Title: Running GTA: Vice City on a PowerPC based wireless router
Post by: mparnaudeau on August 15, 2024, 12:37:25 pm

Hello PowerPC lovers

For people who missed that, earlier this year, I got informed of an article titled "Running GTA: Vice City on a TP-Link TL-WDR4900 wireless router" where the author describes how he hacked a wireless router ... The article is well written and very instructive, describing what was done, and how, step by step. This is another proof that shows that even small PowerPC based machines can achieve really great and surprising things! Let's applause the author who has huge hardware and software skills.

Oh yeah! I'd heard about this a while ago, but that blog is a treat - he revisited it in March and overclocked it for better performance! Thank you for sharing!

I just opened up an old Cisco Wifi AP I had stashed away. It has an AMCC PPC405EP processor.
