muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not missed just not mentioned in that context. Every new technology and automation affects peoples income. It's a harder question to answer. 000
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think a lot of people are going to have to figure out why they are doing the things they do. If you are working on a project because it is technically interesting and you enjoy it I don't see any problems. If it's just about something like recognition for example a lot of that is disappearing. 100
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026And we have a handful of STARS Playstation shells left. (4/4) www.muramasaentertainment.com/produ… 010

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 · 17/07/2026But the only reason I really mention is because sorting through my photos I'm finding cool stuff I completely forgot about. So hopefully will be able to show off some of that stuff soon. (3/3) 020
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 17/07/2026In the past it was annoying to take the picture, transfer it to my computer, scale it to something social media will accept, drag it to my social media tool and then finally post it. Now I can do it all quickly. (2/3) 110
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 · 13/07/2026Glad I clicked on the comments I didn't know this and have never tried mine. 120
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I got one of these from a friend in the UK a few years ago. He was a a little baffled as to why I wanted it. 100
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 · 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 · 07/06/2026I ordered some replacements as well. I'm going to try and document the fixes I find though. 030
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I find these machines fascinating. Not super practical but am having a lot of fun digging into them. I did a quick stream with them recently www.youtube.com/live/jgx17tz...youtube.comSega VCD Player Troubleshooting StreamYouTube video by Muramasa 161
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 · 06/05/2026Have avoiding using wayland for years. I loaded Ubuntu 24.04 because it was an LTS release that still still has X. I plan to redo my system soon and will at least try wayland but am assuming i will need X support. 000
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Hopefully. For now need to put one together and see what the pitfalls are. 010
muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026EPSMPlus is an enhanced version intended to combine EPSM functionality with additional Expansion Port features.

muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026We also have a few units from previous EPSM batches are also still available.

muramasanet.bsky.social @muramasanet.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Once the in-stock units sell through, the listing will switch to a preorder which will run for a few days. After gauging immediate demand I'll order a larger batch. (2/4) 110

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 · 24/02/2026So going to update the base design as well and contribute those changes back to Perkka's repo (2/2) 020
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
