These cards are made with a new material called stone paper. Iโ€™m really pleased how itโ€™s turned out! Theyโ€™re totally plastic free but just as durable and waterproof as the common PVC cards. Going forward Iโ€™ll be doing runs of these along with the cardboard cards

The Multisystem 2 Kit USB cable has also been replaced with a new shorter flat cable which will be easier to fit inside. I'm also considering doing a batch of I2C red NFC modules for the MMS2, but I need to see if I have time to pre-solder them.

Still waiting on a big batch of NFC modules to arrive. Fingers crossed early this week. Once those are in I can do readers and a small batch of cards. Looking at next month to get some brand new pre-printed standard cards with a new design and a really cool new material!

Once this is more stable it should be easily portable to support Kodi in Batocera or whatever other OS ships it.

A hand holding a stack of white NFC cards, fanned like a deck of playing cards, with the names of video games on them: Donkey Kong, Ms Pac-Man and Do Donpachi are visible. Behind the cards, some graphic designs on a computer monitor for labels: Galaga, Pooyan, Contra, 1942, Do Donpachi and Mappy are visible.

I've queued up a metric assload of #zaparoo NFC cards, and designed all the stickers that I'm printing this afternoon. I'm pretty proud of the "credit" and "space bar" card designs, I'll show them once I've got them all put together. This is gonna be so fun!

These #Holo3DFX finished NFC cards for GameCube came out absolutely superb! The colors pop just perfect! #TapTo #Zaparoo supported for #MiSTerPi TakiUdonโ€™s #MiSTerPi and the #MultiSystem2 #NintendoGameCube

Wow, I thought the GameCube NFC cards popped but these #Holo3DFX #NintendoDS ones are seriously shiny! Itโ€™s not a mirror finish, that's just the lighting. Thereโ€™s a printed texture along w/ the embossing that pops. The colors on the box๐Ÿ‘Œ #Zaparoo #TapTo #MiSTerFPGA #MiSTerPi #MultiSystem2 #Nintendo
