Team Rebug Announces plans for a SwitchMe external dongle

On the heels of their massive success on pre-orders for their SwitchMe internal dev board, plans are in works for a dongle:

Team Rebug has been overwhelmed with the support they have been getting for the pre-order launch of their SwitchMe internal dev board, as such they have just recently announced plans on their Twitter for an upcoming SwitchMe external dongle, which they are calling an Xecuter SX PRO on steroids. :)
So we decided to make a dongle as well, but with a battery and some break out pads for future development. This way you wont have a problem needing to recharge your injector ever few days or caps going bad making your tx sx dongle useless :D

Pre-Launch Product Features:
  • Male usb C, female micro usb on the bottom, and a cr2032 coin cell on the bottom.
  • 3d print one, because tooling a case takes too much time and you need a huge order to even make it worth while.
  • Coretex m0+
  • Battery
  • On/Off switch
  • 2 USB ports
  • Easy drag and drop payload flashing
@evilsperm is saying they are about a month away from launching the 'dongle' version, but so far its looking great, and with the massive support and quality they are putting into the internal version that will be landing with resellers in few weeks, we can't wait to see how amazing their dongle version will be, plus they are saying it will be 'cost priced' affordable like their internal dev board is. :)

I'd buy one. My main concern with the TX Pro dongle is that the caps die and then I'm screwed while out and about because my phone doesn't support payload launching and I don't always have a computer with me. Plus, replaceable CR2032 battery!

Hell, I paid $40 just for TX's dongle. (No interest in the OS at all.) I'd pay about the same for this one too.

I'm looking forward to this esspecially if it's going to be much cheaper than the SX Pro since that costs $80 to get in my country, I know you can use a phone which I have been using but there is a convienience to having something small just plug in and work without needing to get cables out.

It's basically an all-in-one trinket m0 + lilypad coincell holder + usb-c adapter. I made myself one of these on the cheap and works flawlessly.

This has the added advantage of not having to carry extra adapter cables (in my case micro-usb -> usb-C) and of course, the build quality and sturdiness of a factory made PCB.
Might be a great option for the ones that are unable to get affordable trinkets or lack the soldering skills or equipment.

The info is there on the post. This is my home-made dongle based on a Trinket m0 + Lilypadpad CR2032. It's a trivial build. Just connect trinket's BAT pin to Lilypad's +, GND to - and you're good to go. There are a couple of mirrors with the trinket m0 payload implmentation for both Hekate and SX OS variants. Pick your poison or compile the code yourself.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
