“A retro-style computer that functions like the Altair 8800 and can run original, unmodified software. The simplest Altair configuration that could run 4k BASIC was the 8080A CPU board, at least 4K of RAM, and a serial IO interface. The 6850 UART was used in the 88-2SIO serial interface boards. This project has evolved over time, resulting in a series of different versions.”

This project takes a compact SNES console and rewires a whole bunch to make it into a portable gaming system. The project write-up is very thorough so anyone should be able to follow it. At very least, skim through it to see an awesome creation.

This project took a plastic AK-47 and removed the insides, then repackaged and rewired as necessary to move the Wiimote IR-sensor into the muzzle and wire up the trigger with a switch. Also, the nunchuck was mounted like a vertical grip so it can be easily grasped and used.

This one is for anyone bored enough to make serious mods to their desktop case. Adding a small 5” or 7” LCD to your case can look awesome for things like dispalying current time/temperature/mp3 playlist. This write-up shows you how to take a PSone screen, connect it to your desktop and mod it to your case.

This little homemade hand-held console uses an arm processor for everything. A nokia lcd screen displays the output for the game & there’s a few buttons for input. Looking at it makes me really see how simple the gameboy must have been to design (or would be with current technology). The write-up has all the hardware & pcd layout information listed.

The XBox 360 comes standard with a green power LED whenever it is turned on. This color is fitting to the XBox color scheme, however maybe you want a red or blue LED in there…no problem! This simple project write-up guides you through the process of getting a new one and installing it onto the board without messing up your XBox.
