As part of a collaboration with the incredibly talented @redherring32.com of Opentendo fame, we are happy to announce the OpenTendo-AGB (OpenGBA)! This is a fully open source recreation of the AGB-CPU-01 circuit board. (Repository is attached in the next post)

OpenTendo-Twin, an open source recreation of the Sharp Twin Famicom (A Famicom with a Famicom Disk System built in) is in the final stages before release. The highlighted nets are all that are left, testing and then release should happen quite soon.

trying to decide if this would be a good or bad idea

I'm sorry but it's true.

Everybody knows all the best cube shaped consoles have a handle

@selaco.bsky.social you played Trepang2? If not you should check it out. It feels a lot like a F.E.A.R game to me, and even has a slide kick that feels Selaco-ish. Can even do a jump out of the slide to get some distance like Selaco too.

We’re excited to announce Project Stellar Plus - a complete redesign with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless controller support, and faster hardware. 🚀 makemhz.com/blogs/news/p...

Hey everyone! I’ve been a bit MIA, but for good reason. I just finished a project that’s been nearly a year in the making. Easily the biggest thing I’ve ever worked on, and I can’t wait for you to see it! Video goes LIVE tomorrow at 11AM EST!

Made a pen for a Christmas charity auction. It's Holly, silver, sweet potato and African Blackwood, with engraved Holly leaf hardware.

Ring made of Red palm, African blackwood, and sweet potato with a 24K gold kintsugi inlay. #woodworking

GameCube

Buy this RIGHT NOW. One of the best games I've ever played, easily top 10, for a stupid low price. Frankly it's an insult to it to buy it so cheap but do it anyway!

You guys no longer have an excuse!

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, I spent the weekend creating a patch for Bug! and Bug Too! to run on modern Windows Bug!er Up fixes Windows 11 compatibility; adds support for XInput controllers, removes the CD-ROM requirement and allows custom soundtracks. github.com/LukeUsher/bu...

Have you seen this? @seamus.bsky.social eugene.craigslist.org/sys/d/eugene...

Rewatching your video about using the Gameboy Camera with the N64DD while 3D modeling made me do this. I hope you approve. @stopskeletons.bsky.social (I am building a portable GameCube with real GameCube hardware in it with a built in GameBoy Player. So you will 100% be able to do this.)

I'm making a portable GameCube. It's not a Wii. It'll have a directly driven 480p laminated IPS panel for the crispiest GameCube pixels you've seen. It'll have USB C PD charging. Video out over USB C. Wireless 4 player multiplayer. Oh, it'll play Gameboy games too. Don't forget the handle.

The last pieces have arrived! 🥳 We will be working on the installation guides over the weekend and will begin shipping out orders later next week!

Practicing macro shots of silicon dies

Because of difficulties getting resin parts, I've temporarily switched to design projects that I can print in FDM at home. One such project: a custom Gamecube Keyboard Controller! The shell is 3D printed, but I plan on creating a complete replacement!

I'm stoked to have finally finished the Kawaii, a fully functional metal Wii keychain. It's way smaller than it looks— only as big as a Game Boy cartridge! ✨🟦✨ Huge thanks to @weskmods.bsky.social and @dingding-cnc.bsky.social for being awesome project partners!

Does anyone happen to have access to or know someone who has access to an Olympus Lext OLS3000 or OLS3100? Been unable to get mine to work and I don’t think its hardware failure but I have very little information as to how things should work.

I made a ring out of a sweet potato and salt. Sorta #woodworking right?

Finally, a portable Gameboy.

I am a contestant in the 2025 BitBuilt Summer building competition, this year I am building a portable GameCube. bitbuilt.net/forums/index... Have a project you'd like to make? I encourage you to enter too! Link to competition in reply.

Xenii over on BitBuilt has created an incredible open-source Wii handheld called the Xii-Boy Ultra. It is a fully functional Wii console in a Gameboy-style shell that is just 27mm thick! Check it out here bitbuilt.net/forums/index... or build your own github.com/Xenii1642/Xi...!

