I just want to put this out into the universe.
If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

I just published the first release of my @circuitpython.org Z Machine emulator for the @adafruit.com Fruit Jam. It can run #Zork and other version 3 #zmachine games. Works with Fruit Jam OS too. Download the release here:

I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

I should have also mentioned PICO-8 in this post. I made it with PICO-8! Frankly this was one of the most rewarding development experiences for me. PICO-8 is such a joy, I'm already conspiring to do more. Anyway play Star Captain 32767 and/or hire me cuz I need a job

Excellent work by @frenskefrens.bsky.social getting this NES emulator working beautifully on @adafruit.com Fruit Jam. DVI video out over HDMI, USB and I2C controller support, SD card for rom storage, I2S audio out, and even a scanline overlay mode!

Frustrated with lack of a visual diff for KiCad PCBs in git, I made a simple shell script that does 90% of what I want. Here's a demo of it in action. Now I can "git diff" my PCBs!

Second CircuitPython Sonic Pillar is working. Home skillet @johnpark.bsky.social recommended the directional fading. A third on the way & I need a housing & diffusion. The second “mid tone” shows some LED static. I’d think this was a power issue but it’s has 10A supply so shouldn’t be an issue.

Lets see if you can add other NVME storage to the Switch 2.
I made some Micro SD Express adapters, one for M.2 and one for sniffing traffic.
If it works out might do a Flex PCB adapter later on to add external SSD storage to the Switch 2 while docked.
