It's been a while since my last post in this thread, so here are some of my purchases during the last few months
View attachment 574103
First of all, I bought a few more games. I was hoping to buy a few more switch games, but prices for them still are very high. With the age of the switch I'd expect them to drop soonish as they stop production. Becuase of the prices, I only got one new switch game: LEGO Horizon Adventures. In addition to that, I got Minecraft Legends for XBOX One (way cheaper than the switch version) for my physical minecraft collection, my first PS3 game "Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (cheaper than Shadow of the Colossus for PS2 and probably better graphics), Pitfall for Wii and 2 DS games: playmobil pirates and the infamous puppy palace xd

I also got a few new movies: children of men as blu ray, dune and monster hunter as 3D versions (surprisingly there is no hint on the monster hunter package that it's the 3D version but it is) and quite a few 4k disks: last of us season 2, all 3 the hobbit movies, bullet train and the amazing spider-man (I also got the other live action spider-man movies on 4k that I didn't have yet).
For some reason the US has many more 4k releases compared to other countries, so I also had to import some of the 4k movies. Wall-E and Ne-Zha (the first one). I also imported the danny phantom complete series DVD box. It's really nice to have a physical representation of it as not that many children TV shows from my youth got physical releases (especially as the complete show). The DVD box is also a US import.
Cars 3 and Mulan (which appears to be missing on the picture) were imports from the UK. It's really sad to see that there are not more local 4k releases of the disney animated movies.

I also got a new disk drive... or technically I got 2 new disk drives. Both of them are "normal desktop PC" drives (this one in an external enclosure, the other one is in my PC). Both of them are ASUS drives that were manufactured by LG. These are really interesting because with Omnidrive (http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=OmniDrive) they can be used to copy almost all disc formats (some early console disks and HD-DVDs are the exception). They can copy DVD, BD, UHD, GC, Wii, Wii U, XBOX, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE, XBOX Series, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5 and probably more. All of the drives in the list can be flashed to omnidrive, but some have to be flashed to a "MK" firmware first to enable firmware downgrades.
However, not all of the formats can be decrypted yet. At the moment PS4, PS5, XBOX ONE and XBOX Series are only useful for archival purposes, not to actually play the game. I'm also not sure if you can play WIi U disc backups you made with the drive, but I tested all of the other platforms I listed and they work fine; including gamecube and wii games.
For movie disks, pioneer drives are a bit better because they have a better quality, but pioneer stopped manufacturing and the game discs can only be copied with the LG drives (or way older drives).

When it comes to flashcarts, I also got quite a few new ones. I got a DSpico by chisflash (with 2 replacement shells in different colors; these ones have injection molded shells while my previous ones only had 3D printed shells), a SuperChis Prime (FRAM variant), an Everdrive GBA Pro (it's the new variant with light and gyro sensors) and an everdrive GG clone.

When it comes to gaming peripherals, I got a Switch 2 pro controller and an allmiibo.

It's a "physical amiibo emulator", similar to n2 elite etc. But with a screen and rechargeable battery (might depend on the version tho). I haven't used it much for now.

A present for my nephews birthday, I was looking at the little buddy mario plushies but they were pretty expensive for like an 8" plush

By the way the hardware and the firmware are opensource. And not only emulate amiibo but almost any nfc card. Also emulate an amiibolink.

They're based off this project: https://github.com/solosky/pixl.js/

You can find it on AliExpress by searching "amiibo emulator". It'll come in the same formfactor but under a different name.

I bought last week this for my sister. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mssOMH1

If you will buy any. Try to choose a OLED one, the backlight version are a little hard to read

I finally treated myself to a GBS-C Pro and a good PS2 component cable, here's the kicker about the cable!

I was moaning that the cable had a yellow video cable, meaning it can do composite which is usually not good... Until I randomly tried hooking my PS1 with it, now of course component didn't work but, with the RGBs input however? I get the RGB signal from my PS1!

Worth trying if you have component cable with the composite video cable wired up, it could give you the C-Sync signal required to get an RGB output from a PS1!

They have two different kinds. Make sure to get the one with a rechargeable LiPo battery and not a CR2032 battery; it dies quickly. I have both kinds.

Anyway, my USB-C mod and the power switches I ordered for the DS Lite I was given came in today, and I installed them easily. However, the shell it was in was bad some really low-quality, clear blue, third-party shell. So, I'm probably going to order an extremeate shell for it, but I also need to order a small screw extractor because the screws that were used were like butter and are completely shredded.

Also ordered some more Gunpla again, even though I keep telling myself no more, but I keep finding kits that I really wanted and missed out on. The backlog is ever-growing.

Bought myself a new mic for my gaming PC. Spent about $50 for a decent one.

SonicEVERB01 · May 24, 2026

a nintendo wii player with custom mario sets.

emmanu888 · May 25, 2026

N64 S-Video cable. Until I can get my N64 modded with a Tim Worthington kit (My console is one of those that cannot have the simple RGB mod done to it), S-Video should allow me to get a better video output from the N64.

I've been wanting to get something like an R36S emulation handheld for a while because I'd like to play games on trips without needing the separate hardware. I'm a first-timer so I've spent the next few hours doing plenty of extensive research about them on "handhelds.wiki" and looking at YouTube videos for what it's like. Apparently there's been a ton of clones that don't perform as well; luckily I bought the one from BOYHOM since they are well respected and it's genuine.

It originally came with a China-branded microSD card with 64GB; it has several GBs of data corrupted, so I got out genuine microSD cards to opt for a 2-card setup (one for games and one for the OS).

With what it offers in terms of customization and support, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I wouldn't mind buying one of these, but I know I'd play with it for 5mins and then never touch it again.

I understand that. Most of the things you can do easily on a PC.

The things you find in Flea Market.
Pro Tip: If you go early, people will sell cheap. People over here has the habit of "crossing themselves" with the first coin that they receive, so they usually sell cheap because of that.

So I ended up ordering an Extremerate DS Lite shell/housing Glacier Blue (clear, very pale/light blue) mainly because I need to order a new digitizer for it. It works, but the touch is off by 1, maybe 2 cm. I tried to recalibrate it, but it just keeps looping.
