Don't forget you can use the Skeleton Key launcher menu to quickly backup your EEPROM by just putting the IP shown on the bottom left of the menu into your browser.

Did you know the Japan exclusive game Thousand Land had DLC?

I didn't either until cheato of Alpha Archive found 5 of 18 previously unknown DLC maps just a few days ago.

These maps have been archived and are now available on Rocky5's URL Downloader.

Regular toggle switch board on my Block Buster Left test board.

The switch levers are plastic internally so they are prone to breaking with heavy use and during shipping.

Original DSK-1033 switches are pricy today, so this is an attractive option for people wanting a cheaper drop in replacement.

No-Contact gear shift test on my Block Buster Left test PCB.

In between dealing with the insanity overnight I've been prepping the newest batch of Steel Battalion replacement part and upgrade part orders.

Linked toggle switch board, standard and universal toggle switch board, no-contact gear shift and a Logitech pedals adapter.

You caught me.

My newest Steel Battalion replacement part toggle switch board is here!

This board fits the original switches, the modern replacements I use as well as several other random toggle switches.

This is the first Steel Battalion board I'll be releasing on github for users to make their own.

There is no straw man here.
LoveMHz lied, made malicious, and deceitful claims about myself and my work on OpenXHD.

They talk about taking accountability while taking none, talk about silence while silencing everyone.

This is posion to the entire retro gaming and modding community.

I'm not going to tell people what to believe then silence anyone who wishes to respond.

I responded to all of LoveMHz's lies more than enough times.

Please judge for yourself and interrogate me about anything you are concerned with.

I'm pretty late on this one to be honest (released the gerbers 6 months ago) though I am trying to catch up on the social media "obligations".

Xbox front panel trace fix kits. A pointless little project that a friend kept nagging me to get done:

Coming to github soon!

At the Hamilton Game Swap today!

Come hang out and play some retro games with gamers of all ages, or maybe find that last game you've been looking for!

I ran one more small batch of Skeleton Key flash drives and adapters.

I'll be handing these out tomorrow at the Hamilton Game Swap.

Have your own flash drive or mem unit? Grab the files and make your own Skeleton Key toolkit for free!

Wow! Such a versatile device. I use my EyeToy as an original Xbox webcam (yes really).

As for your pitch issue, i suspect it's a sample rate mismatch.

A huge number of people made this possible!

I'll be handing some Xbox compatible flash drives and adapters at Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend. If you find me in the crowd and like repairing OG Xboxes just ask for one!

I understand you guys like rare and obscure gaming periphals from old consoles.

Should I bring this to MGC for you gents to check out?
