[Adr990] wants to make sure his Game Boy game saves aren’t lost to aging batteries. They’re stored in SRAM with a small coin cell inside the cartridge to keep the memory energized when the game is not being played. But if you pull out the battery in order to replace it the data will be [...]

Several bright young engineers have been swiped up to work for Valve. Yes, that Valve, the game company. Amongst them are [Jeff Keyser] aka [Mighty ohm] and [Jeri Ellsworth], both names that we have seen on these pages many times. We’ve heard that Valve is a fun and very unique company to work for.

hacker jeopardy Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 27th (27C3) 2010 Abstract: Out of the news section of the C3D2 radio programme we've compiled an entertaining game show, an Internet-based multiplayer "Who becomes millionaire?" challenge. The audience and folks on the peace missions are asked to help the players. From the collected news items of our monthly radio show we've generated a game show somewhat inspired by "Who becomes millionaire?" but multi player. The questions cover all types of net-news we've found interesting to mention in our radio show.

The game that launched a multi-billion dollar franchise is now laid bare for your hacking pleasure. [Jordan Mechner] just posted the once-lost source code for Prince of Persia. This game was ground-breaking for its use of rotoscoping to mimic the movements of an actor (in this case it was his younger brother). Oh, and it’s [...]

We’re going to have to take [Mike's] word for it that he built Conway’s Game of Life with high-definition video output. That’s because this screenshot is his only proof and it looks a bit fuzzy to us. But we are interested in the project which used an FPGA to generate a 1080p VGA output of [...]

hardware hacking microcontroller Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: Now you've got that r0ket thing. What to do with it? If you have a r0ket, bring it to our talk! We will try to play a game of pong with every participant. You need the l0dable r_game to join the fun :) As we won't be using cryptokeys, you'll need the new 28c3 firmware so the l0dable will run and everything else works. For CCCamp 2011 we designed r0ket with team r0ket. Besides being a shiny electronic name tag, the r0ket is an easy to use full featured microcontroller development board. 3000 r0kets were given to the participants, to be creative. At Camp we already told you about the journey to getting everything ready. In r0ket++ we will tell you what happened since camp and what we learned from moving the whole production of r0ket to China. You will get more information about writing your own software for r0ket. And finally you will find out, what your r0ket does at 28c3: Besides using r0ket as a rem0te, you can participate in an openBeacon based tracking.

We’re really not supposed to start a feature like this; but this hack is awesome. It’s a game of Snake implemented by an FPGA dev board. It uses a 16×16 LED matrix as the display and an SNES controller for input. So far it sounds like a very normal version of the game. But as [...]
