    The Super Pi

    So over the last 2 weeks, I've been working on a project using the Raspberry Pi 3 as a portable gaming device. (Very original huh?) I made an attempt with it before using some really silly stuff inside of it: A USB SNES Controller, 18560s, RPI default audio... and so on. The final case thickness...

    Solved No video on Wii

    I've been slowly modding the Wii board step by step. First I took it out of the case and installed PortablizeMii, it booted. Then I used U9 to replace U5, booted. Then I took off all the on board regulators and hooked up mine. I'm using the AP6503A regulator, which can supply up to 3A. I've...

    Question Arduino to program Free McBoot

    I've seen a project that can read and write info to PS2 memory cards using an Arduino. Shouldn't it be possible to write Free McBoot using an Arduino in that case?

    Bunches of Phones for Sale

    Before I start off I wanna say prices are slightly negotiable, and that every phone listed here works and will connect to a network. All phones with custom firmware can be put back to stock. Samsung Galaxy S4: $100 Works just fine for what it does, about 3 hours of screen time while connected...

    Discussion Adding PTH to the BitBuilt store

    Since the PTH regulators can be purchased for a significantly reduced price when bought in bulk, I figure that it would be somewhat profitable and cheaper. I would love to see this get put into action, though it may not happen.

    Guide Gamecube Breakout Box

    So you are making a portable and everything is going well. Half way through you decide that you want the ability to have multiple controllers connect to your portable; oh no, you don't have any more room but for one extra port because you didn't plan it out in the beginning. Or perhaps you made...

    [Worklog] Super Pitendo

    This project is self-explanatory. I'm taking a Raspberry Pi 2, chucking it into a case with a screen and batteries. I'll chop up a broken Super Nintendo controller and embed in into the case. The screen of my choice is a generic 5" widescreen TFT display. I don't really have a plan with...
