past few weeks of online silence have been filled with #cycling, #gardening and lots of #sbcgaming! (re)discovered a huge amount of retro games

I have been playing some more #Castlevania #AriaOfSorrow and yep. This is awesome. I really like this location I just got to, the clock tower! Lots of moving mechanisms.

Updating my #Anbernic RG35XXSP to #muOS Pixie!

#WIP #RetroHandhelds #SBCGaming

I returned to #Castlevania #AriaOfSorrow because @jefklak scolded me for having the Dominus Collection and not even have completed this one first. Kinda fun so far!

But I need to get the double jump...

Investigating the Retroid Pocket Mini's Display

Another in the long line of well obsolete tech I adore is my love of the #SEGA #Dreamcast VMU cards.

The tech and hardware community being what it is managed some time back to hack them into proper #HandheldGaming machines and each time I search them I find more being done with them!

It isn't easy, but they look amazing - and I'm sure far more dependable than most #SBCGaming handhelds.

#RetroGaming on legit retro devices? Yes plz. Also the #design is pure magic to me (𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵)

A transparent blue visual memory unit (VMU) from a Dreamcast - it has had a screen put in and reused / repurposed as a handheld console. It shows Toy Story 2 title screen on the color screen

A stock gray visual memory unit (VMU) from a Dreamcast - it has had a screen put in and reused / repurposed as a handheld console. It shows Sonic 3 title screen on the color screen

I have less than zero practical use for one of these #PlayStation memory cards, but that doesn't stop me being utterly head-over-heels with them from a hardware #design POV. I want them all!

There's that beautiful transparent plastic from the 1990s that my generation can't seem to build without it fracturing or snapping quickly (looking at you, #SBCgaming handhelds!)

And just look at the colors! The PCB inside!

Ugh, total #nostalgia for a era of #gaming I wasn't even alive for!
