Welcome!
Welcome to Spritesmods. At this site, I'll document my more interesting hacks for your viewing pleasure. While it's not updated that regularly, I try to add an article about every month.
For now (begin 2013) the amount of hacks will be a tad lower. At the moment I'm in the USA for a while; after that I'll be preparing a talk for Ohm2013 which is going to be pretty awesome. but will need some work to get right.
Ow, by the way: all the pictures are thumbnails. You can click on them to get the originals, straight from my camera. If you want to comment on an article, there's a discussion area at the last page of every one of 'em.
You can follow Spritesmods on Twitter too if you want to know about the projects I'm working on, that may or may not eventually make it to the site.

I can get it to validate coins fairly well directly after calibrating it, but temperature, humidity, the phase of the moon and who knows what else makes it pretty unreliable even after sitting for just one day, making it kinda useless. I'm still planning on picking up the project again, but I'm not sure when I'll find the time.
Hi! I wonder if you can suggest me the coin validator to allow me validate 2 different coins. AED 1 or 50 fils. On validation of AED 1 I should get the SHORT pulse or on insertion of 2 50 fils i should get5 a SHORT pulse.I would want to know if I can get the interface as well to give me ingformation through the LCD about the status.Requesting to "insert coin". Then giving message while it is processing to "Please Wait" .
any information about your coin video please ? what sensor are you using ?
Hi, Thought you would be interested to see the project we have developed. CryptX2: an Open Source Hardware Encrypted Storage Device The campaign is up for about 2 more weeks at http://www.indiegogo.com/CryptX2 Or the main website is here http://www.cryptx2.com/ Let us know if you have any questions or feedback about it. Thanks
Very cool! I did a somewhat similar hack not long ago, but since I didn't know about the ZIF socket I used the more expensive 360 Clip and a RPi to bit-bang it. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16775 The main issue with the 360 Clip is that the contact with the NAND is not very good, and in addition part of the PCB sticks out of the clip, leading to inability to position the clip if there is a high enough component, like a capa, on one side of the NAND.
I can't wait!
J.W.: I hear ya! I've got a small project that's almost done, and after that hopefully a nice story about hacking, security and getting to bits of 'secret' code... if I succeed that is :)
Anxiously awaiting your next project!!
Hey, tried your wiimote patch for latest mam2 (146), complied and install all fine however when playing any shooting game the target seems to randomly jump to the top of the screen and them back to where your aiming e.g. jumpy. Any idea why this would be happening? P.S its not the batteries or IR source (works fine on desktop, just jumpy in mame). Thanks
Rashid: Even if I did know what an AED is or fils are, I have no clue about commercial coin validators. I suggest you go contact some manufacturers of those, which imo you should have done long before commenting here.
