Saturday evening, using my old dos machine to run 90s demos on my plasma tv

Category: retro fun! — Eivind @ 19:03

All the hardware used is ORIGINAL like it was back in 1998, when this machine was put to rest. It is a p200 mhz (without the pentium bug that managed to crash all pascal demos using the crt unit! at the moment it uses a gravis ultrasound classic with 1MB of ram!

you can all see my rips on https://www.youtube.com/babayaga26

Funny cause i have never used it on a tellie before, only for capturing them with a video card! :)

This is the first picture, how it looks inside

Some of the pictures of the setup, soooooo many cables! :(

connections to the video device and converter for tv-signals

And here is what it looks like in action, playing the demo Wired invitation intro done by Haujobb many years ago ! :))

George Hotz hacks the PS3 and releases source code!

Category: Console modifications — Eivind @ 19:07

Today is a good day to be a console “hacker”. The great geohot (aka George Hotz) have done the one thing noone else has managed todo the last 3 years, get full memory space access and therefore ring 0 access from OtherOS. He has released the source code for the exploit for all to see.

PCB instructions

I hope in the following weeks we will see some development on the ps3 front and maybe someone finally can manage to do an entire dump of the hypervisor!!!!!! =)

So, it’s been four extreme months with school and almost no internet and no soldering iron?! yes, that’s right. Today a friend of mine sent me a link to a very, well, good or not, a funny music video for all of us that enjoys playing mega man 2!!

I’m not into this kind of music, but irritatingly addictive :)
