Summary

  • 3DSage, an aficionado of building replications of hardware from pop culture, has created a functioning replica of the Codec from Metal Gear Solid

  • The device, which has been modelled to look like an advanced walkie-talkie, relies on an RP2040 microcontroller, an MPU6050 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, an LCD screen, a kids walkie-talkie kit and a rechargeable lithium-ion 9V battery

  • It boasts voice communication and a simple imagery display, as well as a screen simulating noise, all of which recreate the functionality of the in-game device.

  • Its innovative design and graphics recreate the military look and feel of the game.

  • The only thing missing is the pressure meter that would denote whether the voice communication is secure.
