    Just got an email from ModRetro, and the M64 will apparently be $199.99 USD.

    Maybe, but I'm just glad they're not only undercutting the Analogue 3D, but they took a not-so-subtle jab at them too stating "black and white is boring" which means they'll likely have colorful systems to release. That excites me more than price.

    I just want to see the console. Not likely to buy as I'm happy with my N64, but who knows? I wasn't going to get a Steam Deck either...

    We can at least see the shape and layout of the system and it's controller here, but it looks like they might have stacked the controller ports vertically, because there's no way we'd only get 2 controller ports like that.

    v2.3.0-stable of my Game Boy Color Test Cartridge has been released!

    This new version contains a quickboot menu. Hold down a button when powering on the Game Boy to enter a specific test quickly!

    Is your birthday next month? I'm asking because your signature.

    No, it was last month. My signature is just Lain's release date.

    When I tried to redeem my gold coins on my Tomb Raider trilogy cart and my Beyond Good and Evil cart, this strange error message occurs. It's the "yet" part I'm confused about, as I've tried many times over the past 2 months.

    The following quote from Nintendo's statement regarding earning My Nintendo gold points is honestly very silly.

    "Points can only be earned for physical games within one year of the game’s original release date, and physical versions of games released after March 24, 2025 will not qualify for Gold Points."

    These games both came out a couple months ago, so they're well-within the year time frame. I thought maybe I was trying to redeem them too early or something, but now that it's past the end of March, it's still giving me the same error message. That's weird to me.

    Maybe it's only redeemable for software titles lead by selected publishers is my guess. 🤷‍♂️

    I think a new revision is in order, one that can hold 3 extra AA batteries. Should be an easy edit to do.

    What do you mean? It just takes standard AA batteries. There's a rechargeable battery in the works for it that will charge it via USB C soon called the Power Core. I'll buy it when it's out.

    ok. I just don't know that system.

    It's the Modretro Chromatic, and it's incredible. The latest update to the firmware made it so we can game stream directly to Discord (Or OBS) over USB C. And the Cartridge Clinic lets us update our ModRetro cartridges with the latest game updates.

    Everyone’s getting lainpilled profile pictures lately! I never knew so many people here liked Lain.

    I've been a fan since it first aired in Japan, but internet was hard for me to some by back then... My obsession with Lain had... limitations. ;_;

    New storage box dropping later this month.

    It's by far my most-requested system to make one for, so here it is: The AGB-001 Game Boy Advance.

    It holds the AGB-001 system itself, 10 GBA carts under the system, has 2 slots for GB/C carts (or 2 more GBA carts, I don't judge), side storage for link cables or earbuds, and a spot for 2 extra AA batteries.

    Tag me when it goes live, I'll order one and do a review or something (assuming it's not priced too far off your GBC case?). Would be nice to have a good place to store my GBA.

    So a week and a half ago, I found out AliExpress was selling bootleg copies of my Game Boy Test Cartridge, so I ordered one out of curiosity. The quality of the shell and PCB are great. The label sucks though.

    @JuanMena Sadly there is very little that you can do about it, especially when it comes to software carts. This is one of the reasons why I'm not more open about a project I'm working on

    @Jayro youre a kind guy honestly. some people would not react well at all to this. however, it is the inevitability of things being out on the internet sadly. On the plus side today i learned you made a test cart. i may build me my own gb cart and try your software out. thanks

    Be my guest. :)

    It has link cable testing, GB printer testing, rumble motor testing, etc. lots of good stuff.
