Ben Heck rocks…a few months ago a guy emails asking if I could build a portable Neo Geo MVS system. I tell him it’s possible, but I’d have to work with some hardware to do tests. He kindly sends me a Neo Geo MV-1C, which is a 1-slot (holds 1 game) Neo Geo arcade motherboard from 1999, pretty much the last and newest model they made. If anything would run off a battery and be small enough that was it. Luckily I had a semi-built Neo Geo rig to test the new board with... Link.
Here’s a really cool Mac Mod…It’s a G4 Mac inside a Mac SE, it’s slot loading and it has an internal iPod Docking system on top as well as a remote control. Link.
Great HOW TO. So, you’ve decided to take your Atari Flashback 2 console to the next level? Well then, here are the basic details to help assist you in hacking/modding your console into a full fledged Atari 2600 system that can use your original cartridges. [via] Link.
PC Chopper MOD! In the last installment, I finished the hard-drive activity taillight as well as the wireless keyboard/mouse receiver in one package. I also finished fabricating the side panels for the bike, which is where the hard drives will attach. I also recorded some motorcycle startup sounds with the help of my lovely assistant, my wife. This time around, it all comes together. Yes, this is the extra-long final installment of the series. This time around, the bike will be painted up and assembled, along with some last-minute fabrication. What will it look like in the end? [via] Link.
Wow a Mac version of our volume 02 PC Atari project! The goal? Turning a vintage 1970’s Atari 2600 game consol into a Macintosh computer, running the latest and greatest Mac OS X. The catch? Try and keep the Atari looking stock, up to a point.Link.
Here’s some more video from the high powered laser session(s) at OSCON. You can see red balloons, red cups, badges and potato chips easily dispensed with the awesome power of 161mw of green laser. QuickTime (MOV). Also, see the previous video.
This has been handy for me lately, as every flight I book is delayed or has some type of problem...For travellers who are REALLY on a budget and are looking for a way to skim a few bucks off their travel expenses, why not consider sleeping in an airport? Many airports are actually better than local lodging. And to top it off – IT’S FREE! Your friends and family may look at you funny when you return with your airport stories, but that’s only part of the fun. So now, sit back….get out your travel itinerary and plan which airports you’re going to sleep in (or avoid altogether) during your next trip.Link.
