Please drop some links for the soldering irons y’all use, mine is apparently lost in my parent’s attic, and thinking of, probably too large for console modding....
It came out around my birthday, so my mom had it pre-ordered for me as a gift from Babbage’s. I still remember her picking me up from school and telling me she had a surprise for me in the trunk.
I feel as if I’ve been hanging out at the arse-end of the 80s a lot recently, comparing ports on computers that had no business running them. I’ve long suspected that if you want to see 8-bit micros at their best, you’re better served hanging around in 1986 rather than 1989. Things were so much more achievable back then…...
Modern power module to replace the old rusty one, cleaned edge connector, fixed cracks in the case, new coat of paint, and metallic stickers.
Based on disassembly of the PC DOS version, this port runs on PC, Mac and Linux and features many enhancements such as quick saving and the ability to mod the game including level design.
Commando (released as Senjō no Ōkami in Japan, Wolf of the Battlefield) is a 1985 Capcom arcade shooter. Word to the wise: Commando isn’t based on the Schwarzenegger movie of the same name - that’s some false knowledge I’ve carried round with me for close to forty years… oh, how I’ve embarrassed myself at dinner...
I helped for the battles and reading the dialogues but he did all the exploring by himself. He’s so thrilled, but also sad it’s over. Now I’m hesitant between Pokemon FireRed (he loves Pokemon but that a lot more text to read) or PaperMario TTYD (but we don’t have a switch for the remaster version). Any other ideas for...
I don have a large budget so it will take me a while todo much. I don’t have my soldering iron back yet either....

Played this game back back in the early 2000s era. I wish they made games like this again. Combat was a bit clunky but the music, story line, and voice acting were fantastic. Obviously left an impression nearly 20 years later.
Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you’ve never played this game, you’ll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!
Just made all retroachievemens in this game in hardcode mode (without save states). Probably the easiest NES game with the easiest achievement set....

Since my vita can’t emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?
The Open Source Cartridge Reader is a great diy project for dumping your own roms and saves. If you order a kit with the surface mount components already installed, it’s also a great beginner soldering project.
87 keys, volume knob, hot-swappable PCB, Dual Super Buttons (two massive programmable A and B buttons) and it looks amazing.
