Extra Crunch expands into Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Austria

We’re excited to announce that Extra Crunch is now available to readers in Austria, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. That adds to our existing European support in Germany, France, Spain and the U.K.

Extra Crunch is a membership program from TechCrunch that features how-tos and interviews on company building, intelligence on the most disruptive opportunities for startups, discounts on TechCrunch events, an experience on TechCrunch.com that’s free of banner ads and more. We recently launched two new community perks for annual and two-year Extra Crunch members, including opportunities to claim $1,000 in AWS credits and 100,000 Brex Rewards points.

If you are thinking about coming to Disrupt Berlin with us in December, you can save by joining Extra Crunch. Annual and two-year Extra Crunch members can save 20% on all TechCrunch events, including Disrupt Berlin.

You can sign up or learn more about Extra Crunch here.

As a token of appreciation to our European readers, we’re running a special discount on annual and two-year Extra Crunch membership plans. The promotion starts today and runs until November 30. Here’s how you can claim the discounts:

  • Head to our signup page
  • Select an annual or two-year membership plan
  • During the signup process enter the promo code ECEUROPE1130 and hit “Apply”
  • Complete the remaining steps in the signup process

Please note that this code can only be used for readers signing up for Extra Crunch in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and UK. The discount can only be applied to annual and two-year subscriptions.

Thanks to everyone that voted on where to expand next. If you haven’t voted and you want to see Extra Crunch in your local country, let us know here. We’re hoping to have support for Romania ready within a few weeks, and possibly a few more European countries later this year. In 2020 we’re looking to expand beyond Europe and North America.

How To Play Doom – And More – On An NES

Doom was a breakthrough game for its time, and became so popular that now it’s essentially the “Banana For Scale” of hardware hacking. Doom has been ported to countless devices, most of which have enough processing ability to run the game natively. Recently, this lineup of Doom-compatible devices expanded to include the NES even though the system definitely doesn’t have enough capability to run it without special help. And if you want your own Doom NES cartridge, this video will show you how to build it . We featured the original build from [TheRasteri] a while back which goes into details about how it’s possible to run such a resource-intensive game on a comparatively weak system. You just have to enter the cheat code “RASPI”. After all the heavy lifting is done, it’s time to put it into a realistic-looking cartridge. To get everything to fit in the donor cartridge, first the ICs in the cartridge were removed (except the lockout IC) and replaced with custom ROM chips. Some modifica...

The Flexible Permanence of Copper Tape Circuits

Somewhere between shoving components into a breadboard temporarily and committing them to a piece of protoboard or a PCB lies the copper tape method. This flexible Manhattan-style method of circuitry formed the basis for [Bunnie Huang]’s Chibitronics startup, and has since inspired many to stop etching boards and start fetching hoards of copper tape. [Hales] hit the ground running when he learned about this method , and has made many a copper tape circuit in the last year or so. He offers several nice tips on his site that speak from experience with this method, and he’ll even show you how to easily work an SMD breakout board into the mix. Generally speaking, [Hales] prefers plywood as the substrate to paper or cardboard for durability. He starts by drawing out the circuit and planning where all the tape traces will go and how wide they need to be. Then he lays out copper traces and pads, rubs the tape against the substrate to make it adhere strongly, and reinforces joints and laps w...

The Newbie’s Guide To JTAG

Do you even snarf? If not, it might be because you haven’t mastered the basics of JTAG and learned how to dump, or snarf, the firmware of an embedded device. This JTAG primer will get you up to snuff on snarfing, and help you build your reverse engineering skills. Whatever your motivation for diving into reverse engineering devices with microcontrollers, JTAG skills are a must, and [Sergio Prado]’s guide will get you going. He starts with a description and brief history of the Joint Test Action Group interface, from its humble beginnings as a PCB testing standard to the de facto standard for testing, debugging, and flashing firmware onto devices. He covers how to locate the JTAG pads – even when they’ve been purposely obfuscated – including the use of brute-force tools like the JTAGulator . Once you’ve got a connection, his tutorial helps you find the firmware in flash memory and snarf it up to a file for inspection, modification, or whatever else you have planned. We always apprec...
