Throwback project from 2005 !!
I brought my old NES back to life by turning it into a giant handheld console, just like a Gameboy. It took a lot of work to fit everything into a small case that I built myself out of Lexan. I used a cheap controller with turbo buttons and a screen from a PlayStation 1. I even managed to squeeze in a rechargeable battery that lasts for over 3 hours!
The hardest part was making sure everything fit together and worked properly without changing the way the NES played games. I wanted to keep the original sound and feel, and I didn't want to use one of those imitation chips. In the end, it turned out a little heavy, but it's comfortable to hold and definitely worth the effort!

The controversy over the Great Red Spot had lasted for centuries. Was it a single endless storm, or merely (if anything sixteen thousand klicks across can be “mere”!) a series of storms that came and went.
The question was more than academic for the inhabitants of Olympus City, floating above the Jovian cloud deck, supplying helium and honeymoons to the rest of the Solar system. The notion that a storm of that size might form on radically brief timescale was a potential existential threat.
The /Creti/ expedition took over five weeks to reach the Spot from Olympus’s equatorial location, three dirigibles powered by ammonia-breathing ramjets. Two of the craft—/Bellona/ and /Lucina/— held back to observe and relay data while the third—/Minerva/—flew over the spot, preparing to descend into the Eye.
Back at Olympus, the scientists of /Creti/ were held rapt by the telemetry feed and radio transmissions from /Minerva/.
“We’re beginning descent from nominal zero level. One kilometre…two…ten”. It would be a long night but nobody thought of sleep. Eventually: “One hundred and twenty kilometers; we have reached the vertical midpoint of the storm. Conditions here at the eye are stable, we are launching probes now.”
Olympus hung on every word and datum.
“Oh. Oh no. Olympus we have a problem”
Through the confused babble in the control room a few phrases stood out:
“It’s breaking up”
“It’s not a storm, it’s a swarm”
“They’re heading your way”

Do you have a book that you are currently reading? (To qualify, it has to be a book - physical, e-book or audiobook - that you have read within the past 3 days.)
