    I attended the Portland Retro Gaming Expo with modder SoCal Gameboy, and I got to see the Modretro M⁶⁴ in-person and played it.

    @lightwo the same dev (Robert) is making this N64 core too for Modretro, and he can finally flesh it out because the AMD FPGA used here is much more powerful. (He's also backporting any fixes and what-not to the MiSTer version, when he is able to, so that's cool.)

    The reviews from creators for the Analogue 3D are coming in now. Hopefully this should be shipping very soon.

    Been watching these all day, and I'm so happy mine has finally shipped. (Was supposed top be here 8 months ago, before all the tariff bullshit even began.)

    Saw SkyDxddy in concert last night, and it was incredible. She sang most of her new album, and a few of her older songs sprinkled in. Sat and talked to us on a personal level in between songs. Incredible human being with the biggest heart.

    (Sorry for the potato pic, I was zoomed in 10x because my seating sucked ass)

    I'm kind of upset that I can't just walk into a store and buy this game on cartridge. Only Asia and Europe get physical copies.

    That's what annoys me the most, is not getting a physical cartridge and forcing digital down our throats. I want the physical and not have my game taken away.

    By the way, note that Everybody's Golf requires FW 20 on Switch.

    I play online games, so I keep my system updated to the latest, always... As much as it hurts to do that to a hackable Erista unit.

    I've got not one, but TWO new items in my shop today! :yaysp:

    Shame that the shipping & taxes make your travel cases bit too dear to order from Europe. Wouldn't mind one for my SP otherwise (and your price point for the case itself, even with custom colours and other customisations is fair). Nice work!

    Yeah, Europeans usually have to order a few of them to make the shipping worth it. Sadly, I can only control the domestic shipping prices.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. ;_;
