    Are all of the boards like this, or are these bad boards with fun artwork? It is it like a Willy Wonka thing where one of the boards is a golden ticket? :D

     

    All the ones I sent Rev a couple of weeks ago to PRGE have the drawings. However, there's only a few that have the "not a narwhal" or "upset shark" or "happy shark" or "not Pac-Man" - those ones are there because I'm more of a drafter than an artist. ;)

     

    There is only one blue foreground wagon on the Oregon Bound boards - the remainder default to black.

    There's one or maybe two Ultimate Pong boards that say "square ball", although I tried to make sure they were all square and not round.

     

    Other games I've sent him (or to others) have sometimes had pictures (depending on how much time I had), or just text (or nothing for the ones to David H, because he was selling them loose, and I thought it best to leave that up to his judgement).

    I see a lot of speculation about how Analogue will market future products. Howzabout we not get ahead of ourselves, enjoy this one *for what it is* and if there are some yummy extras, that's great, too? It's 4 months away. Let's not pre-emptively nerd-rage against it for what it *might not* be.

     

    Sounds good, but for me, when the "Core Store"TM opens, that will be when I buy this product. I don't need a $190 SNES, but a high quality system that plays all or most of my favorite games for under $200 is something I would buy.

    Because it's crowdfunded. Because it's a PI. Because it reeks of other systems that have come and gone, some of whom were even portable.

    This just has to stop.

     

    I get the crowdfunding, and to some degree the Pi, but obviously there's plenty of room in the portable Pi space for a number of projects (that some will enjoy playing even after they people who have made them have "come and gone").

    I'm looking at the backing levels and one little bit disturbs me, no battery. Also pretty hefty cost to get the battery lacking full setup that's ready to go. I like the idea in principle but looks like at such a tiny size it would be more crampy than a famicom mini controller or a gb micro which people tend to groan over.

     

    They're probably scared of mailing batteries, although I think that's mostly unjustified. It's definitely tending towards the DIY end of the spectrum, which works for me. I'm in for 3 nearly full units for $150 CAN (Platinum level). I'll probably sell one or two, unless the kids want them.

     

    The size is definitely pretty small. The acrylic case would be 2 7/8" x 3 3/4", it looks like.

    I saw this a couple of days ago. The Game Boy Zero: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sparky/gameboy-zero-handheld-edition/description

    Basically it's a Raspberry Pi Zero with a 2.8" screen, and switches in Gameboy layout (plus extras), all on a single PCB. Case would be layered acrylic or one of your own making. It's all open source, so if you don't want to buy in now, you could find a way to make one or more yourself, later.

     

    There's a few things I would have done differently, but overall, this looks well designed. I like the single PCB solution. There's probably a dozen (or maybe many more) similar projects out there, so there's probably room to be fussy on which one, if any, you would choose.

     

    This is on Kickstarter - Proceed at your own risk!

     

    Feel free to discuss this project, or similar projects...

    Do you know how the checksum is calculated? it would be great to trick it into playing some games without flickering.

     

    I don't know about the FB2, but for the ColecoVision and Intellivision Flashbacks, the checksum is just the addition of all the bytes (in the active area).

    Finally got around to putting my cart back together (thanks Toby!) but can't remember which side is "up" when putting the board back in, anyone have any pics or know which way is which?

     

    Parts on the board are toward the front of the shell; parts on the board are facing up when inserted into the console.

    what firmware do you need to play Boxxle on the ultimate sd? i just get a black screen using the following firmware

     

    Hardware 20141104

    Boot 20150207

    Menu 20141102

    Firmware 20141102

     

    i attempted to contact Steve and requested the latest firmware but he doesn't get back very fast or never gets back to you unfortunately :(

     

    I think the only two options at this point are the original cartridge or emulation with CoolCV.
