Latest Altoids artwork


Medium: Altoids tin, Keyspan USA-19HS (modified), PS2 Multitap (modified), 74HCT04 inverting buffer, discrete passive components, solder, wire, epoxy.

Artist’s inspiration: Dorky boyfriend that crafts Final Fantasy Tactics characters with the precision of a meticulous dungeonmaster :)

(Yes, it’s a USB Playstation memory card reader/writer. Firmware and source code for Mac OS and Linux is in Subversion. The software doesn’t yet support PS2 cards.)

  1. That’s pretty awesome. :O How much work does it take to make something like that? It comes out looking all neat and shiny – it seems like the hardest part is making it look good.

    Nice! How goes the PS2 support? What are your problems supporting these cards?

    I did a little bit of reverse-engineering work toward supporting PS2 cards, but I haven’t actually spent any time on it recently. I probably won’t get around to implementing PS2 support until the motivation strikes me.
