Current bits I am working on
Posted 2 years ago
Thought I would make a quick list of things that I am currently fiddling with.
Retrode
This is an amazing device that allows you to play your SNES and Mega Drive cartridges on your PC/Mac/Wii/Anything that can run SNES/Mega Drive roms from a USB device. Still not quite sure how Matthias has managed it, but he has just shipped his first lot of pre-orders out, not bad for a self financed project.
I have already added the joypad ports for USB SNES pad usage, but I have lots more planned for it.

Super Game Boy
I bought a flashcart for the original Game Boy a while ago and purchased myself a copy of LSDJ with the intention of having a go at making some chiptunes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to whip up anything worth listening to, but it gave me an idea for a hardware mod involving the Super Game Boy and a four player adapter.
Super Wild Card DX2
I have a few SNES consoles, PAL, NTSC and one with lockout chip and 50/60Hz switches. My SWCDX2 came with an NTSC lockout chip in it but I wanted the option of using it on any of the consoles so I came up with an idea for a region switch on it.
I will get round to writing about them in more detail at some point, hopefully not too far away.
