Those boxes are not as cute they barely even have eyeballs :colbert:

Real life water just wouldn't be the same.

Haha that's awesome. I'd like to see pictures when you mount the pcb and screen on the cartridge too!

Also when you inevitably hit up the game shop to buy cartridges in bulk and the cashier asks what you are going to do with all of them, I like to request that you give him a startled 1000 yard stare and then mumble like crazy to yourself while avoiding further eye contact until you leave the store. Thanks in advance.

Good point... I hadn't considered thaf, nevermind then!

Cool stream though. I'll have to check it out after work.

On the bright side, I did get that Christmas present that I've been wanting for the past few years:



Dr. hendersa! :science:

Fukken sweet. Now I wanna a PhD diploma too! But I don't want to work on groundbreaking research for 4-6+ years with little pay. That's too much work for me. :(

Holy crap, you're the X11 explained guy? You were on hacker news a few months ago. Sweet.

I made a small Angular app to let people disassemble Intel 8080 CPU binaries online...

I'm not sure how this would be useful to anyone, but it's letting me learn Angular and about emulators at the same time. v:shobon:v

I've been working on this thing from a couple months ago when the Switch shortage was in full swing and I suddenly wanted to be able to play old video games while lying down. I bought a Raspberry Pi and now I'm trying to turn it into a portable gaming device:



It started with just a tiny 1.8" LCD screen:



Then I moved on to speakers:

Here I'm putting in a simple LM386 amp circuit I found on the internet.


The screen and speakers working. This was before I dropped in an I2S stereo decoder.

Here's a short video with the sound. The stereo decoder (I was using PWM output directly from the raspberry pi before) is leagues ahead in clarity and volume. It's hard to hear in this video though..

And last week I made a controller using an arduino pro micro and some crappy push switches. It connects to the raspberry pi through USB.

Here's the whole thing in action so far. Needs better buttons, thumbsticks, and a battery. After that it's time to put it on a single PCB. And then after that I'll need to get myself a 3d printer I guess.

Yeah it probably would be easier. I tried going to modular and "semantic" route because if I went directly into the GPIO I'd have to use a driver to bind the buttons to keystrokes. I figured that it would be simpler at the user end if I could just get my buttons recognized as one gamepad. That's turning out to be not entirely true, so basically I'm just using this as an excuse to over engineer everything :shobon:

RGC doesn't provide anyone to record the panel sessions. There isn't any rule against recording them, as long as you get the consent of everyone attending the panel. I'd have to supply my own camera and find someone to do the actual recording for me.

Oh I see. That sounds like a huge ordeal. Don't worry about it! I'm not in the area but that sounds like a very cool talk. Good luck!
