Modded Mario ROM

Modded Mario ROM

Mario Battle Ashmore altered this NES ROM by removing all the enemies, prizes, architecture within the game. Now as a game player, all you can do is go for a walk. Eventually you run out of time and die. Users will need to download a NES emulator to play, if they don’t already have one. [via] Link.

Root console on Sony Librie with USBPD

Root console on Sony Librie with USBPD

Libriestd Marko Bolowski, the chap behind the Sony Librie translation project, gave in to our desire to explore the Librie’s internals and released a tool which allows us to open a root console via USB to the Sony device. USBPD consists of a console program (that runs on the USBPD host device, i.e. any Linux computer) and a server program (that runs on the USBPD target device, i.e. our Sony Librie); the precompiled binaries (including sources, of course) can be downloaded here- Link.

DIY kid’s Board Book

DIY kid’s Board Book

6 Here’s a HOW TO on making those sturdy board books people tend to give kids when they’re younger…Cut 5″x5″ boards from pressed cardboard. I used Bienfang illustration board but any pressed (not corrugated) cardboard that’s about 1/16″ thick will do. You’ll need enough for the interior pages, plus the front and back cover. Round two of the corners…To protect the pages from smudging, cover them with clear adhesive sheets. I used JM laminating sheets. Link.
