I made the gamecube joycons we all wish existed. This isn't concept art, these are real and fully functional.

The KillMii is finished! It's a fully functional Wii portable inside an actual Altoids tin. It runs hot, has a 10 minute battery life, and awful controls, but it's a real Wii inside (not an emulator.) It's the worst thing ever.

An entire, real PlayStation 2 on a modular PVM card. By far the most requested (and sophisticated) "thing on a pvm card" yet.
Cards that are currently complete or mostly complete:
- HDMI/DVI/VGA input
- Buffered video output
- USB C dock / video input
- OTA digital TV tuner (ATCS)
- PS Vita TV
- Raspberry Pi 4 8gb
- Intel N100 (x86-64) Windows 11 PC
- Google TV + Chromecast
-Wii

USB C and the Lighting connectors are both deep holes, and those are waterproof. My galaxy S5 and S8 were both water resistant, despite having headphone jacks.
The excuses they make are untrue. Wireless headphones have huge margins, and don't last, so big recurring revenue.

They work wirelessly and all that stuff. They are real 1st party joycons on the inside, so they have full functionality. Only thing they don't have is the IR camera

The Xbox 360 is probably the most versatile console out there in terms of output resolution options. It supports 11 resolutions through HDMI/DVI (not including 480i) including options for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios.

-12gb DDR5
-512GB NVME ssd
-x3 USB 3 A ports
-Full sized HDMI video out
-3.5mm audio jack
-Active cooling
Video output card. Buffers whatever the active video signal is within the monitor, and spits exactly the same signal out through VGA or BNC connectors. Effectively adds video output for all my cards. Whatever is being sent to the monitor down the card slot gets spit out

This is LCD propaganda. A real CRT would not only have survived the fall, but obliterated both the dummy and the floor. They don't make em like they used to.

I think the idea of getting a "good deal" at a retro gaming convention is basically dead. Vendors just price everything based on ebay/price charting. Anything priced under market value is usually just scooped up before the doors open by other vendors to flip at their own booth.

Kamp made GameCube Joycons better than I did. He took my original GameCube Joycons, improved them, and made them 3d Printable. He's a brilliant and cool dude. Go follow him.
Seeing the recently released wavebird-joycon style controller made me want to share an in-progress project that I’ve been working on for a while now: 3D Printed Gamecube Joycons that have almost every feature included in original Joycons!

Found an old picture of a portable melee rig I built back in 2015. Entire thing ran off a single 12VDC jack, so could run it off wall adapter, car power, or even a (12v or 14.8v) battery pack. Was much better to play on than you'd expect, given the size.

He's right tho. Bungie hasn't made a good (or even playable) Halo game since 2010. This is just my opinion, but I feel like they just gave up on Halo after Reach, and aren't even trying to make Halo games anymore.

They bully and strongarm any community project they don't like out of existence, even when they are legal, because they know communities are too small to fight back. Sony vs Bleem set the precedent that emulators like Yuzu are legal. But the law doesnt matter when you're Nintendo
