Just posting here that LGPT is running well on Bittboy Pocket and Bittboy Pocket GO. The Pocket Go is a pretty nice handheld, the build quality is better than all the other current emulator handhelds. The only downside is a 30hz screen so it's pretty bad for gaming. But for LGPT, it's absolutely perfect.

If there's interest, I could buy some Pocket Go's and offer them on my store preflashed with CFW and ready to go. Otherwise, they're available most places for about $40.

My favorite park was the fact that someone brought their son and allowed him to play Sanoc on the Nintendo. Too bad the tvs kept glitching out, hope he still had a good time!

Yeah it's good! I haven't plaid Bloodstained yet but I want to.

If you haven't already, check out Savaged Regime. He does pretty impressive covers into Genesis of songs (including Castlevania games).

These are good: https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/ … lash-cart/

He'll flash it for you too, but if you want to reflash later you'll need his flasher: https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gbxcart-rw/

You'll be able to backup and restore saves with any old flasher though, if you already have one laying around. The good thing is these should use a lot less power than the EMS (or even Drag n' Derp) carts so your Gameboy won't overheat and crash (I swear I've observed this happening at every show I've gone to).

Apparently EMS is discontinuing the 64 USB cart, not sure if they're going to replace it with something else.

Other than that the offerings from Krikzz and BennVenn are okay but SD based which I don't care for as much.

Let me know how it is! The form factor looks not great (I'd prefer the rs-97) but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

What's the advantage of retrofw over useless? I haven't kept up!

I don't think these devices can do usb host stuff so it wouldn't be possible. Devs over on discord would be able to answer. Honestly the mod is SO CLOSE to working, testing is just super slow.

TRS for now. Don't know if that's possible, but will try to include both.

Feel free to email me, I can help you with some TRS to DIN adapters!

Hey oliver, are you using the standard TRS midi standard (korg) or the Artura/Novation variant? This looks super awesome!

Is there another place to grab a compatible build of Piggy following the release of the new RetroFW firmware?

No, I'd ask a dev to recompile for you.

The X series can do the full 128k save, so yeah it's in tact. No need for dupe roms.

Can confirm it works on Everdrive X3. LSDJ does NOT work on the original Everdrive GB (no longer sold to my knowledge. I would recommend getting the x5 or x7 for LSDJ though, x3 makes you click a button after you save to actually write the save file. If you forget to do that after saving, you will lose your save. I think x7 only adds RTC support that we don't care about for LSDJ. Looks like the x5 is the sweet spot for LSDJ.

This is Sega Genesis but maybe it counts:

I actually don't provide good support for this product. This is sold as a diy kit and I make it as clear as I possibly can on the page that I don't provide support for it. Most of that is because I can't really support other people's soldering skills, so I recommend if people aren't moderately experienced they should get a teensyboy which is fully assembled and tested.

One major issue here is you're not using the right code. Get the right code from the product page, that will eliminate the constant mode switching.

The Gameboy color will provide power through the link port so you don't need to power it through USB (in fact you shouldn't). It's not unheard of for the Gameboy to brown out when you initially plug the arduinoboy in, so I'd have it connected before you turn the Gameboy on.

I'd guess fixing all the stuff I mentioned will fix this. Specifically:
Flash the correct code (link on the product page)
Don't plug in the USB when it's connected to the Gameboy

If that's doesn't work then it's probably bad soldering, so double check all your joints for cold joints or bridging.
