nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Maybe. I have to admit I was somewhat surprised when I saw that result from this setup. I can't really say what I expected, since that's a CRT and it's supposed to have zero lag, but seeing it confirmed was nice. 110
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Or this. :) This is the Time Sleuth port for the Tang Nano 4K, going through a HDMI -> VGA converter to a sync combiner to the CRT. On the very top of the image I get a consistent 0.01ms lag. 111

nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I wonder if they actually have the Neo Geo adapter. There's only the PC-Engine SRAM adapter pictured, with no SRAM card. 100

nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 04/06/2026My feed on Mastodon is different from my feed on Bsky (or Twitter, for that matter). As sad as it makes me, it looks like the majority of the retro gaming bubble stayed on Twitter, even though it's overrun with bots and MAGA types. My feed on Mastodon is mainly civil rights and strongly anti-AI. 010
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I just noticed Reiner Ziegler says there's a new version with parallel port: reinerziegler.de.mirrors.gg8.se/readplus.htm... 100
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 31/05/2026That was probably its intended use case. Everyone I know just downloaded their GB/GBC games from the internet back in these days, since they were so ridiculously small. GBC emulators also were around early, too. That's probably the reason why this device turns up so rarely. 100
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I still remember thinking that this thing is quite useless back then. PCs still had floppy drives, but the medium was already on the way out. The GB X-Changer with its parallel port was so much more convenient. 100
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 30/05/2026There is a complete one on Ebay for 6000 CAD. 😅 Or 225 EUR without the cartridge. It's a bit ridiculous. Here are two reviews from Subport.org from back in the days: web.archive.org/web/20020422... and web.archive.org/web/20010210... 100
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Got one v2 and two v3 carts back then. I'm halfway through building two carts myself, but stopped in January 2025 because there was an improved menu on the horizont. Since that didn't work out I should probably take up that project again, too. 010

Reposted by @nrq.bsky.socialChris Covell @chriscovell.bsky.social · 30/03/2026The "Pro Fighter X" series of SNES copiers has kinda stupid disk handling code: it doesn't filter out FAT entries on floppy disk that should never be displayed, like the Volume name ("CHRIS"), directories, and long filename chunks. This causes errors during display & loading. So I RE'd and fixed it. 213127

nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Great, thanks! Found that table at 0xFC00. Also experimented a bit. A ROM with "SUPER MARIOWORLD" in its header always gets the "AUTO PASSWORD" dialog. Super Mario World with an edited title doesn't get that dialog, so I guess it's safe to assume it's header-based. 000
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I also grep'ed through various Pro Fighter BIOS images I have on my HDD and the list of games seems to be identical from Pro Fighter X to FX-64. 100
nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 25/12/2025You're traversing 0x00 entries and connect them to each game entry that's 16 chars long, is that it? Codes are divided by 0x0A? Anything else? 100

nrq.bsky.social @nrq.bsky.social · 29/11/2025That would be the right way to license all media, in my opinion. Since music isn't licensed exclusively, streaming services need to compete on service quality, and it doesn't matter where I'm subscribed.
