This looks really nice, might go for it if the price is right. NES games are cool and everything, but I think 16bit was the golden age of 2D. The hardware was powerful enough to realize ideas without much compromise, but limited enough that games had to stay focused and not jump the shark. Ugh...

Happy to hear you're in a good place man, congrats on your new career! New job sounds like an awesome workplace, too.

You're right! I just had to hold the power switch a little bit longer than when on batteries for it to boot, otherwise the blue LED would just flicker. Well that's a nice surprise :)

Check out this Caanoo deal from them http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAW4-jumiss-CAANOO-4GB-Nintendo-Arcade-Retro-emulation-Game-Console-Pack-/290944350705 :D

Ouch, I'd check on that forgotten battery ASAP, I left one in a bricked Wiz for a few years and it had burst by the time I checked on it. Granted it was unlabeled and from a prototype, so maybe it was of worse quality to begin with. It's really too bad the Wiz doesn't run off the charger without...

Thanks for linking to that thread, wiring a smaller different-sized battery is what I had in mind. With the advent of Adafruit and all the maker stuff, it got easy to find LiPo batteries that fit inside the Wiz case. I was wondering about the thermistor (T) pin though, it sounds like it's not a...

Hey there, Haven't used the Wiz much in the past couple of years, and now the battery lasts less than an hour. It's ok for now, but I'll have to find a replacement once it dies off completely. I don't have much experience in this area, does anyone have any tips or recommendations? The Wiz...

The menu launcher would be its own binary separate from GINGE, so we wouldn't have to butcher it at all :) This is all assuming that GINGE can be invoked with a config and GPE args, not sure if this is the case though - did you have to build custom GINGEs for each game? Would be crazy to make a...

Hey Hooka, what would you say about having a single menu entry for each pack, instead of one for each game? Running a pack.pnd would start a menu from which you select individual games. The menu app could read a config file bundled with the PND that lists all the games with screenshots and a...

Nice work, but I'd add some tabs and a few more comments to make it easier to follow :) So, what made you want to do this? I like software rasterization too, lots of fun and portable to everything under the sun, including GPU-less platforms like the old GP2X.

It's absurd how someone can trademark a common English word and then be able to keep others from using that same common word as part of their title. Words are such basic building blocks of language, I understand being able to protect two or more put together, but a single word on its own could...

That's too bad. I tried to run 1.18 with Wine too, but there are some known library problems. Good thing I installed from my old CDs last year and upgraded to 1.16, it sounds like there's no clean way to get it to run on Pandora any longer unless you already did it before 1.18 was released :(

Hey nopasaran, glad to see you're around too :) Lots of old faces still seem to be, man how time flies. Thanks for remembering Sqdef, I want to bring the source code back from the dead in time for a 10-year anniversary Pandora port this summer :D I picked up a GP2X F200 from eBay last year and...

This is great to see! Direct link: https://starcraft.com/en-us/ The original StarCraft is my favorite game and it had a huge influence on my life. Samwise Didier's concept art was an inspiration to get into visual arts, and later into computer programming so I could make my own games. Not to...

Billion-dollar companies drop support and shut down servers after only a few years, so while around here we assume that ED will keep the homebrew archives running (as he has for almost 15 years :gp32:), most of the world thinks and acts in a very different way :)

Tell me about it, you never know where you stand with those. Keeps me up at night, just like wearing out my Pandora's NAND. The whole shitty cables debacle really put me off USB-C though, coupled with half-baked devices that only implement partial features of the standard. It all feels like...

Nice, I remember talk of a Hardcore Homebrew mode back in the day... What kind of speedup are you seeing in DrSMS without Linux?

Nice one, thanks for the updated port and for taking the time to Pandorify it! I love Powder, a roguelike that makes sense on a small handheld screen :) By the way, is there a way to open the menu without touching the icon in the top-right corner? I wanted to quit without killing the game with...

I was supposed to get a Pandora as part of my GBAX 2007 prize, but that didn't happen... I bought a ReBirth in 2013 and use it every now and then, although according to System Info it still only has 20 charge cycles after over 3 years of use - hey, at this pace I'll probably never see the purple...

Sounds like a job for Python with the Pygame library, here are some links to get you started: http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/ http://www.pygame.org/wiki/tutorials https://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ Everything you need is probably preinstalled on the Pi, so you're ready to go :)
