DinoBOY is a one-button dinosaur-jumping handheld designed to replace phone scrolling. Opening its lid wakes it up. The creator says its hidden NFC tag switches a phone to airplane mode. It also works as a clock and Bluetooth keyboard.

Maker DocJade developed a custom file system to load the game Factorio from a large collection of floppy disks. Files are split across disks, and the user must manually swap in the disk requested during loading.

With only one drive, swapping disks becomes the main bottleneck. Even after optimizing the system to reduce swaps, loading the game takes about a week.

A port of Super Mario 64 lets Microsoft's 2009 Zune HD music player run the Nintendo 64 game. It supports on-screen touch controls, sound and saving, and the creator says it runs mostly at full speed.

Developer rsheldiii published the project on GitHub. It doesn't distribute the game itself; users must supply a ROM dumped from their own cartridge to build it.

Shigemichi Enoshima made another attempt at modifying an arcade fight stick to perform special moves more reliably in Street Fighter 6.

He bought a used controller and replacement joystick parts, then chose a riverbank for the project. Despite launching a tiny retaining clip into the grass, he found it again and made good progress. In the middle of the work, he noticed that his trouser fly had been open for an unknown amount of time, possibly since shopping in Akihabara.

The modification ultimately worked, making special moves much easier to perform.

LastComputer turned a badly damaged Samsung Galaxy S23 into a desktop gaming computer. The build combines the phone's mainboard with a 512 GB SSD, USB hubs including HDMI output, and an added cooling fan.

The creator straightened the bent frame with a hammer and installed a replacement battery. A heatsink and fan lowered temperatures by about seven degrees Celsius compared with the phone's original cooling setup. Samsung DeX provides the desktop environment, with PS2 emulation and other games demonstrated.

RayTriangle built a game console inside a tiny television antenna plug, including its battery. An ESP32-S3 generates the video and audio signals for an older PAL television and runs DOOM.

Two small circuit boards sit on either side of the battery and connect through a flexible cable. The system creates an analog television carrier signal, while a Bluetooth game controller handles input.

Hasbro's 1999 Easy-Bake Kitchen is a plastic kitchen playset that straps over a standard PC keyboard. Moving its measuring cup, egg, mixer, oven door and other controls simply presses real keys underneath, letting children operate the accompanying CD-ROM cooking game through a physical toy interface.

LGR's Clint Basinger revisited the hardware in September 2026 and eventually remapped its controls to play DOOM II. A toy designed to turn a keyboard into a pretend kitchen becomes, decades later, an extremely impractical FPS controller.
