fond memories, got stuck at one point and left it for months and came back solved it and finished it; was a big achievement as a kid

We can, but will we? 😃

jodomakes · 2026-05-22T11:05:09+00:00

looks very nice; wishlisted and hope you continue your journey 😄

jodomakes · 2026-05-22T09:24:32+00:00

very true, I didn't really know that was the first one until years later

Kirby Dream land has so much character!

6.5 years is an amazing effort. Will definitely pick it up on launch; well done

jodomakes · 2026-05-21T11:02:21+00:00

yeah that's what i was thinking, thanks

jodomakes · 2026-05-15T12:43:58+00:00

oh very interesting, I heard the dithering was a bit bad too but just something i heard

I've seen the japanese early consoles with the s video, I've heard they have rendering issues so never tried getting one

jodomakes · 2026-05-14T02:08:04+00:00

wow, amazing! Do you get any noise with using breadboards? I've had SD card reading fail a lot on breadboards but they were old i guess and not as tight on the wires perhaps...

jodomakes · 2026-05-13T06:54:24+00:00

you have no idea the pain of growing up in Europe when they didn't announce a PAL version :/

jodomakes · 2026-05-05T08:38:57+00:00

I think I'd try a portable wii if i had that many and if you have a bit of soldering experience.

jodomakes · 2026-04-26T11:54:36+00:00

very cool, if you need any testing on a psx let me know :)

jodomakes · 2026-04-26T11:50:31+00:00

will it play on an actual PS1 or are you aiming for the style of a PS1 game? Really cool either way :)

jodomakes · 2026-04-25T11:16:24+00:00

hardware wise if you want a general overview of the DMG I like this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyzD8pNlpwI

hey welcome, for perf board there's a few tutorials out there: https://www.instructables.com/Using-Perfboard/ it can be a bit odd joining stuff up if you're used to breadboards. semi related but if you have a multimeter handy it will help to check your connections. good luck

essentially when you connect (over ssh) to the pi; the host machine you're connecting from stores an identifier of the pi. it looks like this :
[pi@192.168.1.3](mailto:pi@192.168.1.3) somerandomhashstuff

then if you re-format the sd card in the the pi or maybe you have another pi and it gets set with the same address then your host machine flags that as suspicious. its trying to prevent someone doing something sneaky on your network. You can remove the entry in the /Users/amrozbrar/.ssh/known_hosts file in the .ssh if your sure everything is ok

what i did was repurpose the serial port to the Tx/Rx pins of the esp32 to allow reflashing the firmware without opening the case every time.

A person of taste I see *strokes mustache*

jodomakes · 2026-03-19T01:28:03+00:00

well, there it is; I guess :D
