If you want a random game this Saturday, I don't think anything is more random than my copy of the unreleased StarCraft Ghost on the original Xbox #xbox #starcraft #randomgamesaturday
The cool Hori Gameboy Player controller for the GameCube is also just a GameCube controller! The lack of analog stick makes it suboptimal (or even incompatible) with many 3D games but its fantastic for pretty much anything 2D! Like the original Zelda on the Collector's Edition disk! #nintendo #zelda
For #throwbackthursday I present the time I used a homemade cable to connect two Sega Genesis through controller port 2 so I could network them together and play multiplayer Zero Tolerance across two TVs #sega #diy
Since I have the Hori Super Gameboy Commander controller for my SNES, I figured I'd import their Gameboy Player equivalent! It feels REALLY GOOD to use, and also, in my typical manner I've done some shenanigans with it, so expect me to post more about this guy! #retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #hori
Random game Saturday: Soul Calibur! For the Sega Dreamcast! Played using the motion controls of the fishing controller! #retrogaming #sega
Building off yesterday's post, here's my custom 3DO! The modified lightbar on the front mimics the Red-Blue-Yellow colours of the 3DO logo! It has an ODE and a custom mini-DIN RGB-out that allows me to get more horizontal video (with a RetroTINK) making it nearly widescreen natively! #retrogaming
For #ThrowbackThuraday here's my heavily customised Sega Game Gear with enhanced screen, HDMI-out, USB-C power supply and 2-player support (for Master System games)! #retrogaming #sega #diy
I didn't realise it until someone pointed it out, but somehow my copy of Breath of the Wild is the UAE version? I don't know how that happened. But it plays fine in my Canadian WiiU #zelda #gamecollector #nintendo #WiiU
I'm late to the game on this one, but this weekend I made some time to play some Zquest games! If you don't know Zquest, think of it like an open-source Mario Maker, but for Zelda! Tons of great community-made games for it! It's really cool! #zelda #opensource #diy #gamedev
Pokemon Mini appreciation post! One of Nintendo's least-discussed platforms! The flash cart for it is called the "Ditto" cart, which is amazingly thematic! 😆 #randomgamesaturday #nintendo #retrogaming #pokemon
Working from home today and in between tasks I'm re-learning how to inject my own DS games into the WiiU Virtual Console so I can play my favourite DS games on my TV! #nintendo #DS #hack #diy #retrogaming
#throwbackthursday to me getting my GameCube to network with my Wii for one of my parties so we could do 8-player Mario Kart! #retrogaming #mariokart #nintendo #hack
I was playing some Vib-Ribbon last night, using my Jet Set Radio CD in the system! I'm a big fan of games that let me put different disks into my system, like Monster Rancher! Long live physical media 😉 #retrogaming #playstation #ps1 #sega
I'm not American, but yesterday I connected two of my PS1 consoles through Serial Link to play linked-up Independence Day on two of my TVs! It's the day the world declared in one voice we will not go quietly into the night! #retrogaming #july4th #ps1
I forgot to include the cartridge label I made for my fake "onlyfans" Game Boy cartridge! #art #selfie #diy #retrogaming #gameboy
I was playing the original Picross on my Super Famicom and the solution to this Picross puzzle is literally Picross itself. Picrossception. #retrogaming #nintendo #snes #sfc #picross
My yellow Gameboy Camera is the same shade and even texture as my yellow Famitsu model Gameboy Pocket and they look amazing together! #retrogaming #gameboy #nintendo
😅 I mean technically I can already launch it as-is on my Playdate with the Gameboy Emulator that was released on it...
I PROMISE IT'S SAFE FOR WORK - someone told me if I did an OnlyFans it would probably be some obscure, weird thing. So I made a proof-of-concept Game Boy version of how I would distribute my own 8-bit, cartridge-based thirst material! 😛 #diy #selfies #retrogaming #gameboy
Last week I posting about recapping stuff so much here's a trick I sometimes use to speed things up - write the board's capacitor number on the strip, so it's easy to remember what goes where! I've also been known to add oversized components to the underside of the board. Electronics repair is jazz!
After recapping my Sega Master System last week I picked up another title to play with on it my Sega "3-D" Glasses! ...I also replaced the capacitors on the 3-D glasses adaptor too... 😅 #retrogaming #sega #diy
A bit of a personal diversion from my usual Retrogaming posts, but yesterday officially marked 1 YEAR of exercising every day before work! I'm very proud of this achievement, and the huge difference it's made! 😁♥️ #selfie #proud #weightloss #fitness
My Sega Master System started to misbehave on me (mostly just the card slot wasn't getting proper power) so I spent an evening replacing all the capacitors and now it's good as new again! #retrogaming #diy #modding #selfie #retelrocollecting #sega
The joystick is bigger than the console! I plugged my TurboGrafx joystick into it's Japanese version, the PC Engine (to play some Air Zonk, why not?) and the controller is larger than the system! #retrogaming #turbografx #pcengine #bonk #airzonk
I put rollerblade wheels on my computer chair so I can do some sweet tricks as per my drawing... #art
