• Game Boy online? Det viser sig, chez du kan spille Game Boy på nettet

Nintendo's Game Boy console continues to impress as hardware engineers have successfully hacked the handheld console to play Tetris against another player - via an internet connection. The hardware hackers explained on YouTube how they took control of the console's original local multiplayer support using the private link cable connector and tricked the aging handheld console en spille y spilris a través de Internet del vedenå Boy ved. However, it required some programming skills on the part of the engineers: they used Raspberry Pi connectors that fed data via the link cable to a custom PC client, which then sent the same data to the same web server, to which the data was then fed. the fodder. The link cable interface protocol is not generic, so each game must have the protocol customized to make it work with the web server in the same way as their Tetris example. Man stacksmashing demonstrator, such a thing is possible, so in theory any Game Boy game that uses the link cable for local multijugador can be played online. There's even a Discord channel for interested retro gamers, and custom boards are planned to better interface the link cable to the Raspberry Pi (instead of having to cut the cable and connect the wires to the board yourself). Stacksmashing has also open sourced the code they used so anyone who wanted to try and play the original Dr. Mario online, might give it a try.

Gammel Tech Dør Aldrig Helmet

Stacksmashing made the news earlier this year when they hacked a Game Boy to mine bitcoin (albeit at a snail's pace), and a clever hardware hacker managed to get a modified SNES console to produce real-time ray-traced graphics. While most people often view old technology as useless clutter that takes up space in drawers, closets and basements all over the world, in reality a menudo there is very little actually wrong with the underlying hardware. There is even a whole generation of homebrew programmers writing new, exciting and terrifyingly original games that can run on the Game Boy console for simple than three decades. Procesador, memory and electronic circuits are incredibly versatile sizes, and there is nothing that prevents them from being reprogrammed to do all sorts of things the original creators of the technology never imagined.
