Hack Like Heck - Dave Ploeger - davedarko - FAME BOY

That was one of my favorite bits. I laughed pretty good at that one. Nice!

kepp up good work

Thanks a lot the temperature was room temperature if not higher after a lot of failed tests. You don't need that much heat for PLA, it's not even necessary to have a heated bed with that material, not like with ABS and others, so I'm certain at this point that it wasn't the temperature. I tried with both printers and new nozzles, but it wouldn't even load the material and that process heats the extruder up enough for every material.

The NASA look-a-like sticker says ANAM, which is coincidently a Turkish "nickname" for Mum but also the initials of a short German "saying" that says something not so nice about every women but Mum. I've used that for a while on shirts and played around with designs.

Grounding was a precaution because the screen came in a big box with a lot of pink foam and I had to cut through 2 stickers that warned me about zapping the screen - so it felt necessary, especially since I didn't have the time to wait for another one

I really liked your project! Too bad the filament you bought didn't work out -- how hot was the temperature in the room? A lot of times when my husband is printing stuff he needs to run a separate space heater to get the prints to come out right. Out of curiosity -- what was that NASA looking sticker near your printer?

Kudos for grounding yourself when you were soldering the circuit board. Safety first! =)

thanks a lot the cartridge reader was what motivated me to take part!

Adding my vote purely for the built-in cart reader. I’m a huge Gameboy fan and LOVE hacks like this. (I haven’t even watched the whole video yet.)

I love the modern MacGyver background theme also, nice assistant btw.

Good luck

Cool, sounds very interesting, thanks.

looks like a second for a megabyte looks achievable

Thanks a lot! There are serial cartridge readers that take a while for big cartridges, but mine should be a lot faster since the transmission isn't limited by a baudrate per se. I do want to change the firmware to a mass storage device like system at one point, just for the ease of it. But my skills aren't the best when it comes to LUFA and programming in CPP. Paul Stoffregen did a speedtest in the serial mode, here are the results for that: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/usb_serial.html
