Chibi Bruty! Not to be confused with Transformers Bruticus which it clearly isn't. Legally distinct design. Chibi Bruty. He cute-y.

I ordered two Super Nintendo disk copier devices from eBay: the SuperCom Pro.1 (a re-badged Super Magicom 3201) and a Bung Enterprises Game Doctor SF3.

The SF3 was cheap because it was untested; I discovered later after testing it that the floppy drive was dead, so I went ahead and ordered a new one, which hopefully should resolve the problem. That is why you will see a space for where a drive would go, it came with a drive, but I removed it. As I was taking it apart, though, I saw that the ground wire to the floppy power cable came off; it was soldered on crudely, so I took my time to remove the old solder and reflow the wire. It has 32 Mbit (or 8 MB) of RAM and supports DSP & HiROM games, so you can adapt SuperFX cartridges to play backups of SuperFX titles. I honestly like the operating system; it's got a variety of options and is more extended.

The SuperCom Pro.1 came with an external floppy drive and a parallel port cable. After writing a couple of disks with it, the drive works without a hitch. It is by TEAC and is over 3 decades old; I am surprised that it hasn't died yet. It comes with supposedly a hacked-up V3.1 BIOS/OS from the Super Magicom and has 16 Mbit (or 2 MB) of RAM. The only big downside with this unit, is that, it cannot play HiRom titles, not without modifying. This came out too late around 1992 because HiRom were becoming the norm of cartridge games. If you recognize the shell, it is similar to the Super Wild Card; this was around the time where CCL and Front FarEast were working on projects together.

Screens for both units in action:

My GBA SP shoulder buttons came today, and because I had to solder, I decided to finally install my USB-C mod on it (got it over a year ago). It came out well; I almost ripped a trace, but thankfully it was still attached. I also decided to replace the buttons with clear blue ones to match the shell.

Snapped up an OG GB with some games, hopefully they're genuine or at least most are. Got a good deal, nonetheless.

As a kid I hated Game Boy's screen as it was hard to see, but because it's Nintendo it retains its value.

Red and blue look real but yellow definitely isn't

I've finally decided to cave in, and order a genuine Mega Everdrive from Stone Age Gamer directly. I've had mixed opinions about the clones being better, but I found that it's worth noting that the quality kind-of varies (e.g. voltage differences), and because I don't want to end up damaging the Genesis I got because it's in perfect condition.

Don't have many games for it, only a few that I have (which are none but bad games) work absolutely fine regardless of the region. So I've been meaning to get a flashcart, and also install a region switchless mod.

Got a free bag of chips from a super bowl ad

Ordered a used Super EverDrive X5 for my SFC. I always make sure to clean game cartridges when I get them, and I'm glad I did, as there was some dirt on the contacts. Luckily, it came off without a hitch. Genuine board manufactured in Nov, 2018.

First time I owned a Krikzz flashcart that isn't a clone of sorts.

 

[Marc_LFD]

Pretty sweet deal I got.

Haven't tested any of it, but got my money's worth. Unfortunately, Pokémon Yellow is a repro although the others look genuine (I'll open them up).

Strange to see a Sony published game on a Nintendo console.

It shouldn't matter, the DSpico does about the same thing. The only difference, is that, the new one you had just shown has microUSB instead of the one you ordered which is USB-C for programming the RP2040. People would only buy the USB-C variant as those are the only type of USB cables they have (wished USB-C wasn't a standard, but here we are).

Thanks for the explanation, I had no see the difference.

Bought a case for the Switch 2 tablet and Joy-Cons and it feels easier to hold it as without it it'd just slip off my hand.

Just wish it was an OLED although I play it on the TV, anyway. Speaking of TV, I'm using a Mini Switch 2 Dock and it works same as the original.

 

[Silterpy]

Ordered a silicone bike chain guard for my e-bike and an electric precision screwdriver to replace the cheap, non-electric precision screwdriver set.

Oh, and I bought PowerWash Simulator 2 on PS5 last night. I played it a bit last night and was enjoying it, but I'm going to finish DQ7 first. I'm about 2/3 done, and I might try to platinum it, depending on how much I have left.

Also ordered some snaa model kits from temu.

I just printed the Arthur puzzle which is a trapped burr because one of the pieces is trapped on the cage

It is a «hard» puzzle, needs at least 90 movements to be solved.
