I added a video input to a b&w karaoke machine that had a broken camera and I played my nes and ps2 karaoke machine and the T.V. at the same time.(didn't want to break the micrphone to get a audio input)

Hmmâ€¦

The 6 LED PSone screen mod was probably my first. I don't know if any of the earlier stuff counts thoughâ€¦

Opening a PS1 that magically didn't work after reassembly.

My first hack was trying to get my PSone Screen to input comosite video from my tv, after i tried that the screen turned a bluish color and i tryed it again and it looked like it was greenish- come to find out that it was the component mode fix for the SCREEn!!! I tossed it after tying to fix it- then afterwards about 2 years later i found out that you could bypass a fuse to make it work, i was pissed. Second was my PS2M and next will be my PSTwoM.

I don't really know what to consider my first hack. My first benheck related hack was either powering my PSone screen off of batteries (because it didn't come with a power adapter) or it was taking apart my N64, I can't remember which I did first.

My first hack was also with an RC car because I didn't dare opening up a console. I took of everything (plastic that is) from a Fire Power car (by Tyco) and replaced the 'gun' by a light bulb. So it could drive in the dark and it was like a pickup truck instead of a jeep. Actually the gun was much cooler then the stupid bulb but I wanted to drive it in the dark for some reason

... I was 11 then

first hacking project, eh? well that takes me back...
Like most people I started with small animals before working my way up to homeless and prostit--oh, wait electronics...

the first serious project I worked on was the old 'grimboy advance'--which I'd really like to get another transverter for so I can finish...

before that I threw a region selecter switch on my neo geo, and sold Dreamcast emulation CDs at bars, but that's not really hacking. I'm sure I've done something before that, but it's really not comming to mind.

My very first "hack" was putting rubber bands around the tires of my tonka truck for better traction on the floor.

I just did a hack today, I had an old RC car that used a 6v battery and I hacked on a 9.6v nicd I had laying around. It had so much power! After about 15 minutes of driving outside, I took off the motor cover/panel thing and the motor was too hot to touch.
