nope, can't be sued unless he makes one for profit. Neat little loop hole there. And dang that thing is cool. I should make one.

Yeah i have seen this before.

He can sell them but he has to have proof that he is not making ANY money off of it at all. The amount he charges has to be the cost it was to make. I think.

500$ for him to justify making one. As I understand it, it costs him 237$ to order a case (473$ for 2, you do the math) and for course the money for the controller, wiring, and the PSone. He also said he has to charge 500$ to justify the amzing amount of time spent doign it, although he said admittedly "another one would be simpler now that all the calculations are out of the way." *teh shrug* Its still cool, despite goign through 12 AA batteries in 1.5 hours.
