muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Planned to do a sale but ended up going down a rabbit hole so just calling it Late Labor Day Sale. GameCube shells, opaque Saturn shells, and stars PlayStation shells. Running from September 10th to 14th. (1/4) 162
Reposted by @muramasanet.bsky.socialDennis van den Broek @pointerfunction.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I think I stumbled upon one of the coolest things I thrifted in a long while today, something I’ve never seen before too - a 8086 microcontroller development board! (assembly manual included) 4253
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Example of a Sega VCD menu from my program to make new sega vcd discs. It can identify the roms and slots they are in and generate the VCD menus. Press the button on the front of the player and it loads the game. Still lots to do but have the basic functionality I wanted. 070
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 21/07/2026A kit I don't know much about labeled DMG ICE. Most of the units I see are the newer gameboy color and gameboy advanced kits. 050
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Finally got around to fixing one of these so I can have a reliable test unit. Drive needed a new belt and laser pickup. Took me a while to figure out all the plastic clips holding it together. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Another VCD related gizmo for a game console. This attachment allowed a Playstation to play VCD discs. I remember wanting one as a kid because it would allow to play anime fansubs on a 'big' tv. Was outside what I could afford though. 160
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 17/07/2026From a 2016 PRGE trip. My friend won the 360 slim xdk for cheap cause no one bid and sold it to me cause I had to leave early. I didn't have any Vic-20 games and always like having at least some carts. The Nintendo binders I wonder what I did with. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 17/07/2026A side quest I went on that has kind of grown for me is a creating a photo management application with an LLM made specifically for me. I'm finally organizing all my photos and able to find them and connect them into others systems (such as a social media tool). (1/3) 220
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Oh wow Linux on the 32x. I always love when people port operating systems to old game consoles. cakehonolulu.github.io/linux-on-32x 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Man I miss this game. I borrowed a switch (and weirdly still don't own one). to play this game for a month. Was really sad when it disappeared. 150
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Old photo from 2017 but one I like. Huge junk lot of Famicom from Japan. Sold through a lot of these. My friend who was completely uninterested in old video games but was helping me out to this day remember how to clean the controllers to get rid of the buzz. 080
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Decided to buy a GameKing because it was cheap. Don't really know any thing about this system or if this one even works. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Finally bought a pair of solder tweezers. Hope they don't suck. Now I just need to clean my work bench and get everything arranged. 050
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026My latest Japan order. I always wanted the IBM version of the PC-FX GA and went crazy trying to get one. A Playstation VCD Adapter and just the jewel case version of Rockman X4 for PC. Good little haul. 080
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Taking placeholders down for the Playstation memory cart controller port parts. At this point I'd rather direct time and funds towards projects I find more interesting. I'll keep the waitlist in case I revive it in the future. 020
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Picked up a Blu Ray drive and flashed it with the OmniDrive firmware. Because apparently I'll never have enough special optical drives. 0100
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Another pickup. Mega Drive 2 clone. Looking forward to digging into this. 020
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Continuing 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. 080
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Recently got a small restock of Metal Dreamcast emblems. The last batch disappeared somewhere in California with a bunch of other things I had wanted. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Recently 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. 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Restocked new version of Famicom NROM Cartridge PCBs. www.muramasaentertainment.com/produ… 010
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Got a bunch of goodies from @MakeMHz. Stellar and an XboxHD+ for when I finally get around to xbox stuff. 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Finally restocked NES NROM Cartridge PCBs! www.muramasaentertainment.com/produ… 060
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Recently picked up a copy of Rockman X for the PC. Decided to grab a bunch of Rock Maiden games while I was at it. 060
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Just 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_...msx.orgZemina Family Card - MSX WikiThe Zemina Family Card (재미나 패밀리 카드) is an extension to play the Famicom games on the MSX computers and Zemmix consoles. It was sold in the late 80's, early 90's in South Korea. 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026EPSM 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...muramasaentertainment.comExpansion Port Sound Module (EPSM)Please read the 2nd Batch notes below. 130
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026It's #PCBDay ! Or at least it was when I took this picture. :D 1100
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Planning to go live in about 45 minutes (5:15 PM Mountain Time). Will be messing around with Sega VCD Players. youtube.com/live/jgx17tz...youtube.comSega VCD Player Troubleshooting StreamQuick diagnosing and troubleshooting of Sega VCD Players and some other stuff. 020
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/04/2026This 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 192
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 02/04/2026At long last I have now marked Gamecube shells, gamecube accessories, and gameboy player shells back in stock. www.muramasaentertainment.com/product-cate...muramasaentertainment.comGamecube Replacement ComponentsMake your game happen! 0123
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Ran 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) 110
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 24/02/2026So 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! 091
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Visited 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) 150
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 29/01/2026So 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. 000
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Ah much better. It's starting to look like a real thing. Now we need some real testing. 050
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Had 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. 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 27/01/2026My 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. 150
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Decided 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. 010
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Next 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. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 25/01/2026So 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). 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I 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...muramasaentertainment.comMuramasa Disk System Cartridge and NES Expansion BridgeNote a stock notification went out by mistake. We are working on these now and will announce it soon. Kit to play FDS games on the NES! 152
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Something 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) 1133
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Here 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. 040
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I 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. 070
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Have been working hard to get new Muramasa Disk System Cartridges together. Now just have to do adapters of various types. 090
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Another 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) 1100
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Had 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. 120
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I'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) 150
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 11/09/2025So 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 020
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 25/08/2025So 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. 130
