Thread: How to hack a Billy Bass

Tweet

I have recently come into ownership of one Billy Bass, singing fish. I'd like to use him in haunt this year, but I don't want him singing "Don't Worry, be Happy" - I'd like him to go with my 3-axis pirates and maybe say some of the parts with them. I know that there used to be a web site with this info, but it's gone now.

Does anyone have any pointers to a web site that's up, or a tutorial on how to do this? It doesn't have to be too precise, but I think it would be cool.

Just google "hack billy bass" and you'll find lots of info. I did that last year, but I never tried the hack. Just read about it. There were at least two very good sites as I recall.

Talk to Halstaff...I'm sure he can steer you in the right direction. Here's the Billy Bones fish he animated...

Thanks diajoh - I was looking around and couldn't find one anymore. The one that used to be up last year on the MIT website is down now. A lot of sites link to that hack as "the" one to look at, but I can't find it anywhere. All the links are dead. I want Billy Bass to be able to sing along with my skulls this year

Sweet! Thanks bobzilla, I'll check out the link! And send a message to Halstaff

If you still have or know the link, maybe you can find it on the Internet Archive. It's a great resource for dead links.

Here it is the link to the MIT hack, courtesy of the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive)

Good luck

Thank you diajoh! That's awesome - I knew about the wayback machine, but had completely forgotten about it. Thank you!!!

Just checking if there was any update to this project. I would like to hook up my singing fish to an mp3 player. Any ideas?
