04-25-08 :: LonghornEngineer is Evolving!

It has been a while, hasn't it? There are going to be a couple site changes that will happen over the next few days. The Animation section is getting the axe, because it was while it was part of my life's work, it really wasn't all that relevant to the site. LonghornEngineer has become a more of a modding site than anything else, and I really like the direction it has turned.

As you can see, there is now an ad on the right side bar. Due to the massive influx of bandwidth usage, I'm having to cough up $45 a month to keep the site up. I'll try to keep the ads relevant and somewhat subtle (e.g. no dancing kittehs).

I have also decided to stop offering Video Mod Kits. This is solely based on the fact that I mod for fun, and when something becomes not fun I see no reason to pursue it. The video mods were just that, I simply don't enjoy making them anymore. But don't fret, if you still want a modded Atari, I will still perform an A/V mod if you send me yours. Sorry to anyone that has been waiting for a kit.

03-26-08 :: NESp V3

Hey guys, I finished my new portable, the NESp V3. This is my first portable that uses a AEIComp LCD screen and a NOAC. The NESp V3 is also the first that would actually qualify as "portable," seeing as my last couple of portables weren't exactly the kind you could just whip out in class. Here is the link to the updated worklog.

03-23-08 :: More Updates

Video mods are rolling pretty good so far. I already completed the 7800. I need to put it through some more tests, but so far the tests have yielded very positive results. Next up: the 5200. The 5200 should be very similar to the 7800, seeing as both mods don't require amplification of the chroma signal, unlike the 2600's. The 2600's are basically done,but I want to run them through a few more tests before I ship them out. So far I've used my 34" Insignia LCD and my Sony Bravia LCD do perform the tests, and once I test them on some CRT's I will ship a couple out to testers for feedback.
