Ben Heck - Console Hacker Extraordinare
I’ve recently seen a number of people reaching my site by searching for Ben Heck — the mastermind behind a number of amazing portable gaming systems. (See my recent interview with Ben)
Not only does Ben have the amazing technical knowledge that is necessary to piece these wonders together, but he also has great design sense. The handhelds seem to be sturdy and sport a retro/modern look that I love. I’m surpised a big manufacturer hasn’t hired him away 
I’ve covered a couple of his projects in the past, but I’ve decided to do a little tribute post featuring his most interesting projects. Click on either the name or the picture of the project to find out more information and see larger pictures.
If you would like to find out how to create these projects yourself, Ben shares his guides and techniques on both BenHeck.com and his book, “Hacking Videogame Consoles”
