Awesome Gaming Accessories

I just realized, after reading this forum for... well, awhile, that I haven't seen any threads based on awesome 'accessories'.
So does anyone have that certain brand, that certain 'item' that makes their gaming setup look rockin', or something they just like to show off?

And, since we're on memory and addons, who can forget the VMU?
It's too bad it's a collectable and I have no intention of taking it out of the case, because it's a really good quality controller.
...No, I don't have it, but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.
I always wondered- how did the Gameshark, Game Genie et al even work? Did they basically hack the game for you? What did they, you know, do? (never owned one)
Hex editing. Part of the code you entered into the gameshark/genie would be what part of the game's code you want to edit, and another part would be what you want to change the value to.
This is an oversimplification, but roughly how it works.
Also as most of you will see in just a few months the Classic Controller Pro is the greatest add on pad ever. So damn comfortable. I wouldn't rail so hard against the DS3's archaic structure if it was as comfortable as this thing.
They accessed the RAM, or intercepted commands from the game, and replaced them with a value or command that would do something that you would want to happen, such as spawn a BFG9000, or make it so that your health won't drop below a number. If you randomly put values into the cheat devices, you can cause all kinds of unwanted effects, such as keeping your character from rendering, or just causing the game to fall apart.
These grew out of a command on the old 8-bit computers called POKE, which let you change values in the system's RAM, to adjust your status in the game. The Action Replay even started as a cart for the C64 that automatically POKE'd some values in RAM for you
Too bad the game it came packaged with was pretty bad
Also: Anyone owned a PocketStation? Wanted to do that FFVIII chocobo thing SO BAD
edit: I think it was import-only.
Beg to differ. Hori still makes as good, if not better ones. They are just hard to find outside of Japan. Madcatz is now up there, and I love my TE's, but the HRAP3 SA, and the HRAP IV, are good, to say nothing of the viewlix special version they have.
Madcatz did one thing Horid did not, make it global.
Underscores before each of the sections? Really?
Alternatively- I already know how to touch 'for the win'

I bought it for Descent II, and it was just about the coolest thing ever. Hard to learn how to use, but once you trained your hands it was super natural.
Don't know why I keep it.. nostalgia I guess. Doesn't work under any modern OS, connects to a serial port which means you can't even plug it in to a lot of modern motherboards. You can get usb->serial adapters, but still doesn't solve the driver problem.
Powerglove 2.0?
More or less.
I love how it's basically "Touch pads with your finger! This is totally naturally and not completely unituitive! No really!"
It did not. However, if anyone is interested in the FF8 chocobo pocketstation minigame, it is available freely and officially on the internet (PC version, sans capability to interact back to the main game).
lol. It does sound kind of odd, but as a person who has a hard time keeping there hands on a keyboard for long times, its a god send.
Wow that thing is really cool, nay... its "sooo bad". 8-)
I don't really believe them when they say your hand wont sweat when you wear it though. Man, that thing is going to stink after some intense gaming sessions.
Give us goddamn Virtual Reality !
I've always wanted a FPS where you actually run on these treadmill like things, gaming and getting into shape !
I played with one of these at PAX '05:
You wear the same basic goggle setup inside the giant hamster ball, and it tracks when you turn and when you walk.
Most disorienting piece of crap I'd ever experienced, but I'd still pay to do it once in awhile if it was at the local arcade.
Minus the D-Pad, best controller on the market.
How long is "awhile" for you? This is a year old thread that was revived a week ago.
SUPER SCOPE BITCHES!

My friend bought one of those at PAX last year. He doesn't even own an SNES anymore. He said he bought it just to own one. He got an amazing number of comments and compliments carrying it around all weekend.
The best.
Although he may not have an SNES right now, I hope he got the receiver to go with the gun, otherwise it's useless aside from those PAX-like moments.

And then it broke. And then it broke in a manner I couldn't jury-rig fix. And I was heart-broken.
So, I moved onto HOTAS. But I still wanted force feedback. So I got a Logitech G940.
The setup feels tough, durable, and stable. It's expensive, but it's the only force feedback HOTAS, and it's excellent in its own regard. I for one really enjoy the feel of the stick in particular (I would have bought it by itself).
I think I couldn't go back to foot pedals. That might make me a bad person, but now, it's like giving up TrackIR.
Razer's version of the Xbox 360 controller, with a vastly improved D-Pad.
I want one.
Edit: Better picture put up
Razer Onza Professional Gaming Controller for Xbox 360 Features:
* Razer Hyperesponse™ technology
* Adjustable Tension Analog Sticks
* Programmable Multi-function Button
* Wired Control for Virtually Lag Free Gameplay
Wanna play 360? 1 button, BAM, TV input is on, changes to HDMI 2, receiver is set up, and 360 powers on. Same for PS3 (stupid adapter necessary).
Only downside I've found to the Harmony so far is the 'Off' button. My kid occassionally gets her hands on the remote, and if the last thing I did was my Xbox 360 setup, the 'Off' button kind of... turns off everything it had turned on.
Lamesauce.
If that is wireless, where the fuck can I get one
It really doesn't look much different seeing how it is blocky and pixelated anyways but it makes me feel better! :P
