Whoo-hoo! Not only did I find a second copy of the super-rare A Shop Called Quest variant for Card Wars #1, but it was signed by @jessiewong.bsky.social herself! That means I have two of the seven variants signed. And that's cool to me. 🤣

Hey @madmanfilms.bsky.social and anyone in Australia, can you confirm if this DVD actually exists from the R4 region? Please rt if you're in Australia, know someone in Australia, or know where Australia is. :)

Tonight @fexcollects.standingintheodds.com and I explored the ereader some more. Along with using @timschuerewegen.bsky.social's doc, we were able to add and verify - SetSoundTempo - SquareRoot - SetSpritePosAnimatedSpeedBlocking - IsSpriteVisible - FlashScreen ereader.miraheze.org/wiki/ERAPI-Z80

The cards for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex are coming along nicely! Here's the back of the first card, hot off the press! #homebrew #retrodev #ereader

And it's officially on! I should have the cards in about 1-2 weeks. I'm not out of the woods yet as there's still a (slim) possibility the print run will be a bust 🤞

More fun with proofs. I have to hand cut these out but they scan beautifully. Pretty sure I'll be giving the printer the green light in about an hour

I've started a beast of a blog post on e-reader card types. I am going to tackle it in chunks. For starters: z80, native, nes and SMA4 e-reader cards www.mattgreer.dev/blog/ereader...

I made a tweak to Smaghetti, my Super Mario Advance 4 level editor. It is now much easier to convert Smaghetti levels into e-reader cards. With a level loaded in the editor, click the beaker in the lower right. In the modal that pops up, click "Download level as .bin".

I just watched the new 28 Years Later movie and... holy fuck, it's good. Like, not a good sequel to 28 Days Later, but, in a whole different category. I really liked it. Even the comedic dance sequence towards the end of the movie.

Good to see series one is still surprising people :)

16-Player Faceball 2000 is on for Midwest Gaming Classing in Milwaukee again this year! Hope to see you there? #MGC2026

I'm dreaming of a top down racer for the e-reader. Scan in a track card to race it, and scan in upgrade cards to improve your ride 😍

If you were somehow a giant with invincible hands with a helicopter flying towards you and you grabbed the spinning blades by the center, would the body of the helicopter just spin around all wacky, or does that only happen in cartoons?

A very early version of Dizzy Sheep Disaster is featured in this! That version is nearly unrecognizable compared to the full e-reader game now. (Which is coming along slow and steady!) If you ever wanted to build an emulator give this a try! #gamedev #homebrew #nesdev

An annoying side-effect of the Twitter/X mess is how so many people stopped using it, but didn't leave a forwarding address. I'll find a post from years ago that's related to whatever random thing I'm researching, then click on the user's profile and they haven't posted in years.

I'm currently in talks with the printer to get these bad boys made. I even squeezed in a little Easter egg for my Series One homies. #gamedev #indiedev #videogamesonpaper

Pixel Pup is done! Just one last pass to make sure all the t's are dotted and the i's are crossed, then it will head to the printer. Unless something cataclysmic happens, the March release date seems all but certain.

Hey folks! I’ll be at magfest all weekend, if you see me, say hi! I’ll have a playable copy of Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX. I’ll also be giving away tiny potatoes that believe in you!

The journey begins! You might think of this alternate history a bit like an inverted castle to @jparish.bsky.social's Metroidvania Works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9zE...

hi this is now :) www.twitch.tv/fexcollects/

ps: Progress is slow but ongoing for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex too. It's still coming!

@arcadeposting.bsky.social Saw this really high nice 2003 digital camera and thought of you. 🤣

Do you think this is labeled both ways so if the plane crashes upside down, we will know where to charge our phones?

This Kickstarter is one given been looking forward to for awhile! Dave Sim has done some art for it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/123...

Happy 24th birthday to the Nintendo e-Reader! Released on December 1st, 2001 in Japan! Be sure to follow the list of cool people who do some neat e-Reader related stuff, including developing brand new games on physical cards! bsky.app/profile/theu...

I currently have 11 extra spare cherish ball slowpoke codes and will hopefully grab more tomorrow for the last day. I WILL be giving them away, maybe during rumble weekend so you should probably consider following :)) twitch.tv/fexcollects

In Odama, you can connect the DK Bongos and use them to send out more troops. You can even do this during points in the game when you're not supposed to be able to send out more troops. The game was originally developed with the Bongos in mind, but was swapped to the mic during development.

As promised, the demo for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex for the Nintendo E-Reader is now available to play online! Give it a try: dizzy-sheep.nes.science #gamedev #homebrew #retro #gba

I'm looking for people who want to help test Pixel Pup, an upcoming nonogram (aka picross) game for the GBA e-Reader. I have 10 sets of cards that I will send out to testers. If interested, please read the details here www.retrodotcards.com/pixel-pup/beta #gamedev #indiedev

I made the music for this lil e-reader game. Check out the demo!

Finally building a better intro/instructions screen for Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex! It used to be dense text. That text now lives on the e-reader cards! Demo next week? #gamedev #homebrew

...when your scary bar graph just goes up, but doesn't have any labels on the Y or X axis to tell you what they are...

Look, I'm not going to get political, but this ad came to mind very, very recently. m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLAy...

Hi everyone. My name is Matt, and ... I have an e-Reader problem. (I'm not even sure that's all of them, they tend to just appear around this house...)

9 Analogue Pocket Extenders are left in the shop. Probably my last batch for the year. ko-fi.com/s/285cf729a2

Woohoo, good to see some beta testers got their cards and got them working. Thanks for the compliments! Most beta testers are still waiting for their cards due to technical difficulties. I am hoping to hear more on a solution to that problem this week, stay tuned.

A new blog post that goes over how Pixel Pup's puzzle pack cards work. www.mattgreer.dev/blog/hacking...

Yo @kyleor.land - You wrote this article a few years ago arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/... stating that Billy Mitchell threatened to sue Guinness. Now,,BM says you're lying x.com/FastestPacMa... - thoughts?

I finally got the chance to watch this and you should as well! Thanks to Frank and the VGHF (and special shout out to Gail, who really should write a book) for taking the time to make this happen!

The first Pixel Pup release will have four themed puzzle packs. Here is the third one, DIY. These images make it look like there will be 4 puzzle pack cards, but in reality, there will most likely be 2 puzzle pack cards. I'm shooting for about 80 puzzles total.

Want to help test an upcoming Nonogram (aka Picross) game for the Nintendo e-Reader? Join the Pixel Pup beta! All the details are here: www.retrodotcards.com/pixel-pup/beta

I've written four blog posts on printing e-reader cards if you really want the details www.mattgreer.dev/blog/printin... This is part 4, it links to parts 1-3 at the top.

The bees have a scarier cousin, be afraid of hornets! They see you, and they want your fuzzy blood. You have to move quickly to stay safe. Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX is coming soon for your e-reader and phone! #gamedev #homebrew #screenshotsaturday

Had the realization last night that I can truly just make whatever video I want to make for my channel and they don’t need to all be centered around projects that take me months of hard work and stress to develop WHOA………. Who would have thought… I’m free………

Tune in tomorrow, October 28th, for a brand new Animal Crossing video! See you all soon! ✍️
