trying reversing the procedure and see if that helps..
Here's an interesting story about real world technology that has a minor connection to gaming. Developed for Richland, Washington-based CH2M Hill, the technology is called the Sand Mantis, and it is described by its creator as a new tool that takes rock salt-based waste, and turns it into a fine, powdery waste.
The technology, which is used inside giants tanks, is controlled using a PlayStation 2 controller. After the Rock Salt waste is smashed into a fine powder, it can easily be sucked out of the tank and disposed of. The technology helps CH2M Hill reach their goal of less than 2,700 gallons of waste per tank. It will also reduces cleanup costs; the $2.7 million dollar tool replaces the original $12 million per tank cost estimate. CH2M Hill is best known for creating engineering solutions for waste management and water treatment.
...5) The little spinny PS Logo: When Sony gave you the chance to set your box vertically, they let you spin the little color bling PS logo 90 degrees to set upright when you were in either position. A completely unneccessary thing, mind you. Seriously, would any of us thought twice if it wasn't there? Just a little thing that I really appreciated.
4) Interface: I felt that the PS2 was really one of the first systems to warrant an interface. Prior, they were mostly "plug a cartridge in and the game starts." The PS1 was the first I remember to have something that screamed "YOU ARE PLAYING THIS SYSTEM" in the blaring gold SONY logo followed by the soft sound of the PS logo that still echos in my mind, but the soft waves and calm select sounds of the PS2 showed that they were willing to put effort into something so simple.
3) Backwards Compatibility: It seems to be a staple these days, but even then the 360 has limited compatibility, the PS3 took a good chunk of it out, and the newest Wiis neglect to point out that they lost GameCube compatibility. PSOne service was a simple given through the PS2 life cycle, and nobody ever countered that. Sony took the time to make an option that would potentially speed up loading times and smooth graphics for PS1 games. Even the PS1 controllers and memory cards worked! Also, later games allowed use of PS1 controllers if they didn't need the bells and whistles of an official PS2 control. This also let me play 2 players in Time Crisis II with my PS1 guns and cruise Ridge Racer V with my NegCon, which I still wish I could plug into the Xbox. Sony really did it right with their PS2/1 backwards compatibility, something never seen before and sadly not seen as well done since.

Alright, this is just amazing. The guy turned his Dual Shock controller into an analog synth. You have to see it to believe it.
