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?

If they do, are they competitive? Or are they doing the same thing. It could also be like car dealerships in certain states, you're not allowed to just open one within x miles of another (though that refers to more of the same brand). Wouldn't surprise me if they can't have dealerships near each other due to backwards legislation.

Exactly why John Deer should not be allowed to do this. Any threat to the food supply should be considered a national security risk.

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

 

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

 

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.

 

This was my attempt to create a a SNES to Bluetooth adapter. It works but the average latency was 18.35ms, which I think is too much to be considered a good controller.

 

With exception of the Mister, all consoles have either been modded or repaired. Bonus, everything is automated through Home Assistant so it will turn on the TV, switch inputs, and turn on the console, all via voiced controlled.
