Hey all, first post here but I've been a casual modder for a long time. I used to paint PS2 and Xbox 360 controllers way back when I was a teenager (they looked awful). Now as an aspiring hardware hacker I've been diving deep into the awesome work you guys do.
Currently I have a phat PS2 which I am planning on upgrading and leaving as a full console. I was given a Wii U which I've softmodded and loaded my gamecube games onto. Two gamecubes, one DOL-001 which I am holding on to just in case I decide to go the HDMI route, one DOL-101 which I will either convert into a portable or punt on eBay. Because of the awesome work here, I bought a broken disc Wii in order to convert into a portable at some point in the future.
Anyway, love the work here. It's inspiring to me as a fledgeling hardware hacker, and brings some serious nostalgia to me as I grew up with all of these systems. (Inherited a Genesis as a kid, PS1 was my first new system. My siblings and I played every system except PS3 until current gen.) And it's been a blast sharing these games with my kids in a non-destructive way.
