Great Introduction To Hardware Hacking

[Sionyn]

In this strangely fascinating talk, you can follow along as [Natalie Silvanovich] reverse engineers some tomogotchi. Even if you have no interest whatsoever in tomogotchi, you’ll probably pick up a trick or two by listening to how she went about taking over the toy. She can now push her own images to the screen, and evolve her tomogatchi at will.

most of us know this stuff but great for noobs

I was guessing it was an 8051... not surprised it's a 6502 though; one of those quirky 8-bit architectures that just refuse to die.

Last time I saw 6502 embedded was on Modem chipsets... And in the end I do understand. The 6502 is compact core that has been fully reverse-enginered years ago, not to mention it's available with official license. A bit like ARM nowdays, but just smaller/cheaper for the lower end need.
