zwenergy @zwenergy.bsky.social · 13/09/2025GB mini - Game Boy games on the Pokemon mini. The emulator is running on the PM2040 flash cart. As the PM has built-in rumble, GB rumble games (like Pokemon Pinball) use the PM's rumble. Save games supported as well. Next step audio emulation. 315445
zwenergy @zwenergy.bsky.social · 17/08/2025I played a bit more with the idea of using the RP2040 on the PM2040 flash cart to also fully run "games", whereas the Pokemon mini merely pulls framebuffer data and sends button states to the cart. I created a small Pong-like game as a PoC. 1111

zwenergy @zwenergy.bsky.social · 12/07/2025To save some space, I made a vertical stand for the 3DO FZ-10 model. Mainly as a display stand, but I guess it also should be fine for units with an internal ODE. Note: It sits on the AV expansion port, so that port is not accessible. 120
zwenergy @zwenergy.bsky.social · 09/07/2025I played a bit more with the "2 in 1" firmware for my RP2040-based flash cart for the Pokemon mini and now added it to the GitHub repo. ROMs can be easily injected via an online tool into a base FW and then transferred via USB-C on the flash cart. 181
