This book builds on the motto of "Have Fun While Voiding Your Warranty" and will appeal to the community of hardware geeks who associate unscrewing the back of their video console with para-jumping into the perfect storm. * Providing a reliable, field-tested guide to hacking all of the most popular video gaming consoles. * Written by some of the most knowledgeable and recognizable names in the hardware hacking community. * Game Console Hacking is the first book on the market to show game enthusiasts (self described hardware geeks) how to disassemble, reconfigure, customize and re-purpose their Atari, Sega, Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox systems. |
