Nokia N900 gamepad hack [is Awesome]

   

 

Ah the good ol’ Nokia N900. Is there anything that phone couldnt do? While we havent heard much from the Maemo scene lately, the Nokia phone-tablet has gotten a pretty awesome little homebrew mod.

Polish hacker Emeryth, has a custom gamepad on the QWERTY slider, to help video game emulation be more comfortable on your thumbs. The ATmega8A microcontroller based exposed overlay plugs directly into the device’s microUSB port. The result? Eight buttons and a PSP-like analog stick.

Ah. The good ol’ Nokia N900.
