This year's reminder to check any old devices with lithion batteries (especially if they've been stuck in storage).
These DS handhelds that have been stuck in boxes thankfully don't have swollen batteries.

One of my favourite title themes of yours, I've always had a thing for up-beat, lively songs.
I've liked it so much that I even used it as an inspiration for a bouncy kind of song I wrote years ago. :)

FF外失礼いたします。
今ファミコンデモを作って、可能であればこのイラストを入れてみたいです。
お手数ですが、使用しても大丈夫でしょうか?

Finally got the motivation to do more Keen covers (in tribute of Bobby Prince, R.I.P.), this time in a form of an oscilloscope video. youtube.com/watch?v=C0xafpzZ… #commanderkeen #chiptune #segamastersystem #tandy1000 #sn76489
Here's a tip for artists here that are applying for my gigs (assuming they're not bots):
If you deliberately miss the key points of how, what or
where to apply and go straight to the DMs, I will ignore your inquiry, period.
You will only be wasting the time of mines and yours.

Yes, not seeking permission is the common case with these kinds of bootleg goods (Speaking of which, I've sent you a DM on here regarding something similar, do you mind checking it if you have the time, or if there's a different method of contacting you? Thank you).
One thing that my main NES assembler, ASM6 lacked compared to other assemblers is a segment usage for how much data my ROM takes, so I wrote a bash script that does that. #gamedev
More Keen 6 covers for the SN76489 chip, this one I've put some time into as it's one of my favourites of the series, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. :) #commanderkeen #chiptune #furnace #segamastersystem #tandy1000
Link of the listing itself in case people think its a Photoshop or whatever: jaycar.com.au/outatime-flux-…
So I apparently found a joke listing for the flux capacitor while looking for multimeters on JayCar's website.
Another Keen 6 Master System cover quickie, adapting the song's drums and bass with the chip's quirk was a pain to do, so it might be butchered. :( #segamastersystem #commanderkeen #chiptune #furnace
I was able to preserve all my saves that still have good batteries and wrote a status report on it, a box that I can finally tick off and sigh in relief.
I might even have an incentive to go back and play them since I can now backup and restore save data.
I haven't tested out dumping GBA carts or any of the flashing portions, but in terms of what my intentions are with it, it does a good job. I wish it came with a USB-C cable though, I had to use one from my phone charger to connect it.
For years, I've been meaning to dump and preserve save data that are stored in those dreaded batteries since some of the games I had containing them started to die and needed to be re-soldered.
Today I've received this toy made by local Aussie "BennVenn" called the "Joey Jr.", it's a dumper for various #GameBoy platforms can dump or flash cartridge data, pictures from the Game Boy Camera and most importantly: Save RAM.
