https://gizmodo.com/nintendos-new-game-watch-hacked-a-day-before-its-offi-1845664049I'm liking that they are using a joy-con battery to power it, as for storage, I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to just swap out the SPI chip for a slightly bigger one (granted your still pretty limited with it being an spi chip) but as long as the system is capable accepting a larger chip (I wouldn't imagine they didn't bother putting any hardware checks or anything in place) I would imagine you could make up a little 20 in 1 game system for novelties sake, but I guess the limited storage makes the system less appealing to people looking for a little emulation system, hopefully people figure out how to interface with it via usb and can reprogram it whenever they want to swap out games, would make it at least a little bit more useful, but overall its going to be limited to a novelty item rather than a fairly useful little device like the snes/nes mini consoles ended up being useful as a emulator box
based on stacksmashing’s explorations it doesn’t appear as if the USB-C port on the new Game & Watch is connected to the CPU or anything other than power wires. It seems it’s for charging the internal battery only, which means that anyone wanting to swap out the pre-loaded ROM files, or completely replace the firmware, is going to need to open up their device and use custom hardware to re-flash it.
but he sayed on twitter only this:
Didn’t solder a thing - but also didn’t use USB couple of test clips were enough. Need to check whether USB actually goes to the CPU, didn’t look like it does
can be a bad news i dont now if this site has more infos about
