Well, the plastic case is fine, but the whole thing was taken apart at the time. A soaking wet MB is not something I'm going to try to save.

Dishwasher vs. Work Area...Dishwasher wins.

This Stinks!

I'd been starting some decent work on a portable in my spare time and things were moving along well until yesterday. The night before, I had started the dishwasher before heading to bed. It starting leaking. Unfortunately, my workbench is directly below the kitchen.

Lives taken by the ...

Yes you can---I already do

I currently use a softmodded xbox and can still play regular games. Since I didn't want to completely install linux, I've been running DSL Linux as a LiveCD. Images are available on www.xbox-linux.org

I just did an A/V mod on a 4-switch I picked up at a flea market last summer. I used some panel mount RCA connectors as a finishing touch and it looks great. Before too long I hope to post some joystick/controller mods I've been working on.

Well, I've been studying Gustav Holst's score for "The Planets" for the past several days. And looking over Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." Lots of sonorities in both of those pieces for any writer to study for the orchestral medium.

BenHeck's 1st composite Video Mod Questions

I just tried BenHeck's 1st Composite mod on a 4-switch Atari with Limited success until I saw another version of it that also integrated pin 9 into 2,5,7 & 8. Having done this, the colors are now vibrant!

The only drawback is that there is a LOT of color bleed in the reds. Now I know that NTSC in ...

Excellent Diagram! I used that same photo as reference for my recent controller 2 hacking: http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=16256

Do you know if anyone has done (or is planning on) a similar diagram for controller 1?

Power Player controller on NES

I'm new to game hacking, but wanted to get started. In this case, I've chosen a fairly easy project that would not destroy the NOAC but still see some progress: I chose to make the player 2 controller that came with the Power player set work on the NES.
