Edit: Little game, try to guess what it'll be used for ? ~j0rd and confusis you aren't allowed to answer as you've been given some spoilers .

Nice stuff ! I'd guess a router or a proxy.

Thanks... And no

Nothing really new, but I finally made an inline TMK converter for my Apple M0110:

The keyboard is yellowed, but it really matches the yellow from the ball (which is original colour). Next step it to make a definitive cable using a smaller AVR and a nicely sleeved cable.

Domino Pi and Domino core arrived yesterday. Here is a little hint at what they'll be used for:

Dropship flew by and supplied me with the following:

That'll hold me over for a while !

Are you sure you bought enough pins? I destroyed so many of those already I'd at least buy twice the amount I actually need

I still have a batch left over when MDPC sold them, I have about 70 pins of both genders, so it will hold me over for a while. I wanted to have a stock of connectors so I don't have to order these in the next 5 years, considering shipping makes them a lot more expensive. Pins are easier to find in my experience, male-female plugs aren't.

Just bought two iBuffalo SNES USB gamepad

 

[Phuncz]

They look really authentic, do they also feel the same as the original ?

Bought them from Spain with priority international shipping. I'll do a quick review once I have them in hand. I spent quite some time reading classic USB gamepad review and those ones looks like a great product. Unlike Tomee or retrolink, they don't use cheap plastic. The shape and size is the same than the original and buttons / D-pad are responsive with no missed diagonals, feeling is the same than the original (said the reviewers).

Excellent, I'll need to get these some day too ! I used to get mayor blisters on my thumbs while playing Killer Instinct on SNES. I no-lifed that game when one was considered to be mentally ill in that time

Today I received my CPU, RAM and case so I could make another PC, since I had a motherboard, PSU, cooling and storage laying around. This is the Xigmatek Nebula C:

Damn, I assumed it was smaller.

Looking at that layout, it's no wonder why it's so huge and still can't fit much.

But it was cheap, looks unique and light to handle. It also is not built with the most care and cooling seems like an afterthought. I totally bought this on a whim, not caring about efficiency.

And I've also gotten the Intel Pentium G3258 (the OC'ing one, yes) and 2x 4GB of DDR3 VLP Crucial memory. This joined the stuff I already had: AsRock Z87E-ITX, Noctua NH-L12 (with Scythe fan, Noctua fan is in main PC), 1TB HDD and an ST45SF-G (450W SFX PSU).

I'm going to see how far I can overclock the little bugger and after I find a stable one, run it as a game server on our small LAN parties.

Come on Kimera, bring out the Nova !

I recently bought an Odroid-W, which uses the same SOC than the Raspberry Pi A+/B+. The differences are:

• 2x 12 bits ADC connectors
• RTC clock
• LiPo battery header
• Battery "fuel" gauge
• eMMC connector
• half the size of the Raspberry

Planning to use it to build a retrogaming handheld console.

Toys are here

• iBuffalo SNES USB gamepads
• Odroid-W (for my retrogaming handheld project)

Diablo 3 Expansion: Reaper of Souls Collector's Edition. I picked it up cheap and my nephew wants to start playing D3 so I'll give him the key code and keep the goodies, since I already have that expansion in the lowly peasant edition.

Banana, no sorry, Xigmatek for size.

Not exactly for me, those are for my two daugthers' Christmas (they are 6 and 8 years old).

(Damn, I switched Magneto and Wolverine emblems)
