Finishing things up for #PicoIDE and it just about saturates the IDE bus in MWDMA mode 2. Iโ€™m pretty happy with this! It tests as fast as a 74x CD-rom drive which means thereโ€™s a bit more headroom in that mode but that could be the CPU on this K6-2 system being a bottleneck.

OpenTendo-Twin, an open source recreation of the Sharp Twin Famicom (A Famicom with a Famicom Disk System built in) is in the final stages before release.

The highlighted nets are all that are left, testing and then release should happen quite soon.

I have been able to keep the original Lego power switch mechanism by changing only a few tiny things. I'm super happy with v0.4.2 of the housing. It might be PCB order time

Added the USB C PCB edge connector to the DSPico cart to replace the micro USB port. I'll see how it goes and then fork it.

I don't think you'll notice a latency difference between the 8BitDo mod kit w/ the Retro Receiver and the NSO Gamecube controller with a BlueRetro adapter, they both have around 1 frame of latency

I'm not 100% sure when the video will be out, but I managed to collect some latency data for the NSO Gamecube controller.

I need to start collecting more samples. Up until now, I was collecting around 2000 samples, but with this controller I captured 5000.

Thank you so much for an amazing project!

You enabled so many retro consoles to have high quality wireless controllers that look like the originals, and for that, you will always be a legend.

After 6 years working on BlueRetro, the time has come for me to move on and focus on my family and my real job.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, tested, reported issues, or supported the project over the years.
Your involvement made BlueRetro what it is today.

And they tried to tell me it shouldnโ€™t be done! But behold! The #Cuboid!
Itโ€™s rocking both the GCLoader and the Dual. And also, itโ€™s shorter!
SD card smartly tucks in the back above the optional handle.
