Last night I experimented with CDROM emulation on PicoGUS using iso or bin/cue on a USB stick, using code from yyzkevin. I first thought RP2040โ€™s USB would be too slow but after seeing the Pico ODE for 3DO that emulates the same MKE interface, I have newfound confidence that it will be fast enough.

All of my IBO Urdr Hunt sub videos were copyright struck at the same time, immediately terminating my entire YouTube channel

Despite the fact that there was no english release of the game and the game does not exist anymore

I'm sorry

The Japan Airlines variant of the RX-78-2 Gundam is on sale from today until August. Via in-flight sales, and possibly other JAL-related avenues. I like how itโ€™s based on the Dubai Expo kit, with the more elaborate detailing around the knees & lower arms.

The only thing I defended was the 3.3v rated parts would not harm the gba, and that recycled parts are fine to use.

I never defended the 60$ price. Don't put words in my mouth.

She blocked me even though my reply came before her update.

Correcting a false claim of a game being unsafe isn't a shill or damage control.

Lots of people bought these carts and your lie would prevent them from playing the game.

Check your ego.

Shantae is fun.

The post says the game is unsafe to play with isn't true at all.

These chips have life spans we couldn't possibly hope to hit. They aren't being constantly rewritten.
The fram chip has a 150 year life span.

What's wrong with recycled chips.

The chip on the left is flash memory which holds the game, the chip on the right is the save data chip. the fpga replicates commuication mapping with the gba.

All required components

Whats the problem here exactly? All these parts run within expected voltages for carts on the gba and wont damange the console. Recycled chips dont mean problematic or bad chips either.

Those are the ones with an empty db9 connector too right? I really wonder what the plan was.

Last year I picked up a Yamaha Copera for hardware research purposes. The Copera is a rare variant of the Sega Pico that adds additional sound hardware: a Yamaha YMF262 OPL3 FM chip, YMZ263B ADPCM and a pair of YM7128B digital delay chips. #sega #segapico #yamahacopera

Hereโ€™s the repaired Famicom Titler, I shared this with redherring already but I might as well share it with everyone! Iโ€™ll photograph the second Titler soon

My original TASBod now lives at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. I hope to play Super Mario World Warps TAS by @brunovisnadi.bsky.social continuously.
Many people deserve credit. One of those people is @micro500.bsky.social . Thank you. Sincerely. I would not be here without you.

One project I want to get back to now that I'm feeling a bit better is reverse engineering the Sega Mega Play arcade PCB.

Hi, Iโ€™m Matt, a retro dev making games for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive like Chordsโ€”a cyberpunk text adventure inspired by Snatcher!

I also dive into SGDK coding, Sega hardware, and homebrew.

I'm a sucker for projects deemed not worth it. Put this controller back together even though I really shouldn't have.
Was a fun bit pass the time project.

But now I can get to adding a cart slot to this thing.

Been tinkering on this NASA 16 bit clone Sega console. Added RGB. Wasn't expecting it to look this good! Especially as a mega drive clone.
