Take any gadgeteer kit with a color display, add Valentin’s Chucky module, add some DIY mounting rig and you have a one-of-a-kind gaming console. I personally got to play with it at MADExpo 2012 and was really surprised to how well the display sits on the controller. It is very solid.
Take a look: Gadgeteer game console using Wii classic controller
The console was programmed with Pack Man game, which was developed by someone else in the community. I am sorry I can’t remember the name. Can someone remind me please?
Here is the game but now with the FEZ Spider kit inside a nice florescent game console. The design is available on ponoko if you want one!

The name of the person who made the game is Chris Taylor aka taylorza on the forum.
I love this. I’d like to see a video of Architect playing the game with the Wii controller.

Those interested in the code for the game can download it from codeplex http://chrismcstuff.codeplex.com/
It includes a basic game engine with Pacman as the sample game.
I can confirm how easy it is to get running…I downloaded the code and had it up and running on my arcade enclosure at MADExpo in a matter of a few minutes. Only thing I had trouble with was figuring out how to hook up a button for reset.

Likewise I can confirm Architect’s Chucky module for Wii Classic Controller is easy to work with - I’ve already got it up and running and I haven’t even actually received it yet! It’s in the post but meanwhile I also got hold of a thing called ‘WiiChuck’ [link], and if I breadboard it with an extender to connect power, ground, and I2C pins SDA and CLK, and use Architect’s library [link], works flawlessly - two analog sticks and fifteen buttons out of one socket, tremendous.
I can’t take credit for this. Thanks to the amazing community and contributions that made this happen.

Very cool, anyone know of something similar to MADexpo on the west coast?
Not that I am aware of, however we get requests to on occasion to have other venues… shoot me an email to spresley at madexpo dot us if you don’t mind - would like to discuss your interest further