I made a pen out of spalted hickory, spalted beech, brass, leather and carrot. Yes the vegetable. Yes I'm serious. #woodworking

Halo 2 HD - Stellar Edition is now available! Built for Project Stellar, it brings full support for custom resolutions, letting you experience Halo 2 like never before. Here it is running at 1720x720!🤯 github.com/MakeMHz/stel...

🚀 Project Stellar Firmware 1.8.0 is here! Six months of deep reverse engineering, major video pipeline fixes, over 100 new display modes, GameID support, external scaler integration, and more. makemhz.com/blogs/news/p...

I made a pen out of blackberry wood. Yes blackberry plants have wood, and you bet I worked it. #woodworking

A new version that supports all motherboard revisions is finished, however due to tariffs and Hong Kong halting shipments to USA I'm uncertain when I will be able to test it. Hopefully sooner rather than later. :(

The first ever USB C power supply for the original Xbox is now OPEN SOURCE. 121 revision Xboxes are currently supported, 009 and 012 will come the next few days. It is licensed under TAPR , you may make, and sell it as long as you leave my name on the PCB, and share changes.

I thought I posted this here too but I guess not. Need an Xbox PSU? This is a USB C PD power supply for intact original Xbox consoles (Not portables!) I will be open sourcing it very soon.

This is the Nintendo Dataship 1200. An extremely rare Famicom with a built in network system. It's so rare, I bet you have never heard of it. Let's reverse engineer it together. Follow along for however long it takes, and I will show you how to preserve this stuff forever. :)

Do you have access to a Sharp Famicom Titler? Do you know someone who does? I need HD top down photos of the front and back of the motherboard. If you are able to get the photos, please toss them in a GDrive folder and DM me the link. Reposts are appreciated.

The custom footprints, layout, and outline for OpenTendo-Twin are done, the same is nearly done for OpenTendo-Titler. Not bad for a days work. For those that don't know, OpenTendo-Twin, and OpenTendo-Titler will cover the Sharp Twin Famicom, and Sharp Famicom Titler respectively. 1/2

Hey! @seamus.bsky.social I was looking through photos of the metal X prototype, and noticed there seem to be 3 different jewels? A "Powered by Direct X" jewel, a black and a green Xbox jewel. I was wondering if you remembered the timelime on these?

In collaboration with @kamoteshake.dev and @muramasanet.bsky.social OpenTendo V1.4 is now available. It comes in 2 flavors, an OEM branch, and a modified one for building your own NES that has new parts Release notes and files: OEM: github.com/Redherring32... Modded: github.com/Redherring32...

Did you know that Silicon is transparent to IR at wavelengths above ~1100nm? Here I have 5 IR LEDs beneath and above a silicon die. First you’re seeing the visible light which I then turn off so you can see the IR shining through with a camera that has no IR filter.

Another successful decap with rosin.

Selaco has won the 2024 Indie of the Year Award (Player's Choice) on IndieDB! Thank you all so much for voting!

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?...

GB Studio has come to the NES! You can build games for the NES, using the world-class toolset found in GB Studio! #gbstudio #gameboy #nesdev github.com/michel-iwani...

Today I fixed a bug that prevented users from rejoining the lobby in Crimson Skies for the original Xbox on the OG Xbox Live replacement insignia.live For those that don't know, Insignia is a replacement Xbox Live service for the OG Xbox and we support many games including Halo 2. Join us and play!

@nanoraptor.danamania.com Your work was in the new @electroboom.bsky.social video. youtu.be/HJYLROgd6IA

Since pictures of valves new controller have surfaced, I wanted to share the design I've been working on for a few months! It's surprising just how close I got!

At long last I'm ready to accept pre-orders for my NES Disk Cartridge (Muramasa Disk System Cartridge). To go along with it and explain the different options I made my first youtube video which you can see here. (1/5) youtu.be/0iyQ1N43U-U
