ARCADE HACKS
Phozon English Hack
The original arcade version of Namco's "Phozon", hacked into English (using the official translation taken from Namco Museum Vol. 3 on the PS1). This was a major pain in the ass. I could go into more detail about how it works but as of the time of me writing this I feel exhausted just thinking about it.

Building a Power Block
This is a bit of a convoluted mess, but bear with me. I'm gonna attempt to explain my experience building a power block using the Bob Roberts AC Wiring writeup.
To break this down into simple terms, you need the following:
- 3/4 thickness plywood (cut into a 10x10 or 12x12 inch square)
- A Happ PowerPro switching power supply
- An EMI filter
- An isolation transformer
- 18AWG wire in whatever colors you choose
- Cable clamps
- A cordless drill
- A wire crimping tool
- A soldering station and solder
- Various flavors of Molex connectors with male and female pins

HIGH VOLTAGE MEGASHOCK SURGING THROUGH MY VEINS
THE JOYSTICK AND BUTTONS ARE ONE WITH ME
THE CHARACTER I CONTROL AN EXTENSION OF MY SOUL
MY SYNAPSES PULSE WITH ELECTRIC MUSIC
ECHOING IN MY HEAD LONG AFTER THE GAME IS OVER
I LIVE TO PLAY AND PLAY TO LIVE
AND WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE
DROP IN A QUARTER AND PRESS START
I'M THERE TO CHEER YOU ON
