IDK, it might be made to work. A and B could be used to control wheel speed and then directional pad made to control actual movements. Casual driveling could be accomplished like this with relative comfort. Unfortunately you would still need the gas & break pedal though. Then what the hell woul...

as blargg stated, the regulator makes quite a dent in power consumption. If you could rather find a 5v battery (or combination of batteries making such voltage), you could bypass the regulator altogether.

Asperger Syndrome

It seems everywhere I go there's a large concentration of people with Aspergers Syndrome, so let's make a poll out of how many members here have it! ^_^

Though the copynes does require desoldering the CPU which DOES contain all the sound hardware, it shouldn't cause any problems.

I never looked into it, but probably not. The only reason ACWW was region-specific was because all the different character sets, etc & the game cart was already jam packed! (I mean, damn, 128MB only w/o extra bankswitching HW, but still imagine how much SROM that game requires! The GC version to...

Just use NROM. It's the easiest to program for & you can get them just about anywhere. Pull any SMB or Duck Hunt (wouldn't go w/ SMB/Duck Hunt though, higher chance of blobbed ROM's) cart & desolder the ROMs.

I'm too lazy to read to see if this is already mentioned, but don't forget that you'd have to rewrite the collision subroutine to check if you've hit the other player or not, otherwise you'll die from touching your brother (either appropriately or inappropriately). Furthermore, how exactly would rea...

What peppers said. The whole idea of the pushy-down-clicky-thing, though only designed to cause problems apparently, is required for the console to function properly.
