Another pickup. Mega Drive 2 clone. Looking forward to digging into this.

Continuing on my Sega VCD obsession I managed to get my hands on several different version of the Genesis board that is included inside different players including some clone variants.

Recently got a small restock of Metal Dreamcast emblems. The last batch disappeared somewhere in California with a bunch of other things I had wanted.

Recently I've been doing a ton of research of Sega VCD Players and games. I recently managed to get several sets of discs including the packaging. Hopefully soon I can dump each set figure out which ones match up and what games they have.

Restocked new version of Famicom NROM Cartridge PCBs. https://www.muramasaentertainment.com/product/fc-nrom-black/

Got a bunch of goodies from @MakeMHz. Stellar and an XboxHD+ for when I finally get around to xbox stuff.

Finally restocked NES NROM Cartridge PCBs! https://www.muramasaentertainment.com/product/nes-nrom/

Recently picked up a copy of Rockman X for the PC. Decided to grab a bunch of Rock Maiden games while I was at it.

Just discovered the Zemina Family Card for the MSX allowing Famicom games to be played on the MSX. Now I really want to get my hands on one. www.msx.org/wiki/Zemina_...

EPSM is now in stock! The Expansion Port Sound Module for the NES is finally available again, and uses a newly manufactured connector and is ready for order. This batch is small. 25 units are available, but will convert to a pre-order. (1/4) www.muramasaentertainment.com/product/expa...

It's #PCBDay ! Or at least it was when I took this picture. :D

Planning to go live in about 45 minutes (5:15 PM Mountain Time). Will be messing around with Sega VCD Players. youtube.com/live/jgx17tz...

This is so cool. I'm glad Derek was able to crack this puzzle. We talked about this years ago and he explained that the protection was complicated. Now all 8 of us can enjoy VCDs on the Dreamcast :D

At long last I have now marked Gamecube shells, gamecube accessories, and gameboy player shells back in stock. www.muramasaentertainment.com/product-cate...

Ran into a slight snag with the EPSM stuff that caused me to put it aside. The beautiful connectors from @Time2Retro don't fit. Now Perkka made the EPSM before the connectors were available and the spacing ended up being off. (1/2)

So I had been trying to get a friend of mine to paint one of these for years, and now I have a NES colored Disk Drive!

Visited a friend's computer store and found out he has a new product and open source project launching. Introducing the ATAboy by JJ at obsoletetech. An IDE to USB adapter specifically for early IDE CHS drives. (1/2)

So my Prusa MK3s has served me well for a long time, but it now needs some work on the hotend. So I went ahead and spotted a used Prusa MK4s and so far I'm pretty thrilled. Living on my kitchen counter for now because not sure where to put it.

Ah much better. It's starting to look like a real thing. Now we need some real testing.

Had an outage with the site that's solved now and decided to do some other maintenance stuff while we were at it. Site is back up now.

My good friend @pointerfunction sent some PAL hardware extras he had. I'm just opening it now even though I received it in September. I was in the process of moving and decided this box was already packed so just moved it along. Particularly excited for a PAL NES to test with.

Decided to test the EPSMPlus with the enclosure and stumbled upon some fitment issues.The big problem is the middle channel is too wide due to constraining against the wrong spots. Should be an easy fix. Second is the hole for the audio jack isn't big enough.

Next up planning to go through the ESPM stock and do little fixes. If I remember right most of them has connectors that were too tight. When I was making my own connectors the rule was if it was hard for me to pull the pcb out with my fingers then it was too tight and it went into a pile.

So all those renders were made since July I think. I actually managed to order almost everything a couple months ago. Sadly I seemed to forget the new wireless module (remembered the lid though).

I have a small batch of Muramasa Disk System Cartridges with the NES Expansion bridge back in stock. Will probably take a bit to make more after this. (1/3) www.muramasaentertainment.com/product/mura...

Something I did on a whim. A board to make a NES Game Genie from original parts but fits in the same cut shell as my Extended Famicom Converter and NESTender. Basically made for me to prevent from damaging things like the slotmaster and nintendrawer. (1/2)

Here is a quick render of a Blue Retro Module I'm making with my NES Expansion bridge. This current design is built around the idea of using an off the shelf cheap module but not sure how reliable that will be. Still early stages.

I finally decided to buy a microscope. My eyes just can't inspect small connections very well any more. So far pretty happy with this one.

Have been working hard to get new Muramasa Disk System Cartridges together. Now just have to do adapters of various types.

Another module for the NES Expansion Bridge or NES Hub. This takes just the data recorder functionality from the Family Basic Keyboard and puts it in it's own module. Finally able to record Excite Bike tracks. Will probably be interesting to 7 people. (including myself)

Had an idea to get all the capability I had planned for the Expansion port in one module so this combines my NES Expansion Bridge and the EPSM. I didn't think it would all fit but it does in this odd shape. Not sure this will be more then a one off since the price will be high.

I've been quiet for quiet a while. A combination of moving and health issues have kept me unable to work on much and to be honest I was pretty burned out. I'm finally in the process of trying to restock some things and will be showing off various projects that I have been working on. (1/3)

So the next thing I have to deal with is moving. I'm planning to disable ordering from the site. I'll get those shipped off and work through the last few issues I'm communicating with people on. Likely to be able to turn the site back on in early October. Thanks

So at long last we are through the vast majority of orders. We are down to the last 10 or so orders. Should get most of them taken care of tomorrow and resolve some of the issues we have run into. Here is a picture of the pallet the packages came on.

Quick update. Castlemania shells are on the way. I forgot to take a picture so have one of the space the pallets used to be. Today packed 70 orders at that rate I should be caught up sometime Monday.

Alright quick update. Working through Gamecube orders have some with tracking which will get dropped off Saturday. So normally I would insist on shipping out orders from oldest to newest, but the way the factory packed them they didn't include the order numbers on them. (1/3)

At long last finally delivered. Was not expecting them to drop them on the street so spent the last 2 hours dragging them all in side (thank goodness I have a dolly). (1/2)

First let me apologize for the delay in communication. I have a lot going on right now mixed with some illness which has made things difficult. Gamecube shells are now in transit to me and are estimated to arrive around July 20th.(1/3)

Enjoy! Please share any pics of your own installs, along with any feedback you might have for me ❤️

We have a long awaited Gamecube update. I hate to send these so close to the predicted day but many things have become more clear even in the last few days. (1/5)

Created a quick video to show off the Muramasa Disk System Cartridge being used with the NES Hub Disk Adapter. youtu.be/HrFxLqoCIfk

Its up! If you're a cheapskate dont worry, I'll have the STLs published soon too blueshell3d.com/products/gc-...

I got myself a test unit of the SNEdge to fix the blur on SNES’ RGB output. Goal was to help map PAL model differences, but let me share the results, as this is truly awesome! 2 ways to install, results; stock - piggyback/sidecar - bypass

Gamecube update time. TLDR. Colors are done. Figuring out shipping and tariffs. End of March if the factory fulfills orders. End of April if using an ocean shipment. Read on for more details. (1/4)

So here it is. It's pretty jank but it's getting the job done for me so far. I have ideas to make it better but for now this is it.

Since so many people were interested I took some quick pictures of my dip desoldering tool or 'DeDipper'. It's pretty jank right now but I'll make a short video showing it.

Off to a great start with harvesting chips. I designed a special tool to heat all the joints at once and I'm pretty happy at how well it's working. I'll have to show it off soon.

Gamecube update time! The new samples are here and they are finally good to go. Meaning every mold is approved and ready for production. (1/6)
