No, I don’t know what the point of buying this was.

Printed using hatchbox wood pla. I had a few issues with standoffs but a little glue fix those right up. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. Just waiting on the release of flippy drive to call it complete....

Picked up a BoxyPixel GBA SP and managed to find an original copy of Emerald to compensate for the ones someone stole from me so many years ago

I love this little device. The solid feeling of the metal casing and the little screen feels good for retro gaming. It has me playing a lot more retro games than I would have ever played otherwise.

Gameboy Tetris wasn’t the first Tetris I played (that was Mirrorsoft Tetris on the ZX Spectrum, with its spooky AY theme music), but it is the Tetris I always go back to....

I also added a rechargeable usb c battery, so far it is already lasting 2x longer thanks when I used AA (6 hours in, with a single charge, and medium brightness +...

Sabertooth Z170s w/ GTX 970 SpinTrack Arcade USB Spinner kit 3 inch Arcade Game LED trackball *More pics of internals if requested. No big deal, but certainly a nice to have.

Recently grabbed this for PS1. Thought it was pretty awful at first but still playing it an hour later and I’m pretty hooked. Its super hard though! Not much discussion online so I wanted to see if anyone else has played it and maybe has some advice....

These are flashcarts. 3 MBC1, 1 MBC3, and 1 MBC30
