Adding LEDs makes everything better. Watch this video as a regular old DS gets turned into one of the most awesome things on the planet. A ton of LEDs were added, some to the body, some to an extra cartridge, some behind buttons.

John created a scrolling game by using Scratch. By using the GUI based programming environment, he was able to create his own version of Mario. The game isn't fully complete, but it has a lot of good going for it.

A few months ago I fell into a Nintendo DS for cheap. Somebody wanted a new phone. . . So once I got my hands on it, I just had to stickerfy it. Here are some shots of the process of putting custom vinyl skins on my ds.

Hot on the heels of their recent rapid-fire mod, the creative minds at AcidMods have turned out yet another useful hack for for the Wii controller. This time around, they’ve replaced the peripheral’s A button with a clickable trackball (modified for use with any console no less), allowing the player to quickly navigate menus without readjusting their hold on the Wiimote.

Interesting-looking free program that uses your webcam to track any object as a rotational and translational game controller. I haven't tried it yet, but I can't wait to play Tetris with my shoe.

[bunnie] managed to pick up a Nintendo DSi while in Japan. It seems he had the device running less than an hour before he tore it down for an impromptu hotel photoshoot.
