hacking game machines

games are a defining medium of our time. the majority of them is produced
by multinational corporations, designed to appeal to the mass audience,
locked on drm-protected and region-coded data media, and sold,
shrink-wrapped in plastic. yet resourceful hackers and artists are working
on the liberation of this medium. serious games, homebrew games, and game
art are results of their great efforts. martin pichlmair and his guests
will present a number of game machine hacks - from a modified pinball
machine dating back to the 70s to musical instruments running on the
nintendo ds. let's crack open the game machine a bit further.
