To celebrate the 1 week milestone of our donation campaign, today we share videos of tests we did on the Gameboy and Super Nintendo, showing that much of what we did on the NES can be reused on other consoles.

[5/5]

Although we have no interest in commercializing the adapter, I am sure that if there is interest, the community itself will organize itself to manufacture and sell it, as happens with projects such as gbInterceptor and Opensource Cart Reader.

[4/5]

And when we're done, you'll be able to use the adapter on any NES like you would use a Game Genie, without having to open the console. That's our goal!

[3/5]

Any donation is an incentive for us to continue and will help us with hardware expenses.

It is a message that shows that our commitment to sharing everything with the community, free of charge, has been understood.

[Campaign update - 1 week milestone]

Hello! It's been over a week since we shared the project! The reception was very good, we even appeared on Hackaday wee.
