I have the Google cached version of the datasheet (text only... not as useful as the original...)

I can send it on to anyone who wants it.

Best way to do it would be to build an interface circuit, so you can plug in any controller & have it work.
Either one to decode the NES & one to encode the PSX signal, or use a programmable microcontroller (eg, PIC) to do the lot.

There are circuit schematics for making a PSX controller using off ...

What some of the commercial systems have (which may be hard to DIY) is that the RF releases a catch on the doorframe (I think it's called the striker?), allowing the door to open even though the lock bolt is still extended. This lets you have a keylock as a backup.

It's in one of my favorate movies! "UHF", the one with Weird Al! I'm glad someone else besides me has seen it!
THANK YOU! :D
That has been bugging me for so long... :oops:

I didn't name it after anything, just came up with Megadeath after looking at the name Mega Drive.


I think there's something funny going around here, when it comes to hacking Sega Systems... When I was thinking of a name for a potential Genesis Portable (I hate it when people name their systems ...

Some of the places I've worked have had them.
They're usually referred to as "proximity card" locks (or proxi card for short...)

I'd say they're pretty secure, even the military uses them.

my friend can solve one in under a minute without even looking at it, it's insane. i've only solved 1 side, i can't get the rest though
Reminds me of a movie, but I can't remember which one...
In the foreground, the main actors are walking through a park, talking.
In the background, a blind guy ...

I went to high school with a guy who became state champion at the Rubiks Magic Puzzle (the flat thing with the rings drawn on it)

He showed me a move that makes it a hell of a lot quicker than normal...

It's also an OLED screen, so should be low power usage

edit: found the other thread... http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13812

There was another thread about this recently, but not in so much technical detail...

In theory, you could modularise all your whatever-on-a-chip systems & just plug them into this!

"Oh I'm sick of playing C64 games, I'll slot in my (Atari/Nes/Genesis) module instead..."

You've heard about the Tesla car company, that have built an electric sportscar powered off 3000+ laptop batteries? :lol:

You've heard about the supercapacitors that are being developed?

Take Tesla's idea, replace the batteries with supercapacitors, that's the future!

As for how we get the power ...

I doubt it.
Even if you could get it sending some other sort of data (with the various issues of encoding & decoding it) I doubt there would be enough bandwidth for anything as complicated as video.

That would be what's known as a Thin Client.
They usually run something like Windows CE, and connect to a Windows Terminal Server.

You may also be able to connect to a Linux server and use it as an X Terminal but not sure of that...

S-Video to VGA?? What sort of conversion circuitry does it have hidden inside it? (or is it something else entirely...)
