    Console Modding/Electronics Urban Legends?

    I've purchased a C64 with a semi-broken VIC-2 and SID chip, and while researching potential methods of spinning them back up, I came across the curious method of baking them in an oven to potentially restore functionality. This seems janky, to say the least, and isn't backed by anything but...

    Worklog [2022 Contest Entry] The SNESpectrum

    I've decided to toss my hat into the ring this year, and put into execution an idea I've had floating around my head for a little while - a portable SNES, with 2 wired but detachable controllers - almost like the Switch.

And here I hit a fork in the road - I...

    Question How would I go about connecting buttons and slider pads to a Raspberry Pi for a portable?

    I've seen a few threads about the slider, but none seem to exactly match my question, so here goes. I'm trying to surprise my brother with a gift on his birthday, and decided a MintyPi would be a fun project for us to do together and something to help him dip his toes into more advanced...
