Your first project involves going to http://www.amazon.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Then search for the book "Hacking Video Game Consoles", by Ben Heckendorn, and buying it. :P

Really, that book is any portablizer's best friend.

And welcome to the forums!

Yeah that book is a bible to us all. Start at a crawling rate and soon before long you will be running with scissors. I wouldn't recommend running with scissors....anyway welcome to the forums.

...and don't forget to check the stickies first! There's a ton of good info in the stickies...and people seem to get annoyed with a question is asked that can be answered by checking the stickies. I don't, but most seem to.

Is it possible to get an electronic version instead or do I have to pay for overseas shipping?

Depends. If you're in the UK:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hacking-Video-G ... 132&sr=8-1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I meant something like this:

http://portal.aauj.edu/portal_resources ... 1_days.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Willing to pay up to $40 for it :)

PS: Must be colored of course. Black and White is unacceptable.

You might be disappointed, then, the book is black and white.

Welcome to the forums! The book is very helpful, although I never used it. If you are balls-to-the-walls, you can spend 3 weeks reading nearly every post on this website. Then read it all again....and again.....and again. Thats what I did.

Or you can turn on a soldering iron and start stabbing motherboards repeatedly until something lights up.
