V1605

New update to my #ESP32 #Retrotink4k project. It is now compatible to use with the RT4K Profiler (aka Retro-Bridge). github.com/v1605/retrot...

New update for my #esp32 serial #retrotink4k bridge . Better osd support and some mDns enhancements in this release. Unless I notice more issues, this will probably remain stable until the Retro-Bridge specification is published. github.com/v1605/retrot...

New update to my #Retrotink 4k esp32 project. Web performance for the OSD is significantly better. Little demo here showing off the navigation. github.com/v1605/retrot...

Until Mike Flanagan proves me otherwise, "The Haunting of Hillhouse" will only be second to "Midnight Mass" when it comes to horror miniseries.

Just in case the war crimes weren't enough to avoid this thing... retrododo.com/logan-paul-j...

I think this is the only time I've been kind of disappointed with a new #GBC build. I wanted to see how these Half Reflection Half Transmission LCD kits are. In bright light, they look almost oem. Low light using the backlight , the screen reflections creates a distracting holographic effect.

Just published my implementation of a #Retrotink4k Serial Bridge using a Esp32-S3-DevkitC. All the basic functionality is implemented via rest, so very easy to integrate into various setups. Fully open source github.com/v1605/retrot...

Very fun game #Halo Combat Devolved. I really hope the developer get more time to work on it.

Conspiracy Theory: AI generated code tends to be sloppy because poorly written code requires more tokens to fix and add features.

Working on a project for the #Retrotink4k using a #Esp32. New serial updates in the new firmware are pretty cool.

Cut down some trees and remove large fallen branches today. This poor guy looked so confused after.

Fresh batteries and cleaning the zebra strips was all that this #Pokedex needed. So happy to own one again.

At work today I had to ask the team of vibe coders "What value is this project providing?" Crickets...

Got my AGBM-11 designed by @mousebitelabs.bsky.social all built up. Now time to enjoy some #Zelda #GBA

First sign of life out of this #GBA cpu

It was a tight fit but replaced the crystal with a new one and it seems to be working. I found some with the correct frequency so I was curious if it would work. Audio sounds correct and was able to trade pokemon.

So this crystal test kit arrived missing two capacitors and its 20mhz crystal is a mislabeled 18mhz. I love aliexpress sometimes.

I'm starting to see more AI at work and the results are terrifyingly bad. I've been to Italy multiple times and I've never seen this much spaghetti

Time to test out the new #GBA build.

This one hurts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

After seeing the latest #Zaparoo update, I had to make a dedicated **launch.last #FloppyDisk

Zaparoo Core v2.11.0 is out: Launch Guard, PixelCade support, RePlayOS support, faster media library reindexing, MiSTer custom core support, DualRAM launchers, and "**launch.last" for recently played games. Release notes: zaparoo.org/blog/core-v2... #Zaparoo

I'm looking at playing Chrono Trigger for the first time. Out of the three options, which do you think I should play on (portable options are nice so I can play more consistently, but the OLED TV does make the games pop): 1. Snes: Mister: through #Retrotink 4k 2. Snes: #Analogue Pocket Core 3. #DS

Playing some #GBA Pokemon Pinball on the porch. Life is pretty good.

Is PlatformIO a good solution for developing ESP32/Arduino? I am looking for an easier way to compile for more boards and configurations without all the overhead in Arduino Studio.

A longer version of my Cartridge Slot Extender for the #Analogue #Pocket. I need to make an updated shell but it's scanning those @retrodotcards.com cards just fine. Gerbers are available on my github.

Why did no one tell me I could put a hot poker in beer?

I'm really excited to try out the update to #Analogue 3D. Forced Progressive seems really cool (though I'd still like to see proper deinterlacing options). www.analogue.co/support/3d/f...

Well the first game I wanted to do a full playthrough on the #Analogue3D has graphical issues. Guess Tarzan was doing some advanced features

Are you a #HomeAssistant and #Zaparoo user? I would love to get some feedback on a integration (services that would be useful, sensors that should be exposed, etc...) github.com/ZaparooProje... Currently you need to add it as a custom repo, but soon we should have it available in default via hacs.

Latest #Gameboy build. New shell #Pikachu shell, IPS display, button LEDs, and USB C charging.

I think I won the in-law lottery.

I know what I'm buying as a late Christmas present krikzz.com/our-products...

Nice and warm now

BURN THE BIRD!!!

For anyone that hasn't tried the #N64 Turbo Core on the #MisterFPGA yet, I made a small script to update to the latest version automatically. It will then call update_all afterwards (can be disabled in the config). gist.github.com/v1605/3aad3a...

This one hits right in the nostalgia. My first GBA was a white model I got on Christmas 2001. The only issue with this system was a dirty power switch but I did a recap for good measure. The screen is a Funnyplaying m2 and I added @nataliethenerd.com and @mousebitelabs.bsky.social's Bucket Amp.

This #GBA SP is now charging and ready to go. EM8 needed a reflow, the charge led needed a replacement (now it's a nice blue), and it needed a bodge to reconnect F2 to D1. Going to have to play through some #KingdomHearts to put it through its paces.

Had to repair some ripped pads and rusted volume slider but the #GBA sp should be back in working order now. Big thanks to @nataliethenerd.com for all the board scans. Would have taken a lot longer to find that broken trace without them.

It's been a bit more chaotic than expected but I think I'm fully migrated to #Unifi UDM SE. I saw a deal to pick one up for open box for $350.

Heading out to the porch to enjoy some #Gameboy fun. What system and game should I go with?

Just got in a holder for all my #Zaparoo #MisterFPGA floppy disks. Thinking about the next batch of labels.
