Just saw this over at Boing Boing…
According to their website, the animators (Sidabitball and Camilo) created a method to synchronise animations with a GameBoy in realtime through a homebrew hardware interface.
This is excellent… chip tunes and animations, all done with a GameBoy. Great stuff *two thumbs up*
I never really got into cutting pumpkins for Halloween. Or Halloween for that matter. Trick or treating was non-existent when I was growing up.
That said, I am wishing I had a chance to experience it after seeing some of these cool cut pumpkins for Halloween. Two thumbs up.
Kotaku also have thread up, and there’s some absolute classics there. Favorites so far include Fallout Boy, Bowser, Katamari and the Triforce shield.
An interesting addition to the usual brownie recipe - Sprite Stitch has posted some details on how to create some of these delicious looking treats.
I wonder if they conatin any powerups or gold coins?
Just a quick update to my previous post about this years show, i am 8-bit 2008.
The organisers have teamed up with Paper Tiger and provided some of the artworks in print form. The above image is taken from a series called, “Great Showdowns (of the 8-bit era),” featuring characters from the Ghosts n’ Goblins game.
I’m looking forward to some of the other prints becoming available, the full i am 8-bit gallery is located here. If I can’t get the original artwork, a print may just have to suffice.
Over at Sprite Stitch, someone has finally completed the epic Mario x-stitch.
Check out the Deviantart link for more info.
Console modder, Ben Heck, has previously created some awesome mods… from X360 laptops to an Atari 2600/PS2 combo unit. But this entry isn’t about Ben, but rather a regular on his forums that has created a portable N64, dubbed Darth 64.
By using the chassis of another electronic device, he rips the guts out of it and places in the innards of the N64, with some slight modifications for a screen and a smaller controller than the default size. The end result, plus additional images and some info on how to complete the project yourself, are located at Ben Heck’s forums.
