Someone squeezed a Nintendo Wii into a Game Boy Color-like case

[ad_1] My latest project is complete! The goal was to make a portable Wii the size of a GameBoy Color, and after 9 months of work it’s finally finished. pic.twitter.com/upeF2rHyKR — GingerOfMods (@GingerOfMods) August 27, 2020 GingerOfMods 3D-printed the shell and frankensteined the Wiiboy Color together using bits and pieces of other Nintendo consoles, as […]

MOD Duo X review: A do-it-all music box with potential

[ad_1] The synth modules leave something to be desired, honestly. There are some gems in here like TAL Noise Maker, AmSynth, Triceratops and the incredible DX-7 emulator Dexed (the latter two still being in beta). But, there are also a lot of SoundFont players, which are good for recreating ‘90s video game scores (and not […]

Hacked NES Power Glove controls a modular synth with finger wriggles

[ad_1] Never mind controlling a modular synth by twiddling knobs. If one modder has his way, one of Nintendo’s legendary controllers is the way of the future. Look Mum No Computer (aka Sam Battle) has hacked an NES Power Glove into a gesture controller for his modular synth setup. All he has to do is […]

Modder makes the GameCube Joy-Cons you’ve always wanted for your Switch

[ad_1] He even created a center piece that lets you reunite both halves in a single gamepad that’s the same width as the original Wavebird. The creator expects to provide CAD files for those who want to attempt their own mods, but be warned: this definitely isn’t for first-timers. Shank cautioned that a lot more […]

GoPro’s first Hero 8 Black ‘mod’ is a light for vloggers

[ad_1] The first to make it out the gate is not the Media Mod (which I am particularly eager to try). Instead, it’s the $50 Light Mod. It might not be quite as exciting as the Media Mod with its built-in shotgun mic, or the LCD Display Mod, but it does give us a (well-illuminated) […]

Colin Furze made a real version of Junkrat’s RIP-tire from ‘Overwatch’

[ad_1] Furze took the engine from a petrol-powered chainsaw and retrofitted it, with plenty of cunning, into the middle of a tyre. With some extra adornments and a remote control, the RIP-tire managed to cut a paint can and smash several panes of glass. Obviously, Furze breaks down how he made the device in the […]

Tilta mods Blackmagic’s Pocket Cinema Camera with a tilt screen and SSD

[ad_1] You won’t be replacing the camera’s screen with this mod, just adding some hardware to allow it to twist and turn. Tilta says that it only takes an hour to complete the modification and that the kit includes all the tools you’ll need. The company will also provide tutorials so you can follow along […]

The PIS2 is a portable PS2 years in the making

[ad_1] The PIS2 squeezes the motherboard of a PS2 Slim into a large but comfy-looking chassis, which includes a screen compatible with VGA and composite signals. The battery lasts for 90 minutes and can be charged with a standard PS2 power cable. The unit is equipped with one external memory card slot, while the other […]

‘StarCraft’ gets the cartoon makeover nobody asked for

[ad_1] When you think of kid-friendly video games, StarCraft might not top the list. But that could change. A new version, StarCraft: Cartooned, reimagines every unit, structure, map, menu and mission with art by CarBot Animations. The usually dark game is swapping its Warhammer-like visual style for a complete makeover with cute cartoon graphics. [ad_2] […]
