Watch Ben Heck Hack a 360 and a Sega CDX

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday July 12, 2011 @07:31PM from the teach-me-your-voodoo dept.

We've previously discussed a few projects by game system hacker Ben Heck, including his PS3 laptop and Xbox 360 laptop. Now, GameSetWatch points out two videos produced by Ben showing and explaining new projects. First, he designs and builds a disc-changer for an Xbox 360, and then he turns an old Sega CDX system into a portable console.

Good thing he did not make a disc changer for PS3, they would probably take him to court.

  That would be pretty funny since he used a Sony disk changer for the mod. Not that that makes a legal difference, but it would be pretty funny listening to a Sony lawyer try to explain to a judge why hooking a Sony disk changer up to a Sony game console is a problem.

I solved the "get up and switch disks" problem on my Wii by installing them all on a flash drive. While it's kind of cool having a CD changer, it's a lot more practical to just get rid of the whole need to read disks completely.
