Hack the IM-ME and extract the sprites

Joby used the Bus Pirate SPI sniffer to extra zombie graphics from an IM-ME.

Yesterday, Travis Goodspeed wrote a good post about bitmapped sprites on the IM-me.

As a teaser of his upcoming ZombieGotcha game, he released a binary for a demo and challenged people to extract the images and recreate the startup animation.

And I can’t resist a challenge…

The SPI Sniffer needs some updates. This summer we modded it for maximum speed, but that introduced some glitches in chip select detection. Look for an update soon.

Via Hack a Day.
