This video neatly summarizes why I think the #retrogaminghandheld space is so special right now youtu.be/Icoluo2hH5k?si=LTgQQM

Anyway, I am off to play some Minish Cap. I’ve gotten much farther than last time I mentioned it!

Last night’s 3D print: a grip for my (@lucy’s?) ODROID-GO Advance! I dusted off the little handheld retro gaming console, flashed a new OS, fixed the joystick, and have been playing it a lot—but the form factor is not the most comfortable.

Thanks to the 3D printing community, I have a (beautiful!) fix. 😁🎮💖

Back side of a 3D printed controller grip, which looks like the back half of a standard console controller like from an Xbox or PlayStation. It's sparkly pink and easily rests in the palm of my hand.Front view of the same controller grip, which features a big open rectangle in the middle where a handheld console would go. I'm holding it in my left hand, similar to how I would grip when playing.Bottom view of the controller grip with the ODROID-GO Advance placed in it. The grip is very thin, barely visible supporting the back of the handheld console. The contours of the back of the controller grip are more visible from this perspective.Front view of the controller grip with the ODROID-GO Advance installed. I'm holding it in my left hand, similar to how I would hold when playing. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is on screen.

In the process of moving for the first time in 14 years.

No time to play video games.

I did, however, receive a #RetroGamingHandheld in the mail today!

Got the #BatleXP G350 for $35 USD.

Back from a short and very hot roadtrip to Arizona for my wife's birthday.
I didn't have a lot of free time but managed to get ArkOS installed on the #Anbernic #RG503 I got right before leaving town and test it out.

The stock firmware experience of this thing was awful and even after getting #ArkOS set up I haven't been able to get anything but PS1 & PSP games to load for some reason.

The main draw for me to get this #RetroGamingHandheld was the #OLED display, and this is what it looks like...

RG503 booting up into ArkOS. What should be a completely black background is gray with what looks like many black splotches and scratches.

I bought the #Anbernic #RG503 on a whim last night.

I know about its shortcomings but it runs Linux, has an OLED display, and a better chip than the 40XXH I just returned.

I got it from Amazon for 135 USD after tax, which is a bit more than twice what I paid for the 40XXH, but $80 less than the price of the upcoming #Retroid Pocket Mini.

I may very well end up returning it but I wanted something interesting to take on a trip I'm going on this weekend.

New blog post, a discussion of themes and a review of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, recently re-released with the Dominus Collection.

Screenshot from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. Soma is standing in the middle of a wide square room with a left and right exit. The floor and ceiling are made of red sandstone and dirt while the back wall features a large impressionist image of a lone tree in a field swaying in the wind to the left. On the left and right side by the walls, some distance from the tree, are two giant bald heads with stripes on the forehead and open mouths with serrated teeth. The field has large strands of pale grey blue grass, while the sky and tree in the distance is burnt red.

Como la vuelta de las vacaciones se estaba haciendo pesada, he comprado una consolita de emulación pequeña y discreta para evitar el doomscrolling y demás venenos del alma. Ha sido un acierto y la llevo encima 24/7

Mario Kart 7 released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2011.

The Switch sequel is often touted as the best of the series, especially with its DLC expanding the number of courses considerably, however playing Mario Kart 7 with the 3D screen is a truly wondrous thing.

Featuring land, sea and air there is plenty of variety available for each course and a silky smooth framerate as per usual.

A little project I've been wanting to do for *ages*. Getting #GameboyAdvance games working on a #TexasInstruments #TiNspire #Calculator. They look brilliant; tomorrow I shall go through my ROM collection and load it up 😄

Okay, this is what I do. It's not fancy or professional in any way. It's shoddy and completely unscripted. I speak off the top of my head and don't know what I'm going to say till I say it. But I do 'mostly' know what I'm talking about, having years of experience with these things. So... here you go ...
