Local news is saying 50% contained but it’s been a very windy day. Latest I read was Irma 2 x 2.5 miles. We are fine for now as it’s heading away from us but obviously very concerning.

This is right by us. They closed the highway near here because it goes along area on fire.

It works pretty well. I have small NFC stickers that I put on some of my box protectors that are linked to the games on MiSTer just because it's fun to use the box to launch the game that way :)

Some updates thanks to davewongillies who contributed a lot of time to make this easier to put on MiSTer using its downloader.

This aims to be a good enough dump to play, even if it’s not going to match every checksum on redump perfectly. 99% of the games I have do match for at least the 1st track, which is the game data track most of the time. I’ve tried 5 different CD drives at this point and they all more or less work.

Thanks! Yeah, from what I’ve read they’re dumping it too but it’s a little tricky to get good dumps without using something like redumper and one of the β€œapproved” drives- and then it has to get compiled for ARM to work on MisTer.

Works pretty well for both 4:3 and 16:9. They divide nicely into 720 and black bars are minimal

1:1 - it’s a 720x720 display

Besides YouTubers? πŸ˜‚ joking aside they’re okay for being relatively low cost. I have one because a friend of mine was raving about it and it just so happens to be landscape…

I think you just started it. For good measure post a picture of the original GBA and say it’s vastly superior to the backlit GBA SP, even with the original screen

I’ve just started labeling all my video game console power supplies because I know eventually I’ll stop remembering what they’re for…

Time for a fresh start.

Hi! I'm an NES homebrew game developer. I also make chiptunes in FamiTracker.

I'm currently working on a "Mario Paint" inspired paint program for the NES, which supports the SNES mouse and NES Zapper! cuttercross.itch.io/crosspaint

Hi Bluesky, meet my game.

Courier is a cyberpunk adventure game originally designed for the NES. Upgrade your gear by taking on jobs from seedy employers and hack your way through the world to get all the info you need to take on the evil Ankh Industries and save the city.

Eventually it’ll pick up. Every time they make a dumb decision, more people show up here

So is now the time? Is everyone just switching to Bluesky now because Twitter has finally gone too far?

Ever look at the stuff you buy for collecting and think β€œmaybe I have a problem”?

Deadeye here, I mostly talk about homebrew videogames and their development. I have a video and podcast series where I talk about homebrews with their developers, YouTube channel with long plays.

Yearly I'll help put out an NES Homebrew Calendar and run player competitions.

Okay, I’m here. Another twitter replacement. Maybe this is the one? It’s almost certainly not threads
