Our update video is out.

All the latest news, developments and #Multisystem2 pre order shipments.

It’s welding time in the Pump House today as work continues on our workshop build.

Totally fantastic new NFC cards from Zaparoo using stone paper ! For the #Multisystem2 😎

Oh hey! Wizzo snuck these out. It was fun coming up with a design that felt like a “cart” with the Multisystem 2. Big thanks to @richrap3d.bsky.social and the folks at Heber!

Awesome ! 👍

This was a really fantastic interview & discussion Bob. Wonderful work and a lifetime of experience and innovation.

I now also desperately want to make a RumbleMouse 😁

This is a really fantastic interview and a perfect example of how desire to make things happen drives people to innovate a way to achieve it. Please do listen when you have time.

Dan is going to have custom sets of #Multisystem2 enclosures for sale on @retrofied.uk

We had some fun today working out colour combinations to keep him super busy 😁

Thrashed Mike Daily at R-TYPE in Hard mode.

Well… actually…

I had one last go before the end 😎

Rematch next time 👍

Stuart Poole is presenting his career of games development and production of titles over the last 30+ years. @retrocollective.co.uk
Fascinating behind the scenes story of how the games industry has evolved from 8bit to PS5 & VR.

Practicing since 1st July 1987 ! 😎

That’s perfect gaming weather 🌦️

Also, I accept your R-Type challenge !

Bring it on 👍

Fantastic work and congratulations on a successful launch 🚀

Over 3k backers and £1M so far 👍

👍 we will do our best to make that happen.

We will experiment and report with various cart interfaces and hardware peripheral’s. I hope the community can design some adaptors too, we will encourage and help everyone who is interested.

It’s running as a real live cartridge, reading data in real-time. No tricks, this is a genuine hardware interface. It should be able to handle multi carts. We are going to try the Gameboy camera at some point soon.

It’s a proof of concept prototype, we are working on a demo to show off the cartridge interface, more to show soon.

We will release the info and ask the community if they want cartridge adaptors made.

Testing various carts, interfaces and functions. What are you playing first?

Sorry to hear that Mark. If you have room maybe crane lift in a ‘temporary structure’ - like a shipping container? Or two…

For everyone asking - use a soldering iron to fix the crack. Heated metal staples can reinforce the material.

Try to use as much of the original material as possible.

Add PCABS or glass filled nylon if needed.

3D scanning / printing is a bad idea for this part.

We only use cardboard spools on our 3D print farm, never single use plastic. All these 92 empty spools were from last month's production. Polymaker also plant a tree for every spool used.

Alright! Officially back in stock on Zap Pads and Multisystem 2 kits. Like I mentioned earlier, limited amount of cards available, but I'll be getting more in next month. Thanks for the support everyone! #Zaparoo

Special edition N64 Slice tray 😎

Files will be available soon.

Modified the #Multisystem N64 cartridge to be a little more inspired by the console. Using #3DPrinting for production allows for total manufacturing flexibility 👍
Changed from chunky square to a rounded shape similar to the N64 cartridges. What do you think?

We are adding more @prusa3d.com Core ONE #3DPrinters into our Print farm.
So easy to get them running straight out of the box 👍

These new Core ONE machines are keeping up with #Multisystem2 production printing.
