element14 presents
Vault Build Giveaway

Win the Xbox One X | Win DJ's Pip-Boy 2000 | Win Multi-System Retro Game Controller | Win a Pi 4 Laptop | Build Inside the Box

 

The element14 Community has been home to great video content since 2010 when The Ben Heck Show launched on the Community and the Revision3 network.  One of Ben’s favorite things to do is to tear down and sometimes rebuild electronics gaming devices.  In 2017 (On Episode 315) he voided the warranty on the latest Xbox release, the Xbox One X.

 

Ben didn’t have a build in mind for this unit so he boxed it and we found it in the vault!

 

We’re giving this beauty away to the Community member who would love to build his or her own gaming device mod based on this Xbox One X. 

 

To enter for a chance to win, comment below telling us about your favorite gaming mod that's been posted on the element14 Community. It could be an element14 presents episode or a member project or something from one of our Design Challenges or even something you’ve created.

 

जीतने का मौका देने के लिए, अपने पसंदीदा गेमिंग मोड के बारे में हमें नीचे बताएं जो element14 community पर पोस्ट किया गया है। यह एक element14 presents कार्यक्रम या एक सदस्य प्रोजेक्ट या हमारे डिजाइन चुनौतियों में से एक अथवा आपके द्वारा बनाए गए डिज़ाइन चुनौती में से कुछ हो सकता है|

 

For an entry to be accepted into this contest, you'll need to tell us about your favorite gaming mod - or tell us how you'd like to mod an Xbox One X.

    My favourite mod is the Nintendo Super Scope mod. It was really cool to see it work on modern screens. Tried it myself but couldn't trick it out properly. Anyways thank you all for being such a huge inspiration to me!

    I would add a cooler to suspend the overheating engine, a nice string of RGB lights to add a little ambience to the controllers and the base of the console, with anime style rubber casing over them to dim the amount of light and add extra ambience, and would help greatly with haptic feedback.

    for me it would have to be related to the Nintendo-Playstation mod/tear down. It's so interesting in how things could have went if things actually went to plan and they partnered together.

    I loved the three-episode series where Ben turns the Xbox ONE into a handheld console:

    Episode 164: Ben Heck's Xbox One Portable Part 1 Episode

    Episode 165: Ben Heck's Xbox One Portable Part 2 Episode

    Episode 166: Ben Heck's Xbox One Portable Part 3 Episode

    He uses very interesting solutions when creating this console. I also follow his YouTube channel, where he collects various gadgets. In a relatively recent video, he was reworking an Xbox controller for one-handed operation(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkVXhKxR83I&ab_channel=BenHeckHacks ). I also love to experiment with different gaming devices(Hall sensor AS5600 for Game Wheel) and based on this video I also came up with some interesting ideas for redesigning the Xbox joystick. It would also be interesting to try to make a portable console out of the Xbox One X.

    Mod guru builds "minority report"-inspired power glove to enhance Xbox 360 Kinect motion control on element14's "The Ben Heck Show" thats great actually. I m a middle range guy always up for finding and making mods which are cheap and give high quality experience like xbox features. I liked the glove tech should be used in xbox and vcr. I made controller with arduino and nrf modules.

    My favourite gaming "mod" was something I made for my sons as a reward for them sticking at writing their own games using MakeCode Arcade. It wasn't a complicated one - and just involved a Raspberry Pi Zero, some arcade buttons and a piece of wood. It brought a big smile to my face because it brought a smile to theirs.

    Getting kids coding with MakeCode Arcade

     

    Recently I've been learning Unity and was playing around with the excellent Lego Microgame tutorial. I used this to create A Lego Christmas game for E14. Surprisingly, my 7-year-old decided he really wanted to create his own Lego game in Unity too. Well, I suppose it's not that surprising as it combines two of his favourite things. What really was surprising is that despite Unity being fairly complex he could - with a bit of help from dad - actually follow along and create his own game. He's proficient with block coding in MakeCode, but Unity is a huge step up.

     

    Getting his game running on a PC isn't difficult but he'd be amazed if he could get it running on the Xbox One S he shares with his brother - just like a professional game. Unfortunately it seems that enabling developer mode to load your own games prevents the Xbox being used to play retail games. I'd love to get his game running, but his brother would not be happy if FIFA had gone! If I won the Xbox One X my mod would be a simple one - enable developer mode and let my son upload his game for him and his friends to play.

     

    Update: Completely unprompted, today my son asked to do more with his Lego Microgame. It's always good to see evidence that it's not just a transient interest! Something went wrong saving last time so he started from scratch again. This time I was busy and left him to it. I was amazed when he finished the tutorial unaided and asked me if it was OK to publish the game online as WebGL. I'm mentioning this more as an indication that the tutorial is good than suggesting that my son is a genius. I was pleased he showed some good internet safety sense though.
