A topic near and dear to my heart since I was active in the XBox scene for sometime and made the original TeraBox – 4 Harddrive Xbox.
Here MVG Shows how the XBox was hacked and mod chips worked to open up the XBox for modders and Homebrew.
Projects
Various projects I work on
Gameboy Case video is online!
I finally had some time to make a demonstration of the Gameboy modular case and get it uploaded!

Gameboy / Gameboy Color / Gameboy Advance Modular Case
The final touches have been applied to the GB/GBC/GBA modular case, and the files are on my Thingiverse!
I’ve made several updates, design changes and fixes to this “final” (I hope) version of the setup.
You can also check out full details on our Forums under the Console section.
Gameboy, Gameboy Color and possibly Gamboy Advanced modular cartridge cases.
I printed out the full set of parts for version 2.3 of my Gameboy cartridge modular case and snapped everything together last night.
The cartridge pieces work perfect and everything fits together nice and snug, though the new frame pieces I added in version 2.3 need a slit bit of work.
OctoPrint and PSU Control to control the power of your 3D printer.
I finally finished up the video for PSU Control with OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi and using a 5v relay to control the power of your 3D printer.
This will allow you to keep your Octoprint setup running, without the printer being powered on all the time when not in use.
Just log into your OctoPrint web console and power up the printer when you are ready.
I also have a brief write up, with links to all items as well as 3D printed parts in use.
PiBro, PinkyPi’s big brother!
Now that I am wrapping up PinkyPi , I’ve decided to start building out the second device I wanted to make. This new Mini Handheld device will use an Adafruit Joy Bonnet with Stereo speakers and a larger screen and battery.
I did end up going with a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ for this build, for abit more CPU power
Gameboy / Gameboy Color stackable game case.
I happened to be watching an episode of Talk About Games, from the YouTube Channel Cinemassacre, and they mentioned the desire for a stackable and connecting Gameboy cartridge case.
Of course I rushed to Sketchup and made a quick doodle, followed up with the case on the printer now being printed.
This is currently still very beta, and I have yet to test fit a game, or the case together… I will be updating it once I verify fitment, and I plan to drastically change the interconnection method.
Though you can find it on Thingiverse at
PinkyPi v2.0 being tested!
Version 2.0 of the Public release of PinkyPi is about to print and be play tested! I’ve made several small design changes to the case and layout as well as upgraded buttons!
You can find the details in our forums
PinkyPi full build version 2 is complete!
PinkyPi prototype full build 2 is together and being play tested. This is based off PinkyPi version 1.2 source code on my Thingiverse
I am working on the build video and parts list if you want to make your own at home. To simplify the process, I am also working on a prefab PCB that will be available for purchase so you can easily build one without a large majority of the wiring hassle.
Stay tuned for more!
