The latest DIY ideas, techniques and tools for the kitchen, garage and backyard from food to furniture to fun & games for your family.
“This is a tool to run homebrew EBOOT programs on your v2.0 PSP. It will not run on any other firmware version. It’s very much work in progress, but can load quite a lot of existing EBOOTs… later Tetris was released “…a simple Tetris clone, to experiment with the recent TIFF overflow exploit, and get used to the PSPSDK compiler tools. Just unzip the file into the root directory of a memory stick, then use the PSP photo viewer to open the “Tetris” folder…” Link.
MAKE Flickr photo pool member Chris Mckenna writes “I was inspired by Mister Jalopy’s MAKE volume 04 World’s Biggest MP3 Player article to hack together something from a thrift store bought console radio. No where near as complicated as the project described in the article, but perhaps interesting to some. It sounds pretty awesome.” Nice work! Link.
In MAKE 04 we featured some great kit gift ideas in the magazine, “Kits for the Holidays”. But we didn’t have room for all the kits we found, so here’s another round for elves with makers on their list. MAKE subscribers can log in and view the full article here…Link. We also have our own kit for taking high speed flash photography to capture high-speed events — A splash. Popping balloons. Breaking glass. It’s an amazing adjustable flash controller triggered by light or sound. Link.
Rocket writes in regarding our TiVo to iPod post “Notice that this will only work for PC-based iPods, and they mention that “TiVo subscribers will need to purchase special software to tap the features.” What? Pay extra for iPod support? A bunch of us got fed up with Tivo not supporting macintosh for the Tivo to Go. So we created TivoTool which already has video iPod support – all you need is a hacked tivo and a macintosh (well, and a video iPod.)” Link.
Amazing, a GPS mod for the PSP …“this is the first version of a program for the PSP that provides a practical GPS Graphic User Interface (GUI). The GPSP software for Sony PSP runs under LUAplayer 0.11 or later. LUAplayer is free. If you haven’t downloaded it, you will need to get it running on your 1.50 firmware PSP in order to try this out for yourself.” Link. Wifi + GPS on a PSP, this is great! The homebrew PSP community is the only reason many haven’t Ebay’ed their PSPs.
Simple way of getting podcasts on the new Xbox 360 “How do you listen to your favorite podcasts on your Xbox 360? There is nothing better than slaughtering your pals online while you catch up with NPR’s Story of the Day. And kicking off the week with an episode of TWiT to accompany your Monday night XBL football league is a welcome replacement for repetitive announcers… let’s figure out how to get those podcasts on the Xbox 360.” [via] Link.
How to convert recorded television to play on a PSP automatically from MAKE pal Jake – “Despite the recent launch of Sony’s own Media Manager, PSPWare remains the best solution for syncing content to your PSP. Chris and I were lamenting the lack of an easy way to automatically convert DVR-MS files created by Windows Media Center to files ready for playback from PSP Memory Sticks. Here is the solution.” Link.
