Here are 3 ways to play your favorite old games without giving your money to a fascist:

  1. Get an emulation-based handheld. Companies like Anbernic have gotten good at this actually! https://anbernic.com
  2. Mod authentic hardware. FunnyPlaying’s parts are reliably high quality. https://funnyplaying.com
  3. Get an FPGA-based handheld. The premium option is the hard-to-get Analogue Pocket. (FunnyPlaying makes one too)

It took them a very long time, but Limited Run finally got both the regular Game Boy as well as the newly done Game Boy Color version of Trip World to me.

Built a gameboy camera printer for someone, I'm kinda jelly because it's better then the one I built myself. Used a vape battery a esp8266 together with a Tp4056 charge board. When connected to a gameboy you can tell the camera to print to the esp8266, when reset it turns into a WiFi hot-spot so you can download the photos to your phone. This is the firmware that I flashed to the esp8266 #esp8266 #gameboy #3dprinting #gameboyCamera https://github.com/HerrZatacke/wifi-gbp-emulator/blob/master/beginner_setup_guide.md

Having grown up as became a “thing”, I splurged on one of the many handhelds for me and my son. He’s an avid gamer of the generation.

Impressed by this little device, the Miyoo Mini+, which can be had for $60 to $80. Emulators for a bunch of handhelds and consoles. There are more powerful / larger options and plenty of software mods you can do.

Now my son wants us to start a YT channel and “review” old games as if they just launched. 🙄

N-Force 2 - August 1992 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.

The magazine has an extra cover that wraps around to add the postcards on the back, so I've included the inside cover here as well as they look a ton nicer.

Little light blocker for the Game Boy Camera!

One problem with the original camera is that vias on the back of the sensor PCB were so large, that light shown through and caused some light distortions. Made a little model to cover as much of the back of the sensor PCB as possible to stop light from leaking in. Makes a notable difference.

Free model available in the link 👇

https://www.printables.com/model/723614-game-boy-camera-light-blocker

An image of the sensor PCB held up against the light. Text describes “light leaking through vias directly behind the sensor”
The light blocker behind the sensor PCBs with text stating, “light blocked behind vias”.
A pair of photos output from the Game Boy Camera. The left says “without blocker” and shows a lower contrast and fewer details due to light leaks. The right says “with blocker” and shows richer detail and more contrast.

I haven't got a CV. I haven't had one for a decade or more. I'm trying to pull one together swiftly for an application and... huh... I forgot about some of the cool stuff I've been involved with.
No bragsies, just expressing my surprise, and making a note-to-self to reminisce more 🙂

I'll probs post some project links shortly.

Circuit Breaker was a public domain Color game I made in Z80. Pretty basic, but playing to the strengths of the platform and acheivable for me in time for a competition.

You control a cursor running around a loop and have to lap the chaser before you get lapped. Up, down, left, right, A or B.
There are some wild cards ('any direction' and 'A or B') which, interestingly enough slow me down. Choice paralysis!

Thanks to folks who archive stuff, it's playable here: https://hh.gbdev.io/game/circuit-breaker

Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖

I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.

The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗

The magazine continues with an article about the Street Fighter II Game Boy port. 📖
Never played this game as a kid, not even on other platforms. The only fighting game I experienced back in the days was Tekken 3 on PS1. 🤼‍♂️

To compensate here I luckily can point you out to the short video about the Street Fighter II Game Boy port I published on Mastodon recently: https://mastodon.social/@repeatro/112111097342727745
