Cheaply done hardware mods, MacGyver style
Here's my Leet 4 Playah Adaptorrr constructed about 6 years ago when I was "grounded" at home being seriously sick for a few weeks, and very bored, so I've created this with the stuff I could find at home (that's why it's screwed to the piece of wood to make the whole construction stable and holds on ducktape mostly,
 ) and invited a few buddies to play DynaBlaster/MasterBlaster/MegaBlast multiplayer!  Works to this day! ... but I don't seem to have many occassions of trying it out lately...   I wanna see what you made! Last edited by Shoonay; 15 May 2008 at 16:44. |

Jings! It is amazing what these machines will take! I did try deconstructing my Atari ST-FM but that was kind of unintentional. It cheesed me off for the last time when playing Gods, it crashed always in the same place (just before lvl 3.2) and I beat it and cried

That's nothing. Didn't MacGyver once defeat someone using the Moon's gravitational pull?

It is indeed MacGyver style as it is made with Duck tape and whatever was to hand - improv. hero style! Now, your next project is to make me a Zorro II graphics card.

@skote
arguably a 1500 macrocell CPLD could run as an interface between Zorro2 and ISA2, you could then most probably run any virgie DX 2/4mb ISA graphics card under cybervision64 3d drivers you up for a bit of VHDL ?

Those 4 player adapters are cool.
But ducktape? Quack! No offence, m8. It's just funny. |
