Roomba Hack Turns Your Home Into a DOOM Level

If you've always dreamed that your home could be a DOOM level, or just feel that you live in a hellish environment, then this hack might be for you. You'll need a recent Roomba (the 980 model is confirmed with this hack) and a copy of the DOOMBA software.

The hack allows for the 3D camera on the Roomba to be used to generate levels while it does its daily duties. The software will automatically generate hazards, enemies, and weapons. As always, be wary of any unofficial software, but if you take the plunge, have fun.

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

It appears that a someone going by the screenname of RetroN Labo on Youtube has successfully hacked the Retron 5 console to run the full version of Retroarch. In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan. As the stock firmware from the Retron 5 is programmed to load games from an original cartridge when it is inserted, this hack appears to run ROM and ISO files, most likely from the SD card slot built into the back of the console. In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission.

Hyperkin's latest v2.2 firmware for the Retron 5 is a bug-filled mess which for many people (myself included) will ruin your Genesis experience. As soon as I upgraded, my Genesis carts would no longer be detected by the system, and sometimes, even the other cartridge slots would stop detecting games. These were carts that worked perfectly fine on prior firmwares. They also work on the original consoles (which I also own) flawlessly. At this time, the Hyperkin website only links you to the v2.2 firmware or strangely enough, the v2.0 beta 6 firmware . The only fix in my case, was to downgrade back to v2.1 which resolved my issues. Game cartridges once again detected just fine. For those of you out there wondering, downgrading is the easy part. Finding the links for the prior firmware files was the painful par...
