How to Make a Portable Game System. Ever thought about being able to play your favorite game system anywhere? I'm sure you have. Following this guide, you can learn how to 'portablize' the Nintendo Entertainment System. In this Instructable I will teach you everything you need to know to put together a portable.

There will be several different sections: - What batteries to choose - How to make a case - How to wire everything - What screen to get These are just the basics. All these and much more will be discussed in this Instructable. The console highlighted in this tutorial is the Nintendo Entertainment System. Now, this project is not for the lazy. This Instructable will play with a new format; because the parts list is so huge, it would be ridiculous to post it all in one step. This project requires that you already have the basic knowledge to solder, use tools, simple stuff like that.

I urge you to read the following steps on picking and ordering a console, screen, and batteries. Dynamically Load Compiled Java Class as a Byte Array and Execute. As we know, all the compiled java classes runs inside the JVM. The default class loader from Sun loads the classes into JVM and executes it. This class loader is a part of JVM which loads the compiled byte code to memory. In this article, I will show how to convert a compiled java class to a array of bytes and then load these array of bytes into another class (which can be over the network) and execute the array of bytes.

So the question arises, why should we write a custom class loader ? There are some distinct advantages. Some of them below We can load a class over any network protocol. For this article we will be creating three classes JavaClassLoader – The custom class loader which will load the array of bytes and execute. Let’s divide this article into two sections, in the fist section we will convert the java class to array of bytes and in the second section, we will load that array. Create & Convert the Java class to array of bytes Now let’s run this file and generate the output.

A cute Scala hack. Morse Code for Linux. Macintosh SE/X. A Macintosh SE that runs Mac OS X* Introduction Many Mac old-timers will recall the story of the Macintosh SE/30. For its day, a neat all-in-one box that was as powerful as its more conventionally cased Mac II brethren. However, its name was an anomaly - at the time Apple used the lowercase 'x' suffix to indicate its 68030 powered models - in those days the top of the line. This included the Mac IIx and IIcx "compact x" for example.

So when they decided to release a updated 68030-based SE, it gave them a problem. The obvious name was Mac SEx .No doubt if Apple had been a European company that's exactly what it would have been called, but the heritage of the Pilgrim Fathers must have got the better of them... Fast forward 15 years or so. To give this project some point beyond simply "because it can be done", I decided that this project would be to make a music server, and also a transportable device that could be used to provide a sound system at parties, etc. Construction Finish Switch-on. Time Machine Exposed!

Hard on the heels of my discovery of a version of GrandPerspective that lets you peer into your Time Machine backups to see what big unnecessary files they contain, here comes tms, a command-line tool by Robert Pointon that lets you explore your Time Machine backups in ways that were previously impossible. To use tms at this early stage you have to be willing to fiddle with the command-line in Terminal. (If there is eventually a GUI version, one would expect it to be pretty great, since Pointon is the author of the astonishing fseventer, which lets you track every file change on your hard disk in real time.) But I know you're curious, so laugh insanely and give it a try. Start by downloading tms.

As many of you know I grew up during the 80′s and spent a lot of time with the fun 8-bit computers of those days. One of my favorites was the Apple IIgs, and when someone requested I build a portable version of it I jumped at the chance. A custom-built Apple IIgs laptop. Click for larger version, suitable for framing. Some quick specs: Large 15″ color screen. Much bigger than the ones on my other 8-bit computer projects (thus far)Uses an original Apple IIgs motherboard with RAM expansion.Custom acrylic keyboard.

Begin photo gallery now! Luckily I had a nice Apple logo sticker laying around from my recent iPod Touch purchase that I could slap on this baby when done. Shot of the unit from below.
