Core v2.9.0 is now out! Lots of bug fixes here especially for anyone having issues with card scanning. New TUI overhaul, LaunchBox fixes and various other little things people have asked for and reported. Have fun! #Zaparoo zaparoo.org/blog/core-v2...

Got sent some pics yesterday of the new cards being made up, so I’m enabling pre-orders again since it was pretty popular last time. I’m expecting to ship in 2-3 weeks, not too far away 🙂 #Zaparoo shop.zaparoo.com

God please strike me down right now

I have fish now. I didn’t plan to have fish. I was taking care of a friend’s fish tank and there was unexpected babies and an angry mum so I had to split them up and buy a new tank. So now I have fish

Using the Multisystem2 + Zaparoo! = "Retro Gamers Dream" @wizzo.dev

Happy New Year! #Zaparoo Core v2.8.0 is out. Hold mode should be fixed (sorry!) and I'm looking for feedback on the improved SteamOS support and the new beta Bazzite and ChimeraOS platform support. zaparoo.org/blog/core-v2...

For sale, AUD$129. This is my original version that's been used, but is still in great condition. ko-fi.com/s/6eaf4796cf All proceeds go to the Bambu H2D repair fund.

Lazy

I'm planning a soft relaunch soon of #Zaparoo Online. I want to let people create and *share* live playlists of games which I've always felt would be a fun feature. Make your top 10 list, share a link, it just works. Want to change it? No problem, it's always up to date at launch.

It is so annoying when you bust ass being super healthy and cutting fun things out of your life and the result is you just feel NORMAL instead of GREAT or AMAZING

Really full

I was hunting some more obscure bugs with Zaparoo’s NFC lib. I ended up testing everything I could to track it down. It turns there are clone NTAGs which report standard capacity, let you do pretend reads in all sectors, but can only write to a small fraction of them. Great! Thank you!

Got a small number of Multisystem2 cards up in the shop if you were waiting for some. Found them tucked away in a box! No ETA yet for a full restock. #Zaparoo shop.zaparoo.com/products/mul...

Yes, occasionally, I go outside ;)

Long overdue but I am raising the prices in the Zaparoo Shop so I can make it actually sustainable. I want to make the position totally clear now. Want to support the project and have a direct line to me? Buy from the shop at a premium price. shop.zaparoo.com/blogs/news/s...

Another round of #Zaparoo Community Showcase! I was a little concerned I wouldn't have enough material to post often. WRONG. Love to see all the new work zaparoo.org/blog/communi...

Truly shit company

Minor bugfix release for #Zaparoo! Thanks to @andreabogazzi.bsky.social and discotoad for their contributions. zaparoo.org/blog/core-v2...

One week now since I deleted Reddit after using it for like 17 years. I’m surprised (and relieved) how much I don’t miss it. Much more informed about my local news, no more doomscrolling. A few days at the start I kept trying to open Reddit automatically but fine now. I hope more sites support RSS.

A couple of ink and watercolor commissions on a quiet Sunday evening. Want one of your own? Let me know!

After many hours fumbling around I can now say the #Zaparoo App is compatible with screen readers, I can use the entire app with my eyes closed which is cool. I’m sure it’s not perfect but a big improvement over the complete mess it was before. Sorry! I had no idea. Will be available next release

What a strange and satisfying feeling to read “you’re done, there’s no more news to read”

Do people still use RSS? How do you keep track of news from websites without social media now?

I am getting so exhausted of every other reddit post being a PITCH for my NEW APP (it works! — this fixed the thing and here’s why)

JetBrains meeting: “you know what would be a great feature? If there’s a lot of text showing in the terminal we should put a giant AI button right in the middle that can’t be dismissed and looks like shit”

Seeing things the community makes will forever be the coolest part of this project for me 🙂
