Come see me on Mon the 26th @ 2pm MT for a really cool stream and giveaway!! I’m going to repair 2 extremely rare distribution carts then a copy of US Platinum. At the end of stream I’ll give away the repaired platinum to a follower in chat :) Winner will be announced live so any DM is a scam

I've released a quick little LiPo battery mod for the Nintendo DSi Quality cells have gotten harder to obtain, especially in Europe, this uses a 602550 LiPo cell instead. ko-fi.com/Post/DSi-Lip...

Spicy take: question and research info you get from people who are purely youtube/content creators, bc I see a lot of bad info come my way from these people 🙃

The Panasonic Q HDMI mod is now available on Github & PCBWay (with assembly) DIY cost: 35-45 usd Assembled from @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social : 75-80 USD github.com/HDR/Panasoni... www.pcbway.com/project/shar...

The Drop-in Panasonic Q HDMI Mod Lives!

Still waiting on parts for the board itself, but everything seems to fit well so far

Button covers arrived, the printed piece needs some minor tweaking to improve button feel, but it works quite well

Poor man's programming tool, i call it the "ProgChamp"

Created an animated render of the replacement Panasonic Q remote while i wait for the parts to build a real one

Work in Progress GCVideo based internal plug and play HDMI mod for the Panasonic Q

An updated look at the iQube with some @machonachomedia.bsky.social flair. Barring any major fitment issues this is how the final version will look.

This is what the final remote should look like, the buttons will be domes that sit over the physical switches

I just need to design the button cover and it should be done :)

Enclosure is coming along nicely

This is what the "release" PCB will most likely look like, the firmware is functional, but needs some work in regards to power consumption, i'm working on designing a housing too Also, please consider supporting me on ko-fi, prototyping is expensive <3 ko-fi.com/martinrefseth

Quick little project

Mail day

All 4 variants of the Panasonic Q backplate are up on @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social's shared projects page martinrefseth.com/projects/#pa... It might be worth doing some sort of group buy to reduce the per-unit cost, my discord might be a good place for that discord.gg/TUeFmMXfsh

Plan is to have 4 variants up on PCBWay Shared. Stock English, Stock Japanese, FlippyDrive English & FlippyDrive Japanese

Panasonic Q backplate with FlippyDrive support, made from 1018 steel using #PCBWay's Sheet Metal Service, it has 8 extruded and tapped holes, along with a powder-coated and silkscreened back Huge thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this project!

2 years ago I responded to a Tweet from @shankmods.bsky.social It turned into an unforgettable adventure Shank is a great storyteller, and the video he made chronicling the whole ordeal is truly something special Even if you have no interest in CRTs, it’s worth a watch! youtu.be/JfZxOuc9Qwk?...

New video. This one has been in the works for over 2 years. I think this is the best story I will ever tell on my YouTube channel. youtu.be/JfZxOuc9Qwk?...

Someone on reddit supposedly bought a box of GBC & GBA development hardware that originated from Lucasarts at an estate sale🤯 www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/co...

Some more progress

Just in case anyone else needs to feel old, the Nintendo DS turns 20 today.

This week's project

👀

Managed to get my hands on something pretty unique

Decided to throw my Machined (or 3D printed) Nintendo Switch cartridges up on PCBWay's shared projects page for other people to play with www.pcbway.com/project/shar...
