I actually run all my Wii ISOs from the USB port using this:
Some of you will recognise thats actually an Xbox 360 Hard Drive!
But don't worry - it's just the 360 HDD.
Inside the chassis is actually the HDD that came with my PS3! 😅
My Wii uses parts from all its contemporaries!

Every time I see the original Punch-Out arcade cabinet I wonder why Nintendo never ported it to the DS since it's already a Dual Screen game.
Anyways, the community did what Nintendon't, and this morning I installed it on my DS!

An unexpected benefit of Perfect Dark being decompiled for PC is that the code optimizations for it can be BACKPORTED to the N64!
Last night I played one of the most hardware intensive N64 games at 60fps on real hardware!!
Right now the patch is only available on their discord

Reminder: F-Zero AX (arcade version of Gamecube's F-Zero GX) was found on the GameCube disk and extracted to a standalone ISO to play the arcade version on a modded GameCube or on emulator!

Many know about the e-reader levels for Super Mario Advance 4 (Mario Bros 3), but not many know the e-reader could add options to the base game (throwable veggies from Mario 2, the cape from Mario World) because it was never dumped.

In case you haven't heard, one of my most anticipated English Translations has been released
Samurai Shodown RPG!
It's Neo Geo CD but I confirmed it won't run on Neo Geo CD SD Loader and can't be converted to Dreamcast like the rest of the library.
So emulate or burn it to disk

Did you know - before the GBA could connect to the GameCube, with the right cable you could connect your Dreamcast to a NeoGeo Pocket Color?
You can unlock characters, art, share your high scores, etc.

Even though the Ouya servers were shut down almost a decade ago, if you still have yours, with a little know-how you can redirect it to the community-run archive to keep it alive and still download apps and play games!
In fact people are even still releasing games for it!

Last night, using a homemade cable, I was able to network two Sega Genesis together!
A system with no integrated networking capability, LAN'd just using controller port 2! 🤩
The game is Zero Tolerance, and I knew it could do this but never seen it!

Ever seen an Game Gear with USB-C and HDMI?
I finally got my Game Gear off of Battery Power and put in USB-C charging.
Then I had to double check that the video-out through the homebrew HDMI solution still worked and it does!
It's now a perfect Game Gear 😌

I attached the modem to the Pippin's GeoPort then ran the phone line from that to the Dreamcast modem I built (DreamPi, using a Pi Zero W) to bridge dial-up with my modern network, and against all odds and for no practical reason - I've gotten my 1996 Apple Pippin back online!!

Also, because
@Cubearr

My real reason for getting a 2nd GBA link cable:
A recent discovery found that if you connect the 2 purple "player 1" ends together and use the 2 grey "player 2" ends in each system the GBA can do multiplayer of original Game Boy (and GBC) games.
With a standard GBA link you cant

With a short extension cable I can have my Analogue Pocket docked for HDMI-out while leaving the link port on the bottom exposed, which allows me to connect it to my Super Gameboy 2 in my SNES so I can do classic Game Boy multiplayer on multiple TVs!

Woke up with a weird urge to play F-Zero on my OG GameBoy
I wanted the feel of classic dot matrix mixed with future-racing
The problem? F-Zero was never released on that platform!

It's got difficulty switches and a toggle for 16:9 or 6:4.
Also I was told they're hoping to provide updates through the USB-C power port, which suggests we'll be able to softmod this unit, which is very intriguing...!

This SNES actual belonged to my Grandma who had it just to play Zelda.

Ultima: Runes of Virtue for the Game Boy wasn't a port or demake, but a game made from the gound-up for the Game Boy platform.
