One fine day good ol’ C-Tzar was very “disappoint” with his old game port style flight sim gaming joystick so with some fine tuned hackery he custom modified the ye olde Suncom 18 button 2 axis joystick from its original state to a new HID joystick/keyboard/mouse combo by removing all of its original components and custom designing an Atmega usb 32u4 board of his own making to control all the inputs. Its new functionality allows it to not only be a custom gaming controller but a fully functional one handed controller device for gaming and not gaming alike. These new added features allow him to setup custom schemes for older dos games allowing for easier use with games allowing mouse, keyboard, joystick or all 3 at the same time. All features are usable in and outside of games alike for easy of use with whatever applicable implementation one could think of now into the future.

Retro Gaming & Computing Night 2010

It’s that time again folks! The second annual Retro Gaming and Computing Night. Come on out to Makers Local 256 at 203 Brown St on July 3rd for a night of nostalgia, good food, and good people.

We’re celebrating the classics that made us the geeks and nerds we are today. Remember, 16 bit or older computers and games. That’s nothing newer than SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, or IBM 386sx. You’re welcome to bring your own system and/or games. Emulation is permitted but only if necessary. We’ll have plenty of TVs and a couple of projectors going, grilling out at 7pm, and a keg on hand. BYOB is welcome.

Mario Kart tournament at 9pm, with a bit of a twist. Hope to see you there!
