Finished Dark Forces Remastered, very fun SW games in spite of various labyrinth-ish levels. I guess I'll start OG System Shock 1 next but not sure the Steam Deck can handle it.

Finally done with all the classic Doom! Doom 64 really has great levels, the new lighting is a bit crude but definitely adds a lot of atmosphere. But I'm not a fan of the new pseudo 3D monster sprite nor the new gun animation. The unmaker pretty much renders the plasma and BFG useless.

Finally got through all the games in Doom + Doom II, Legacy of Rust got great and challenging maps, Vassago is a great new enemy but I didn't care much for the others. Incinerator and calamity blade are great too but the calamity is maybe too easy to use for the power, the BFG was more balanced.

On a 2nd look, I do see a LE beacon when it's in pairing mode. Likely usable then.

Unfortunately at first look the SW2 controllers do not appear to be standard BT devices. Not sure yet if this is only at the pairing protocol level or at the RF level as well. Follow this thread on Github, I will update it as I go github.com/darthcloud/B...

After much reflection, I have decided not to produce any further batches of the BRX adapter. It's not worth the hassle in the current context. I will still be providing firmware updates, with one coming by the end of May! Thanks to everyone who bought one last year!

I basically test all of these devices with BlueRetro every release. And that's mostly what donations are used for, getting more!

1-Wire RGB LED on ESP32 UART at 4,000,000 baud with 12 bytes frame (2bits per symbol), More convenient than using RMT IMHO

I'm postponing BRX batch 2 again, targeting June for pre order now. I want to use DDP this time around and got to wait for the US to finally make up their mind about what their tariff is going to be.

Added programming header onto the panel edge. That was a lot more than I though 😅
