Control Katamari Damacy With A Ball
Tuesday 26 May 2009 @ 6:45 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 4 CommentsIt is only every so often that a game hack comes around that is so brilliant, so glaringly obvious that it boggles the mind why it was never official. Such is the case of this Katamary Damacy trackball mod by Kelly Farrell of the Hacker Collective NYC Resistor. With a little ingenious hardware hacking Kelly managed to control The Prince and his Katamari with a big metal ball placed above some ball bearings.
Why was a custom controller for the game never released is beyond my comprehension. In any case we get an awesome retro hardware mod by a very tallented hacker girl, what else can we ask for?

That is cool! I which these guys would release their specs. I’d love to add this to the many peripherals I currently own.
The diagrams are on Kelly’s site linked at the bottom.
Its a good thing that the the ball controller doesn’t grow with the Katamari.
