So, I go to a game store today that I rarely go to... and picked up a NIB N64 modem/keyboard.
I thought I knew the N64 pretty well but someone this one totally slipped by me.
-
O_o
Ebay that ---smurfette---.. seriously..
-
It is nothing special.
It was some sort of action replay sort of thing, where you would connect to a closed network run by them, and have access to special cheats and other information.
Completely worthless it was.
-
It says you could send email and had 5 email accounts, so clearly it was ISP in nature too.
-
Well...
It was still a closed network. You couldn't go browsing around wherever you chose. It was just their site.
Allowing you to have email isn't all that great of a benefit for such a gimped device.

Nothing personal against CT or the device. :P
It was just a turd of a product.
I was just making it clear that it had NO online gaming ability, or even any real web browsing ability for that matter.
-
I wasn't looking for online ability... I wonder if it could be haxored for marginal ISP use... that would be funky.

Well...
Sorry.
Didn't mean to come in here crapping in your oatmeal, as the saying goes. :)
It hasn't been hacked to this day, but I dunno if it was just due to lack of interest or to actual lack of ability.
Good luck.
-
Eh, things that have already been hacked are not fun.
Things to hack, fun.
-
any pictures of said device(s)? :)
-
Not yet, it's still sitting in my car.
-
Well, from the very beginning I assumed we were talking about the Sharkwire...

If that is NOT what we are talking about, then I will quietly slide back into the dark corner over there. :)
-
Yeah, that's it.
Would look good with another translucent N64. I have like ten N64s but they're all the standard grey.
-
I'm almost afraid to ask. Why do you have 10? ;D

For a while I was working on completing the domestic N64 library. I got most of them at yard sales where if you want the 8 games, you have to buy the console too.
At some point I'll probably RGB mod them and sell them off.

For the ChadTower Historical Console Video Game/ Computer And Other Stuff Museum he plans to build ;D

I actually wanted a small display like that for a while... not really anymore. Never wanted computers, though.
