Current Dusty Game Society game is on PS1. My skills were inadequate. Needed some “game enhancement options”. Enter the Xploder FX. The game did not load. Updated the cartridge ROM with UniROM. Game loads. Thanks to everyone giving old hardware new life […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

New version of my favorite ROM hack for my favorite SNES game. Secret of Mana Plus. Still active after all this time. Nice to see. Release post. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/secret-of-mana-plus.html #gaming #retro #romhacks

Dusty Game Society June game: Metal Max for NES. Super Famicom version won. Remake, looks better, and avoided the very sensible purchase of a Famicom for one game. Post-apocalyptic tanks, bounty hunting, desert wasteland. DGS material […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Put a Ninten-Drawer into my NES. Very simple mod. Much better than reseating cartridges fifty times and hoping for the best. No more blowing into the cart either. Finally. Region unlock included too. Tip top. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/ninten-drawer.html #retro #hardware #consoles

Epilogue announced the 64 Operator two weeks ago. Right up my alley. Already waiting on the SN Operator shipping end of July. Now this. Epilogue really won't let me save money. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/64-operator.html #retro #hardware #consoles

Got asked after the Gashapon post whether that thing actually works as a controller. It doesn't. Real Nintendo parts, zero function. Turns out there's an actual solution for this. The IINE Gamebrick Mini. Fully functional Bluetooth controller, Famicom […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Old OnePlus Nord. New job: /e/OS test bench. Pixel spoiled me. This will hurt a bit. /e/OS just hit version 4.0. Looks promising. Skipping the Murena Workspace fluff though, /e/OS itself is the point. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/eos.html #privacy #android #diday

Dusty Game Society May game: King of Dragon Pass. PC CD-ROM from 1999. Clan management, diplomacy, magic, and random events that punish every decision. Perfect. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/dgs-may.html #gaming #retro #consoles

Moving away from streaming only means physical media. Being a millennial, of course it's vinyl. Needed a new turntable. With remote. Obviously. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/vinyl.html #music #personal

Subscription expired today. Had it since it launched. Didn't renew. OneDrive is not happy about it. Feels fine. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/microsoft365.html #privacy #diday

Already wrote about the GB Operator. Great device. Now Epilogue is doing the SN Operator. Available for pre-order, ships end of July. Can't wait. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/sn-operator.html #retro #hardware #consoles

Been reading about eXoDOS for a while. Finally took the time to set it up. Pretty painless. Now lives on the NAS. Works fine under Linux too. You have died of dysentery. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/exodos.html #retro #emulation #linux

Xteink X4 ebook reader. Tiny thing. Finally got around to loading epubs. CFW CrossPoint was dead easy to install and blows the stock OS out of the water. Small enough to stick to the back of a phone with MagSafe. Declaration of war on doomscrolling […] [Original post on rheinneckar.social]

Last fidget toy broke. Stress levels unacceptable. Replacement came from a Gashapon. Priorities intact. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/snes-gashapon.html #retro #personal

Since switching to Qobuz, offline music organization has become a thing again. Brutal time sink. Tags have to be perfect, of course. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/music-tagging.html #music #personal

Installed the Game Boy Pocket Famitsu shell kit. Everything else kept original. Old enough to not need a power LED. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/gbp-famitsu.html #retro #handhelds #hardware

Swapped the BlueRetro N64 receiver for an 8BitDo. Should work better with my 8BitDo N64 mod kit. Curious if the built-in memory pak is more reliable. Firmware update required first. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/8bitdo-n64.html #retro #consoles #hardware

Dusty Game Society April games: Animal Forest for N64 and as an April Fools joke Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for NES. Animal Forest was a disaster. Somehow ended up preferring Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/dgs-april.html #gaming #retro #consoles

Nextcloud update after a few months. CalDAV works great. Shared calendars, shared task lists, recurring events. Other providers seemed to struggle with this. On Android synced via DAVx5 to Etar and Tasks.org. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/nextcloud-caldav.html #privacy #diday #android

Picked up Star Wars Episode I Racer for N64. Wrote about it in my May the 4th post. Pure nostalgia, but realized I didn't actually own it. Had to fix that. Not a big collector. But some things just need to be on the shelf. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/sw-racer-n64.html #gaming #retro […]

Switched from OneDrive to Nextcloud a few months ago. Still don't fully trust the automatic photo upload. Probably unfounded. Running regular comparisons before pulling the plug on OneDrive for good. https://jotten.neocities.org/posts/nextcloud.html #privacy #diday
