PlayStation

So I bought a couple of PlayStations recently for a project; a 9001 and a 5501. Yesterday I bought an RF switch and a GameShark.

Unsatisfied with the performance of the drive unit in the 5501, I tested the 9001's drive in it. It worked, but the cables were the wrong length.

Undeterred, I took apart the laser units and swapped the guts. I now have a perfectly working 5501 and a fairly gutted 9001 :D

Used the double swap trick to boot a burned CD that flashed my GameShark to AHOY! .34

Defcon 20 Badge

I went to Defcon in Las Vegas this year. They gave us these fancy badges with Parallax Propeller CPU's. They're weird things but they run 80MHz and can be made to drive VGA. I've finally got around to doing some work on it.

I added full extended ASCII support to the High Res VGA Text demo. More to come.

Remembered why I used to use 3 monitors instead of only 2. Hooked up a bootleg adapter for my old PowerMac 6100 monitor out of spare parts :D
