The Switch 2 adapter to use Switch 1 Joy-Cons arrived today, but annoyingly I can't use the Hori Split Pad controllers because it has that stupid notch on the top. Great, Hori.

GB Pro+ Rev. H - It has the added IGR (in-game reset) button on-top. These are clones based on the EverDrive-GB V1; it does not have real-time clock, which is fine, but it means that I cannot play the 2nd-gen Pokemon titles. Works fine with every other one that I tested, however.
I chose the Adventure Island label as I used to have a similar one back in 2020 from the same manufacturer before I sold it. This revision has no differences with the other carts; they all use the same Altera MAX-II CPLD for the processor.
MIG Flash - AliExpress has these MIG clones for sale, and for 50 bucks, you can buy a MIG Flash, which either has or doesn't have a microSD filled to the brim with a bunch of illegitimate ROMs. I refuse to pay the extra 70 bucks for the dumper, however, as it's too expensive, and almost all of them have disappeared off the earth so it's nearly hard to find nowadays.
Whoever sent this to me clearly packaged the cartridge with the packaging artwork facing the other side, likely so customs didn't know what they were shipping. The cartridge has no label on the front either; I suppose somebody out there would buy these in bulk to label it something like "R4 Switch SDXC Dual-Core 20XX"—something along those lines, but the hype is already dead. I can make my own to accommodate this. Aside from that, I'll likely use this on a Switch Lite or something that would not get my Switch 2 banned, regardless if it was offline.

Ordered a cap kit for my Game Gear and a Flash Gear flashcart for it. Unfortunately, my GG is a VA5 and I can't find any screen replacements, so now I'm off hunting for a VA1 for a decent price.
Due to my concerns over price rises and getting 20% off, I got:
1) Switch 2 MKW bundle
2) Donkey Kond Bonanza (the one switch game I'm really looking forward to)
3) Case
4) Screen protector
5) Mario Bros. Wonder
6) Metroid Prime 4
7) Pokemon ZA (Arceus was OOS)
8) Kirby and the Forgotten Land
9) Super Mario Party Jamboree
10 A cheap controller for my dad to use (my mum already has one)
Not sure if I'd keep all these games though as I mostly picked them up on a whim.
Didn't bother with the Pro 2 controller as I have a Pro 1.

Evri can be mixed from different places. I've never had a single lost parcel from them, but their reputation hasn't always been as kind considering their past. On the bright side, I'm glad you finally got the SuperChis.

This will be replacing the TL866II+ programmer to where the socket is becoming unreliable from time-and-time again. The T48 is meant to replace the previous model. Was a bit concerned about the tracking info as it never updated once I bought it, probably because it dropshipped all the way from Spain.
