|  With such versatile technology, your gaming systems can do more than play games and your other devices can double as fantastic gaming platforms. Take a few hours this weekend and supercharge your gaming experience.
Fine-Tune Your Gaming Hardware  Your gaming rig may be relatively powerful, but that only goes so far if it isn't tuned for optimal performance. If you're new to tweaking your graphic settings, our guide can tech you the basics. If you want to take it a bit further, overclock your graphics card. The performance gains are often minimal, and it might not be worthwhile, but if you need to eke out a little extra performance you'll want to explore this option and see. Before you go crazy with tweaks, just make sure you separate the myths from the facts. Of course, sometimes it's just time to get a new graphics card. If you're not sure, we can help you figure it out.
Repurpose an Old Console or Get the Most Out of a New One  You can do a lot with old consoles, or even newer ones. Streaming media centers make for one of the most popular hacks, and our guide will show you how to handle the task on virtually any console. That's far from the only gaming hack, however. People love turning old NES systems and cartridges into newer hardware like DVD players, wireless routers, arcade game players, USB controllers, and more. We've posted a lot of fun and practical game DIY projects, so check out the full list for plenty of other ideas.
Upgrade Your Mobile's Gaming Experience  While you've likely played a few games on your phone or tablet, it can do a lot more than you might find in the app store. For starters, turning it into a retro gaming console is one of the most fun and exciting options, especially when you integrate classic controllers (such as the iCade 8-bitty). (By the way, you can do this with your computer, too.) Some mobile gaming systems can be hacked to do even more, too. Hacking the Nintendo DS for homebrew adds a lot of features, and you can supercharge it to do even more. If you're not satisfied with what's out there, you can always roll your own mobile gaming system as well. You have so many great options when it comes to mobile gaming.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your games!  |
