I did buy these 2 color hand held Neo-Geo pocket color on www.ebay.fr When I start playing with the SNK Neo Geo back in 1991 (till 2000), I was never thinking of buying one of these Neo-geo Pocket Color. I am now trying to complete my collection of SNK Neo-geo stuff

The CDZ was released in 1996 as the Japanese market replacement for SNK's previous efforts (the "front loader" and the "top loader"). The Neo Geo CD had met with limited success due to it being plagued by slow loading times that could vary from 30 to 60 seconds between levels, depending on the game. Although SNK's American home entertainment division quickly acknowledged that the system simply wasn't capable of competing with 3D-capable powerhouse systems of the day like Sega's Saturn and Sony's PlayStation, SNK corporate of Japan felt they could continue to maintain profitable sales in the Japanese home market by shortening the previous system's load-times.

Popular speculation suggests that SNK made several changes to the CD hardware to end up with the CDZ, most prominent is the rumor that they increased the CD-ROM drive speed from 1x to 2x. The truth of the matter is that the CDZ had a larger amount of cache. Though the CD-ROM motor in the CDZ may have been more efficient than the one in the original, it was still a 1x speed CD-ROM.

The Neo Geo Pocket was SNK's first hand held video game system, released in Japan in late 1998; however, lower than expected sales resulted in its discontinuation in 1999, and was immediately succeeded by the Neo Geo Pocket Color. The system only had a retail release within the Japan and Hong Kong market.

1400$ electricity yearly!!!!
"A few weeks ago, we started investigating the possibility of putting
Linux on an XBOX. We played with some ideas in our heads, a render
farm, a cheap office computer or a distributed crypto platform, just to
start. The idea required a little bit of elbow grease, a mod chip,
Linux and a bunch of free time. "

From XBOX-SCENE forums
" An anonymous person at the German
23C3 Hacker Congress showed what could be an
Xbox360 hack/exploit during one of the '
Lightning Talks'.
Lightning Talks is a daily event at Chaos Communication Congress
(C3/CCC). It consists in one hour of several short (limited to 5mins)
talks.
In a very short presentation a masked 'hacker' showed an
Xbox 360 booting up King Kong (the
game,
by ubisoft). After loading the game a screen pops up showing an Xbox
360 logo, a Mac logo and Tux (the Linux Penguin) and the words "coming
soon...". I also noticed a small PCB is hanging out of his Xbox360 and
he's using a
laptop (Apple Macbook pro?), but it's not really clear what he's doing with it.
Those who followed hacking discussions might remember hackers did some
research
around the vector shaders in the King Kong demo on the Xbox 360 Kiosk
Disc (that ran from recordable media). The demo (and final game too)
allow to modify the shaders (they are not checked/signed). However no
exploit to take control of the machine was found back then ... so
either this hacker found something here, or he's just showing us his
custom modified shaders ;)
That's all the details we got for now.
If you don't believe the presentation was really given at 23C3, you can download the +560MB WMV
video of the complete 'Lightning Talks' Day4 from the
CCC mirrors (direct:
mirror1,
mirror2,
mirror3,
mirror4,
mirror5,
mirror6,
mirror7).
Forward to the 5th presentation and you'll find it there. However note
that the video encoding is far from perfect and the audio seems to be
broken/missing. The youtube video below shows just the Xbox 360
presentation, with audio:
UPDATE1! Here are some updates from stuff people posted on
our forums.
Here's another footage of the presentation filmed by someone in the public.
Some high-res pictures of the presentation. A bit easier to see that small PCB here. Pictures by Darkman at

Also interesting is the official description of the presentation on the
CCC schedule site:
