After being on the lookout for quite a while, I managed to snag a Casio Loopy ❤️. Now let's gather components for a Floopy drive.
My side-project game•video (a video out adapter for the Tiger game•com) has reached a somewhat usable state :). Now playing the most glorious ports of Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil 2, Sonic or Duke Nukem 3D on the big screen is possible!
What could be better than playing high quality Tiger game•com games on a 65" screen via HDMI?

While Generic is hard at work shipping nileswans, I am spending my weekends working on new features - here's a sneak peek of one coming in swanshell 1.2.0.
If there's one thing the world needs - it's RGB modding a Tiger game•com.
Orban concedes. The world is done with right wing policies and the billionaire class who’ve spent decades convincing people they work. Even though they own the media, even though their ideas are considered defaults, even with the manufactured division. We’re winning www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...

SwancolorHD v2 prototype 1 is ready to go. Now „only“ software is pending 😅
Some progress on my iQue player card project. Small dummy files can make the whole catalogue fit on "one" card. The RP2040 on the card then notices when a dummy file is loaded, intercepts and replaces the dummy file with the corresponding real file from the SD card.
New 3D printed Virtual Boy wireless controller body. They're very very clean and assemble really well with the original screws. #virtualboy Also showing my custom body design.
#SwancolorHD V2 in the making. This version will include - a QSB for easy attachment to the mainboard. - embedded Bluetooth controller support - remote power-on/off Prototypes will be ordered in the coming weeks. @zwenergy.bsky.social @machonachomedia.bsky.social #wonderswan

I really enjoyed this video, a great overview on coding for these old consoles. Makes me want to release Pixel Pup for the Pokemon Mini. It's important I release it on all of Nintendo's obscure consoles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Mg...
Dynamic switching of "virtual iQue cards" from NAND images off an SD card works :). The middle part with NAND chip is being reflashed is sped up by ca. 10x. The first card image has some demo games (yellow square), whereas the second NAND image has only full games (red square).
I made a basic video player for Pokemon mini handhelds using PM2040-based flash carts. Video playback is 2b color + dithering, audio is 5b. Very limited, but fun 😅 github.com/zwenergy/PM-...
in case you were wondering why on earth i was doing this, perhaps this NEW VIDEO from planet clue will explain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_cc...
this forgotten 2006 game console only has SIX games

Yay, recovered a "dead" Gizmondo and cleaned up the gooey mess of the former "soft touch" surface, making the surface nice and shiney :)
Added a new functionality for PM2040 Pokemon mini flash carts (and derived ones): BIOS dumping. You can dump the BIOS of a Pokemon mini to the flash cart. When connecting the cart via USB, it can behave as a thumb drive and you can simply copy the BIOS. github.com/zwenergy/PM-...

How about watching some Pokemon on a Pokemon mini? (...audio still missing though.)
I added the little helper flex PCB of mine for easier wiring when DIY-ing a replacement cable for an iQue player out of an OG Xbox AV connector to its own GitHub repo. github.com/zwenergy/iQu...

Finally! External #MegaDuck Laptop HDMI based on #PicoDVI is working. This is pulled directly from @remysharp.com pico-dmg-arcade as I'm currently unable to compile working code myself. Need to figure out how, to add audio support though 😁
I added audio support to GB mini (a Gameboy emulator for the Pokemon mini handheld running on my PM2040 flash cart). The current version has two pre-compiled variants: one with native rumble support for games like Pokemon Pinball and one without.
