I am wondering how much of a hassle it is to add support for my ir keyboard in pikey. Anyone done this themselves? I know I could just buy a targus board but I would really like to make mine work regardless of the time it takes. It is a dhintec. I have some programming experience oldshcool like in basic and machine language from my C64 days and have experience in programming in C+ and serial device input/output mapping to complete small projects I have done in the past (for the old footbal card hacking direct tv... it was fun while it lasted) so I am hoping this wouldnt be much more difficult. Any pointing in the right directions would be greatly appreaciated

Welcome to this week's toys update. Check out the wonderful collectibles we just got in stock and all the new products made available for preorder.
As toys, especially collectible ones, are produced in limited numbers and are often sold out prior to the actual release date, we strongly recommend to preorder the figures of your desire as early as possible.
This is indeed an exciting week for all fans of Shin Megami Tensei, especially those of the Nocturne game. First we managed to locate restocks for this tremendously well recieved RPG, now we have the matching trading figures as our weekly special.
Although these figures are tiny, they are crafted and colored with care in full detail as seen in the pictures. Persuade these demons or deities to join forces with you in the game and get them to come home with you to join your increasing collection. This sixth volume include: Odin, Astarot, Troll, Pixie, Laksmi, Barong and a secret version.
The figures from Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne One Coin Series Part 6 are now sold at a bargain price of US$ 1.99 each and the maximum purchase is limited to 12 pieces per customer. Please notice that the figures are shipped out randomly. If you want a factory sealed container, please order twelve pieces. As usually, this weekly special is valid for exactly 1 week (if not sold out earlier).
Plenty of cool toys came out this week. We have one of the most popular women in gaming history, Mai Shiranui from the King of Fighters. The ninja is dressed in a glamorous black and gold tunic and holding fans which can be opened and folded up. Although she is a lethal fighter in the arena, this figure emphasized her traditional Japanese sense of grace and beauty.
Final Fantasy Miniature Trading Figures Vol. 2 is the highlight of April. Although these characters are all deadly fighters in the battle field, they are showing their lovable sides in this series.
It is an absolute treat to see how taciturn characters like Squall and Auron preserve their coolness and tough image even after they were adorably super deformed.
Preorders for Sonic the Hedgehog figures are opened this week. Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog is amongst the most recognizable mascots in gaming communities and this twelve inch statue of him cannot be overlooked.
Standing at twelve inches tall and manufactured at a limited number of three thousand pieces worldwide, this is a true collectible in high demand and we recommend our customers to preorder as soon as possible to avoid dissapointment.
Drawn by the famous illustrator Pop and sculpted by Morikawa Hiromitsu, both specialize in drawing and making cute girls, Little Red Riding Hood is the very best example of moe (translates loosely as excitingly cute.)
Painted in pastel hues with her removable hood, Little Red Riding Hood is a perfect companion for anyone.

I was at the flea market in Oakland yesterday when a pile of EPROMs caught my eye. When I got them home I found that they were prototypes for Colecovision games. A few were unpublished or saw limited runs, like Video Hustler (billiards). Others were fully released, like WarGames. But the crown jewel is what look to be a number of chips with various revisions of Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park for Atari 2600. This game was never released and has never been seen. It was a port of the version for Colecovision, and this lot of chips also included the Coleco version. So now I have to find someone who can dump EPROMs gently onto a PC so we can play this never-before seen game, which is almost certainly awful.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more meta than a full NES clone hacked into an NES controller, somebody goes and mods up an NES cart to play Famicom cartridges. The all-in-one unit includes a pair of controller plugs, video out and that all-important reset switch in a pretty slick package. That's great and all, but when our grandkids start building PS3 clones out of discarded Blu-ray cases, we're seriously going to start freaking out.

One of Japan's hottest boy bands, Arashi (storm in Japanese) released the DVD recording of their concert Summer Tour 2007 Final Time - Kotoba No Chikara.

