacked it to include hyperlinks, with a special add-on link to display the blurb in its original German. Do you remember when you actually had to click the links to really know what the story was about? More Slashdotters should integrate the entire article's text into the summary.

      wouldn't techblog have copyrights on their text. this is a pretty blantant reuse of the text.

    I agree.

    is the summary lying? they said the buttons were mapped to do stuff.

    look at that picture. the A and B buttons aren't even attached to anything.

    perhaps it's just start/select and the D-pad that are mapped?

    this kinda reminds me of that guy who claimed to have connected a USB keyboard to a PSP's USB port and written drivers to get it working. only pictures, no technical details. no proof.
