I'm not aware of any that are kept reliability in stock. You can get new sticks, gears and bowls (plastic ones that will have the same problem over time, but much cheaper). I would get new sticks to go with these bowls. https://store.kitsch-bent.com/products/n64-joystick-thumbstick

Ninten-drawer is a modern sliding replacement tray for the NES. It is more reliable than the cheap replacement 72 pin connector and doesn't have a death grip on the cartridge. https://youtu.be/4lpCNMxGW3s

N64 controller stick modules work by spinning rotary encoders as the stick moves. The stick is and the bowl (typo in title haha) that keeps it in place are made of plastic. Overtime, both the stick and the bowl wear down and get loose. Using a steal bowl with a new stick keeps the original feel with much less grinding.

 

Big news for N64 fans.

I get this is supposed to be a joke but why is it funny?

I like to take one step further and use a white pencil eraser followed by IPA. Helps get more of the dirt and oxidation off.

It's doubtful any other cores will be present on the 3d, they have posted that it will not support openFPGA.

Or someone looking to buy their first. The user experience (menu wise) on the 4k line is so much nicer than the 5x in my opinion.

 

The CE is a lower power version of what is now called the 4k Pro. It is priced at $475, which puts it more in direct competition with the morph paired with a analogue bridge (I think that bundle would be $350ish). RetroRGB has a nice break down of the differences (link in the article).

No NFC, actually reading a file off the floppy drive

 

I've made a python server script that can send serial commands to a connected usb serial device. I use this to control my retrotink 4k using a raspberrypi zero w, but it is generic enough that you could control other devices. In the readme, it shows how to setup a restful command.

This is Luigi Mangione's xray, showing his back pain issue.

Tech support brain completely missed that one lol

The post definitely has a photo.

 

I backed the Kickstarter and have to say it's well worth the wait. The plastic feels like an OEM shell.

What are the odds he even pays out?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Depends but a nice condition N64 with the cables and expansion pak is probably about $100 without a controller. If you plan on connecting it to a modern TV, you need a decent scaler that can do Svideo/composite, so another $60 for the RAD2X. You even can complicate it more by throwing in cheaper RGB mods if you have a compatible system but that adds probably around $60 if you can't do it yourself.

Their price point is very competitive, especially considering its plug and play.

It was probably a disk copier. Here is a video that goes over how those work. https://youtu.be/MP9YR4BXrzA?si=VTgIynQI2fjaXjxE

 

Code and hardware for the project can be found here https://github.com/v1605/tapto-floppy

 

The SGB CPU is compatible with the DMG. By swapping the CPU, your Gameboy will skip the falling Nintendo animation. This decreases the boot speed.

 

What's everyone playing? I'm enjoying Mr. Driller for the GBC.

Thought I would show this off here too.

 

These are flashcarts. 3 MBC1, 1 MBC3, and 1 MBC30

 

I happen to have a board from my FunnyPlaying build so I figured I'd give it a shot. Used enamel wire to make the button contacts and got 3.3v from the cart slot. I also removed the caps as to not power any circuits that didn't need (CPU and RAM were donors to the other board). Power is provided via AA batteries.

 

Still very much a work in progress but it works reasonably well (about 8ms of lag). I want to ultimately create an easier to install PCB rather than the perfboard I used.
