This is crazy inspirational. V1 is incredible.

Do you have any front-runners for battery management systems? I've seen a couple of really nice Adafruit all-in-one boards. Usually I'd DIY my own boards but batteries scare me a little bit.

I've been having lots of fun watching you mess with all the little systems of a real portable machine.

Hmm interesting 🤔

Perhaps then you will enjoy me trying to learn how to solder properly. I realized that a lot of inscrutable issues I ran into with the controls probably had to do with improper solder connections.

Don't look at me. My drag-soldered ColecoVisions always have like a few hours of me trying to figure out which joint I underfilled.

Whoa cool. I'm assuming you're refurbishing old game consoles? That sounds fun.

I made a bootleg clone ColecoVision and Sega SG-1000 using some public schematics. Next up is maybe a clone of Galaxian (a common pirate board, dozens of games are based on it) or the Sanyo PHC-25.

Alibaba is such a mess. Once I got some guy who was so frustrated with my tiny quantity that he just shipped me the old-rear end PSRAM I wanted wrapped in cling film for free.