Get swept away by the stunning artwork and haunting piano scores that accompany the bitter sweet stories of growing up.

Shamelessly attempting to rip off a plethora of yesteryear's gaming handhelds all at once isn't a new trick or anything, but you'd expect the creators of the Cool Boy to at least conjure up a name with some inkling of originality, right? Nevertheless, the portable, um, system features a 2.4-inch color display, gets juiced from a trio of AAA cells and even includes a video out port for taking the sweet handheld action to the 13-inch CRT. Of course, the thing only works with Cool Boy Mega Pack game cartridges, which means that even the homebrew crowd is likely out of luck here. But hey, you can get 120 sure-to-be-riveting titles in a single cart for just $7.99.

Welcome to this week's toys update. Check out the wonderful collectibles we just got in stock and all the new products made available for preorder.
As toys, especially collectible ones, are produced in limited numbers and are often sold out prior to the actual release date, we strongly recommend to preorder the figures of your desire as early as possible.
The bargain of the week is a classic item and a true gem. Burst Angel Meg pioneered Yamato's CREATOR'S LABO figure series. This series features works from the greatest figure designers and sculptors of the industry like Meg's designer Ganyon (Kang Yong) and the famous Yamashita Shunya.
Meg is a charming girl with a sunny disposition and Ganyon has captured the essence of her personality to the last detail. She is now sold at a bargain price of US$ 19.90 only and the maximum purchase is limited to 1 piece per customer. As usually, this weekly special is valid for exactly 1 week (if not sold out earlier).
Quite a lot of cute small figures and toys are released this week. Like their counterparts in the game, Monster Hunter Pig Collection Trading Figures comforts the players after an intense hunt. They restore their gamers vitality simply by being there and looking sweet.
Other small toys released this week are Star Wars Lightsaber Keyrings and Tokyo Tower Light Up Collection Gashapon. Although they are from different dimensions, one is from the quintessential Star Wars series and the other is a landmark of one of the world's coolest cities, they light up the dull black night with a simple switch.
Lots of new preorders are opened this week. One of them is Final Fantasy XII Play Art Arms Box Set. Own all the weapons featured in the hottest RPG in one go. They are carefully replicated to the most minute of details and are real valuable collector's items.
Idol Master: Futami Mami is one of young girls who aspires to become an idol with you as her producer. It's difficult to gage her true potential through a TV screen, so she is made into a figure to be scrutinized under the critical eye of top producers.

We're still reeling from Ben Heck's amazing PS3 laptop (which we'll be auctioning off for charity soon) but the man just hit us again with this amazing Apple IIGS laptop. Based off an original IIGS motherboard, the one-of-a-kind laptop features a 15-inch color screen, custom acrylic keyboard, a CompactFlash-based hard drive, and -- most importantly -- a glowing blue IIGS logo that flashes yellow during disk access.

Super Genintari is the latest mega-console mod by Richard DaLuz, a perfect cocktail of Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, Genesis and Super NES enclosed in a retro-'80s bronze acrylic case, "formed and shaped on a homemade stript heater." It connects to a TV using a single cable, running four games simultaneously, and probably cooks bread with the generated heat—like the video shows after the jump. We talked with Richard about his superconsole mod:

Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com. Around 340 new items are covered in this week, including new J-Pop, Anime as well as Japanese, Hong Kong and Western movie releases and much more.
The young and talented singer and song writer YUI released her third album I Loved Yesterday [standard and limited edition] this spring. Her voice is not compared to an angel's harp for it's soothing timbre alone, but also for the encouraging messages that her songs carried.
Hamasaki Ayumi celebrated the 10th year anniversary of her debut with a new single Mirrorcle World [Type: A, B, C and D]. Instead of singing about love and hope like YUI, Mirrorcle World is about disillusionment and the cold distant society. Check here for all Hamasaki Ayumi's products at Play-Asia.com.
