    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    Damn, nice reply FoTan! It's a shame the e-reader never really went anywhere. Even in Japan where it got a lot more support I still feel like Nintendo only touched the surface. I hope to change that.

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    Hey everyone. Just a quick update. I plan to print cards in about 2-3 weeks. From there I am hoping to have them on sale by July. July might not happen as a lot of things need to come together, but that is my goal. I'm very confident they will at least release this year :) If you are interested...

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    What's up everyone? I thought I'd post a tiny little update. The cards are coming along great. I'd estimate they are about 80% there. I've also secured a manufacturer and have been working with them on creating the final cards. This is still work in progress, but this is roughly what the cards...

    Yeah I've always liked this little thing. Here's a video of one of the cards, a little fortune teller toy

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    The US e-reader and JPN e-reader+ are very similar, but there are some differences. Mostly in the backgrounds and sprites that are on the e-reader itself. I've started gathering the differences here https://www.retrodotcards.com/tools/sprite-diff...

    E-reader Japanese Pokémon minigames

    That is because neflmake/neflaashmaker doesn't support the Japanese encoding. But yeah it will still work just fine like you said. Oh nice in that python script, that is good to know. Just yesterday I started the task of modernizing these tools. Eventually I should have a website where you...

    E-reader Japanese Pokémon minigames

    It depends on the card. A card has a flag in it that says if it's savable or not. The simpler cards that are only one or two strips, often don't have that flag set. 1735003690 Anyway, I see RetroTrainer only has one post and this is an old thread, so they might not come back. But to convert...

    E-reader Japanese Pokémon minigames

    I can probably help. I just whipped up a quick script that converted from raw to sav. I tested it on 'Pokemon-e TCG - Skyridge - Haunter (USA) (Long Strip).raw' and it works. Trouble is I know basically nothing about Pokemon. Can you give me the name of an example Japanese raw card you want to...

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    E-Reader games can be made in three ways Native GBA games. After the data is read from the card, the GBA runs them just like a cartridge. You get full access to the hardware and the best performance. The disadvantage is they tend to be larger and so end up needing more cards/swipes. NES games...

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    Thanks! That's a nice compliment. I always felt Nintendo could have done more with it. I never imagined 20 years later I'd try to fill that gap myself, but here we are :)

    I'm making new games for the E-Reader

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty new around here. I've taken on a project of creating new E-Reader cards, so I thought I'd start a thread as a few people have shown some interest. It all started with making Solitaire (thread in user submitted news on that here) And from there I've been plugging away...
