Alan Robinson, the same person who posted the DIY Raspberry Pi lag test project has started work on an updated “high end” version that doesn’t require the use of a camera. The original version was software that lit the Pi’s LED at the same time that it sent a signal to your TV, allowing a […]
An unreleased NES game based on the movie Days Of Thunder was just re-created and released. This was accomplished by reconstructing data found across several 5.25″ floppy disks.
