Star Wars Galactic Racer. A modern game, for once. Included with Luna Prime, if you happen to have Amazon Prime too. First impression: excellent. Worthy successor to Episode I Racer on N64? We'll see. jotten.neocities.org/posts/star-war… #gaming #starwars

The FiiO Snowsky Disc keeps getting firmware updates. Slowly getting there. Took a long time before it became properly usable, though. There is even a custom OS now: diskOS by b0hemia. Flashing takes 15 minutes. Give it a spin. Ha ha […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Dusty Game Society August game: Metroid Fusion for GBA. What a blast. I probably bombed every wall in every room. Just to be sure. jotten.neocities.org/posts/dgs-augu… #gaming #retro #handhelds

Been dabbling with homebrew and single-game flash carts for Game Boy. One game per cart still feels right. This one is an MBC5 cartridge with rumble functionality. Very cool. New games like Pachipals support rumble. Old hardware, new tricks. Turns out […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Dusty Game Society July game: Brave Fencer Musashi for PS1. Lots of interesting game mechanics. The protagonist is obnoxious. Would Link have been this annoying if he had a voice? jotten.neocities.org/posts/dgs-july… #gaming #retro #consoles

Got some high-quality rewritable cartridges. One game per cart. No choice paralysis like with an EverDrive. Epilogue Operator finally gets to earn its keep. OG feeling. jotten.neocities.org/posts/rewritab… #gaming #retro #hardware

Current Dusty Game Society game is on PS1. My skills were inadequate. Needed some “game enhancement options”. Enter the Xploder FX. The game did not load. Updated the cartridge ROM with UniROM. Game loads. Thanks to everyone giving old hardware new life […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Dusty Game Society June game: Metal Max for NES. Super Famicom version won. Remake, looks better, and avoided the very sensible purchase of a Famicom for one game. Post-apocalyptic tanks, bounty hunting, desert wasteland. DGS material […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Put a Ninten-Drawer into my NES. Very simple mod. Much better than reseating cartridges fifty times and hoping for the best. No more blowing into the cart either. Finally. Region unlock included too. Tip top. jotten.neocities.org/posts/ninten-d… #retro #hardware #consoles

Got asked after the Gashapon post whether that thing actually works as a controller. It doesn't. Real Nintendo parts, zero function. Turns out there's an actual solution for this. The IINE Gamebrick Mini. Fully functional Bluetooth controller, Famicom […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]
