Work in progress of the #NeoGeo version of Neon Gyre. Placeholder music for now. I am considering developing this out into a full game supporting 2 players, joystick or rotary controls and lots of over the top action. Interest in a physical cartridge release?

YO, homes, I heard you like spinner controllers. I have designed a rotary/paddle controller for the Sega #MasterSystem. Works with Neon Gyre 88 (acts like the Sports Pad) and all the actual paddle games. And it's gonna be open source so you can build your own. UR welcome.

I am considering doing an upgraded version of my Neon Gyre for the #NeoGeo console. Any interest in a high powered Tempest 2000 inspired shooter for the Neo? Will support joystick and of course the rotary controller. This is gameplay video of the latest Master System build

PicoPak for #MasterSystem gets REWIND! World's first real hardware Rewind in a flashcart. No one else does it anywhere for any console. Give this a like and repost if you want to see this same thing brought to the PCEngine and TurboGrafx16.

Announcing Neon Gyre 88 for the Sega #MasterSystem. It's a tribute to Tempest and exclusively playable on the upcoming SMS PicoPak flashcart leveraging it's coprocessor enhancement. Will be available for free to download with dev docs. This is a WIP with placeholder music.

PicoPak for #MasterSystem also has a built in VGM music player with visualizers. It's always annoyed me that more flashcarts don't bother with this or required kinda crappy thirdparty roms to do it. Not so with PicoPak! It's built right in. And it's damn good.

R U A FILTHY CHEATER?? Well, with PicoPak for the #MasterSystem you can totally cheat and not even break a sweat. And it saves the cheats to a text file on the sd card so next time they are memorized for your convenience. Level up ur cheatin' with PicoPak for Master System!

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I hope your Sega Master System is ready. PicoPak is coming. #MasterSystem In this first look video, I talk about my save state implementation. Lots more later on as there is a hell of a lot to cover. This is just the tip of the iceberg. RETROFROG DOES.

Just grabbed Razing core by @badcomputer.bsky.social Awesome shmup for the SMS! I am completely blown away by what indie devs have squeezed out of the Master System.

PicoPak for #Colecovision now has Joystick as paddle for the #MSX Arkanoid. Normally it only supports keyboard and the Vaus paddle controller so I replicated the paddle controls and mapped them over to the joystick and provided a menu option to toggle it.

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Have a #Colecovision and Super Game Module? With #PicoPak you can also now play all the wonderful MSX1 games. All the #MSX AY audio is reproduced faithfully by the AY chip in the SGM. Your Colecovision game library just got a lot bigger! SCC Audio is still a work in progress.

So apparently publicly buying voters is a-ok now. Fucking hell.

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

SG-1000 games now work on the #Colecovision thanks to PicoPak CV. No conversions required. Will add support to run Sord M5 games (along with a couple other similar spec hardware) and finally MSX 1 games with an attached Super Game Module. PicoPak is gonna be 🔥

Colecovision flashcart update! New dev board build with RP2350B - Full retail game and megacart support up to 256KB (as of now). And Back to menu button on the cart. Hopefully next update video will be the new menu system and testing with Super Game Module games.

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Update! My WIP #Colecovision flashcart now has a basic menu and loads games! Still lots to do, but it can load games. And fast too!

USB4JAG boards are in. And they are gloriously tiny! Soon your #AtariJaguar will be able to use USB gamepads, joysticks and even mice/trackballs!

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

USB4AMI is powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2354A microcontroller. It’s way overkill and borderline comical to have a controller/mouse adapter more powerful than what it’s plugged into. 🤣

Todd Gill - Retro Frog @retrofrog.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

USB4AMI will be available this weekend for early sales at the International Retro Computer Expo 2026/Boatfest in Hurricane, West Virginia. Come check it out (and maybe pick one up!). I will also have an #AtariJaguar setup with USB4JAG demoing some games. #C64 #Amiga #AtariST #Atari8

USB4AMI update! The #MEGA65 by @mega65.bsky.social recently saw the release of an #Amiga 500 core for it and of course I had to test USB4AMI on it. Tracking and both mouse buttons work exactly as you would expect. USB4AMI will be available to order in about 2 weeks. Price $34

Another update on USB4JAG: Twitter user asked about controller input from Raptor API based games like Gravitic Mines. Apparently other controller adapters cause these games to largely be unplayable. Works perfect with USB4JAG! #atarijaguar
