The Projects

Arcade Joysticks for the Sony Playstation

Gut an old PSX controller and use it to construct a tough, arcade-quality joystick. For about $40 (less, if you have a controller to sacrifice), you too can spread fear and loathing with your very own Frankenstick. It works for the Saturn, too!

Foot Pedal for Namco's GunCon

No Time Crisis nut should be without a Namco GunCon and industrial footswitch. Stomp until your foot falls off for about $20 of parts and an hour of work.

Tiny foot pedal. ACTION!

Game Show Controllers for You Don't Know Jack

Using a cheap-o $10 PC keyboard as the core, you can construct cool controls for Berkeley Systems' fine trivia game series You Don't Know Jack. Final project cost depends on how fancy you want to make your setup, but it could be as little as $30. Project in progress...

The project pages have a large number of inline jpegs, a necessary evil. If you have a slow connection you may wish to turn automatic image loading off. All of the photos have alternate text labels for your browsing pleasure.

Legalese
You Don't Know Jack and the disturbingly-large forehead logo are trademarks of Berkeley Systems Inc. and are used without permission, but I'd sure like to think that if some Berkeley Systems lawyer saw this site, he (or she) would say to themselves, "Hmm, this guy is promoting one of our products and what's more seems to be quite clever, so because of that, and the fact that I just sued the bejeezus out of someone else and I am feeling pretty good today, I think I'll let this site slip by without a lawsuit so big it would probably undergo a gravitational collapse and form a black hole that would eventually eat the whole planet."
