This project goes a long way to show that there are plenty of serviceable electronics out there that have just been needlessly borked, and with a little elbow grease it’s sometimes possible to get them working. All that is needed is to modify a few config files on the Ouya to point to a different address and the Ouya boots up just like it’s 2012 again. These devices needed to see a specific server to gain full functionality, and has created essentially a spoofed server that allows users to sign in to their consoles and install games again. ![]() ![]() It had a low price point but eventually couldn’t sell enough units to stay in business. With little more processing power than a smart phone, the idea was to produce a console for the casual gamer that also could play retro games and other games available for Android. The Ouya was a commercial failure but an ambitious take on a new kind of gaming console. The latter is essentially what happened to the Ouya console, but if you still have one of these around you might be able to get it running again. Sometimes it’s even worse than that as some products are designed to “phone home” and will lack critical functionality if the original producer of that product gets purchased by someone else, wants to sell its customers more products, or goes out of business. Plenty of electronics end up in the junk drawer or even landfill after their useful life ends, but in the modern world of planned obsolescence a lot more devices are thrown out simply because of lack of support.
