I've been using Apple Music on Android for seven years now, with my whole family on my plan. And suddenly I'm not allowed to use the app anymore, because I decided to take ownership of my devices? Your loss, I know how to navigate the high seas. #AppleMusic #Android #root

This C64 set from Ebay arrived today. First time I use a C64, looking forward to learning more about this thing. #C64 #Commodore #retrogaming

The Open AGB Display is live - A fully open source IPS screen mod for the Game Boy Advance, offering extra screen space for classic Game Boy games. Based on the RP2350, it is software defined and easy to adapt. Please repost! #openagbdisplay #oshw #gameboy www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/250825...

Fuck Mod Retro and Chromatic. I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but Palmer Luckey is a Zionist who creates AI weapons. It isn't that hard to spend your money elsewhere

After being extremely cryptic about the new hardware project I'm working on in my last "photo of my monitor" post, here's a hopefully less cryptic one. Now that more things are working, here's a clue that is hopefully a little more obvious about what it is:

Shonumi has published his book on the Pokémon Mini: shonumi.github.io/books.html - his Edge of Emulation reports on obscure Game Boy hardware are legendary, so I expect this to contain a lot of fascinating Pokémon Mini trivia and technical insights. #Nintendo #Pokemon #PokemonMini

Ever wanted to create a game for the NES emulator of the GBA e-Reader? Well, now you can. igwgames.com/blog/2025/06...

CartFriend 0.2.4 for Flash Masta cartridges is now out! Dave has generously lent me his rev5 unit, allowing me to finally debug and fix the issue that prevented WW support from working on these newer cartridges. github.com/asiekierka/w...

Yeah ..... so DVD shows being in the wrong colour format - let me show you some things - I'll label them exhibit A :)

And now we come to the end of Season 4 #StarTrekVoyager. "Hope and Fear" the last episode to stack from laserdisc NTSC-J (Japanese) - there is a Season 5 on laserdisc but by that time DVD got their act together and its superior to upscale from. Loved showing u raw LD stick with me as we upscale!

#sd2psXtd 1.20-RC1 incoming 😉 github.com/sd2psXtd/fir...

Updates to the Super Nintendo version of the 240p Test Suite artemiourbina.itch.io/240p-test-su...

Been playing around with USBRetro, the Raspberry Pico and PC-Engine. Only took some minor configuration and it works on the Pico. Thanks a lot for publishing the source, @robertdalesmith.bsky.social! #usbretro #raspberrypico #pcengine

Looking forward to building this myself some day. Looks like it's pretty much completely available now from the links in the blog post. Great work, @embedded-ideas.de!

That last line! > I really was just a fuckin cog in a mega corp.

Ok. Do I NEED three defective Doctor V64 N64 copiers? No. Absolutely not. I already have several working ones. But at €9 for all of them... how could I possibly say no?? #RetroGaming #CollectorProblems #N64

This is going to be interesting. RP2350B-based, open source/open hardware and per game palettes? Where can I sign up, I want this! #Gameboy #DMG #Nintendo

Here's a short imgur tutorial I made that describes the setup process for Lumacode with a NTSC NES/Famicom and the OSSC: imgur.com/gallery/set-...

I'm impressed by how many people didn't get the connection between how Adam Sandler was dressed at tonight's Oscars.

Made palettes switchable for NES lumacode with the OSSC. Opened a pull request, let's see if this makes it to official firmware.

SNES consoles seem to be getting faster as they age. Help us collect data. Do you have an SNES and a flash cart? Run the smpspeed ROM test from lidnariq on your console. Post your results on this TASBot Nextcloud form: nextcloud.tas.bot/index.php/ap...

At this point I have no idea why German Bahn even bothers to provide timetables and connection information.

Curious about what these tables in this German Regional Express train were originally designed for. They're clearly not meant for typing, the height is far too low to be comfortable.

Over the weekend I recompiled OSSC for lumacode with Firebrand X palette. Result is here: github.com/herrkuhn/pal... - attached are before and after image. Scaled to 10X with the RT4K.

Modded a Famicom with a PPUDigitizer yesterday, with some inspiration from Adrian's Digital Basement for the placement. Line5X at 1600x1200 (1:1 AR) through the OSSC, then vertically pre-scaled and horizontally decimated and scaled to 10X via RT4K. I've never seen so little noise from a NES console.

Last day of sipping cold drinks and staring at the sea. Tomorrow we leave the island, then it's back to the cold German winter. 🌊❄️

If you're curious about the philosphy behind some A.I. bros or you heard of LessWrong before this is a must read.

First video of the new year! Try dives into those new mClassic devices and... uh, yeah. youtu.be/tDeqzk-RtWU?...

We're watching 'Third World country any%' live. Elections have consequences - who would have thought?

"Polite disagree bots". Always something new. An interesting read. An interesting thread, too.

Chao Praya, Bangkok. #bangkok #thailand

Fourth time opening this Sony Bravia TV this week, now on my third PCB replacement. I hope this one finally works. Fingers crossed...

The new Everdrive N8 Pro firmware restores compatibility with the official English Kid Dracula ROM from the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, which works fine on the original N8. ROM has an interesting backstory: forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.ph...

Here's an ultra rare dual copier it does Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo CCL Smart Bro it's the last copier they ever made...

events.ccc.de/congress/202... You can bypass security on the RP2350 by glitching the OTP power supply (which does not have a glitch detector on it). This causes OTP to supply "guard data" instead of real data, and interpreting the guard data happens to enable RISC-V mode, which can do anything.

Hello again! For the second day of NESMas, we bring you a collection of prototypes amassed by the Nolan Brothers, who have graciously donated the majority of their collection for preservation. Enjoy! See you on January 1st for our last NESMas stream! hiddenpalace.org/News/NESMas_...

"Free games? With this strange contraption? Meow-sterious..." #Nintendo64 #N64

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?...

Review: OpenED for Genesis/Megadrive

Been playing around with my finished OpenMVS today a bit. Looking spectacular on a Retrotink 4K.

I think Samson disapproves of my cable management skills...

An interesting new development, someone has taken up the task of documenting the Game Doctor SF 3 and 7 PCBs and memory boards on Github: github.com/RWeick/SNES-... and github.com/RWeick/SNES-... - on Discord he says the GDSFIII board is up and running.

Just finished modding an AV Famicom with a NESRGB 2.1 mod I had installed in an OG Famicom previously. I just wish I made the switch earlier, the AV Famicom image is pristine. #Nintendo #NES #Famicom #RGB

Why did I just now learn that you can do SQL-like queries on Google Sheets? This is so much more intuitive than XLOOKUP. I've just become a whole lot more dangerous...

This is what I woke up to today. I mean, really, the internet archive? Come on!

I built a small RGB breakout device using a SCART gender changer yesterday. Now, I no longer have to measure from an open console like a peasant. 😁

An interesting thread about the timing attacks that de-anonymized a user on the TOR network in Germany recently: 23.social/@linuzifer/1... German only, sorry.

Last new arrival, the manual for the Game Doctor SF III SNES copier. With... somewhat unconventional design on the back. Is he... beating that kid with a copy station?? 🧐
