How to Hack Your Wii for Homebrew Games and DVD Playback. Want to play emulated games on your Wii? How about DVD playback? Here’s how to use the SmashStack exploit to hack your Wii with the latest system menu and enable all of that and more! And yes, in case you are wondering, this does work with the latest version 4.3 firmware update. Before we get started, it’s important to mention that this guide will modify the software on your Wii, which will void the warranty, and there’s a chance that you could make your Wii console unusable if things go wrong.

We didn’t have any problems hacking our own Wiis, but your mileage may vary. What You’ll Need The SmashStack exploit requires – you guessed it – Super Smash Bros Brawl in order to execute it, as well as one GameCube controller, and you can borrow both from a friend or find them cheap online. You’ll also need an SD/SDHC card for all of the homebrew (“home brewed” apps) you want download—I’d recommend at least a 1 GB card to make sure you have enough space.

Here's a picture of my projector next to the NTSC camera with an IR interference filter taped to the front: Do you know anything about black and white NTSC composite signals? Here's a quick lesson on the horizontal timing: An NTSC camera will put out a signal that contains the information of the odd lines, then the even lines in a method called 'Interlacing'.

Half of your picture comes at a time, and then the other half with each horizontal line meeting the diagram above. So when I first concepted this, I used an arduino that I had otherwise sitting on the desk next to me. So let's cut to the bare essentials.

Overview of all available Nvidia Ion Products (motherboards, PCs, barebones, nettops, netbooks, all-in-ones) Motherboards, mini-PCs, nettops, netbooks, all-in-ones Nvidia's ION chip truly brings the Intel Atom cpu to life. Combining the low power consumption of the Atom with the powerful graphical capabilities of the ION (which is essentially a Nvidia GeForce 9400M IGP) results in low power, low cost, small form factor PC solutions that are powerful enough to play back VC1/h.264/bluray 1080p video content and therefore ideal as a small, silent HTPC front-end.

Current Nvidia Linux drivers fully support (using the VDPAU API) hardware based decoding of mpeg2, VC1 and h.264 as offered by the ION chip, therefore systems based on the ION chip are well suited for a Linux based HTPC, using software such as 'XBMC', 'Mythtv' and video players such as 'Mplayer'. Many Nvidia ION based products have been announced in the last few months by several manufacturers, some are already available, while others are still at the 'vaporware' stage.

The form factor is very small, a wide selection of platforms is available, and the component pricing is fairly decent. This build guide will quickly go through the steps of building a mini-ITX build from out of the box to completion.

Once the build is completed, I will install Windows 7 RTM and run a slew of benchmarks to see how the system performs doing some tasks that you might actually do with a mini-ITX system.

DIY Laser Home Defence SystemEver wanted to secure your home the way the spooks at the CIA and other high-security agencies do? Simon van de Berg - Nintendo DS Homebrew Webpage. Welcome to my Nintendo DS homebrew webpage This is the main page of my NDS homebrew webpage. This new design is my attempt to make it clearer to find information and get where you want to go much easier then before. I've made this webpage to make it easier for people either new to the Nintendo DS homebrew scene to get a general impression of what it is all about, and to learn the basics of Nintendo DS hombrew.

Though my work is mainly aimed at people that want/need to learn more on the user level (try to know at least the basics when asking questions and etc.), my reviews also aim at writing for the more experienced homebrewer (read my reviews for example). One thing I want to make very clear as also stated in my Beginner Guide To DS Homebrew: I do not approve of piracy. Piracy is something often associated with running homebrew. On a side note, this webpage looks best with Firefox or Opera, IE does not render it correctly. -Simon van de Berg P.S. Hack Your Wii for Homebrew Apps and DVD Playback. Molly 'Porkshanks' Friedrich's Dieselpunk Headphone Mod. Greetings strangers and friends alike! I was emailed by Jake a little while back asking me if I would be interested in taking a turn as guest contraptor on the Steampunk Workshop. Of course, this is roughly equivalent to asking a model railroader if they would like to take a real steam engine out for a spin on the tracks.

How could I say no? Like most people who might find themselves reading this now, I have been aware in a peripheral sense about the concept of Steampunk for most of my life, but it was always just a fantasy, something that only lived in our imagination through film, literature, and many other forms of art. Jake's creations were a big part of what inspired me to take a deeper look at this idea. I loved the aesthetic; and the more I discovered the ideals that underpin the creative end of the community, well... I was hooked. So, I began researching and sketching. This brings me to the project at hand. SG Brown LTD CF Cannon Co. You will need: Now, let's dig in! Further Mods: Computer Hardware Videos and Computer Hardware Guides from Howcast.com.

Wikipedia says that “an emulator duplicates the functions of one system, using a different system, so that the second system behaves like (and appears to be) the first system.” This means that we can make our PC mimic a specific system, which thereby enables us to run those system-specific games on our computers. In this series, we’ll take a closer look at the software needed to run PSX, PS2 and Xbox games on your PC. This time we’ll discuss Sony’s Playstation (PSX) and the ePSXe emulation software. A lot of people had fun with the first PlayStation, including me, and we can’t seem to get rid of it (in a good way). To play Playstation 1 games on your PC, you need to download a program called ePSXe. Step 1 – Download and install ePSXe The latest version can always be found here. As there’s no installer, you just have to unzip it in the folder of your choice.

Step 2 – Getting the PSX’s BIOS The installation is far from complete though, as this is only the base of the emulator. Hack N Mod - Amazingly Cool Hacks, Mods, and DIY Projects. DIY Life - Projects and Tips. The Steampunk Home.
