Allison has made a Game Boy cart based around the RP2040. The RP2040 acts as a MBC!
The documentation is freaking fantastic and Allison has released the files under the CC BY-NC-SA license

This is straight fire

you have to fill it completely with transparent resin once you are done or else

If we can lobby GitHub to allow the KiCanvas embed on READMEs that would be my dream.

KiCanvas is such a dope project (kicanvas.org), shout out to @thea.codes.

OpenOCD such a great tool but the development really is a hot mess. It is relied upon by so many projects, but still hosted on SOURCEFORGE. Every vendor is maintaining their own fork and nothing seems to get upstreamed. I don't know who the core maintainers are, but something has to change.

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨

Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

The Nintendo Kawaii, a collaboration project between myself, @mks.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social has finally been released fully open source!

If you're brave enough to build one you'll have one of the most unique pieces of gaming jewellery ever.

Great choice of test game! I’m so glad I made the JST connector work for both the flashing and the GameCube connector, it looks like it makes flashing multiple boards much simpler.

YouTube video by Tito Perez Someone FINALLY Made A WaveBird Replacement Receiver!

Video on the new WaveBird replacement receiver just went LIVE on my Second Channel! Thanks to this project many WaveBirds will fly once again!

VIDEO HERE 👉 youtu.be/XrUXnhONNe0

This is an open source project from @loopj.com and being made by @collingall.bsky.social

Thanks for the coverage Tito!!

What a great hack, love it

This is awesome. Are you parsing the SI data and then using tinyusb or similar to send USB-HID reports?

Very cool! I’m working on a little addon board for usb support too!

Which spot welder did you end up getting, I’m in the market for one

Thanks! I just checked the datasheet for that module and the CTUNE value is also identical to the rf-bm-bg22c3, which is great news. I think I have a couple of these modules, I'm going to try a range comparison.

Also, would you be willing to share your modified pcb and case? I’m sure others would love that!

WavePhoenix Receiver with raw PCBs behind it.

Finally put together my first completed WavePhoenix, a replacement receiver for the GameCube Wavebird controller. I modified @loopj.com's original pcb design to use an alternate package, as the recommended one was completely out of stock. Works perfectly!

LOVE the color scheme. What module did you use? I might have to check the CTUNE settings for that module to make sure it has good wireless performance.

1/6 I finally decided to stop procrastinating and get on with assembling some @loopj.com WavePhoenix receivers. This thread will show you my journey.
I started by tinning the pads on 6 PCBs and the 6 EFR32 MCUs I had. 🧵👇

Go get yourself an assembled WavePhoenix on Monday!

When I reached out to RF Star they said they would sell the modules directly in MOQ of 100 modules and pre-flash them with firmware. I initially considered doing a small run myself and having the modules consigned to JLCPCB.

Thanks Greg! Very excited to see these in production, impressed with the fast turnaround!

Any chance you could credit me on your product page please?

They work with all WaveBirds. There was only ever one revision of both the controllers and the receivers.

How the fuck are you so productive, you are making the rest of us look bad Natalie

Xenii over on BitBuilt has created an incredible open-source Wii handheld called the Xii-Boy Ultra. It is a fully functional Wii console in a Gameboy-style shell that is just 27mm thick! Check it out here bitbuilt.net/forums/index... or build your own github.com/Xenii1642/Xi...!
