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.

Mostly settled moving into my new home, but currently have no proper internet, so here's another Bobby Prince cover (this time from DOOM!) while I wait to get that taken care of. youtu.be/rArqxw7v2vw #doom #chiptune #nes #famicom #2a03

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

@shigu107 Found this Lucario poster at a local marketplace, didn't you drew this? (This marketplace is kinda known for selling bootleg goods, including AI slop)

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

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.

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.

"Haha, I'm in danger!" (For the fahrenheit folks out there: 45C = 113F)

The movement pad is still a little too sensitive when holding up and left, but otherwise it works pretty decently when testing a couple games onto it. (Blank case on the bottom right is Wonder Boy)

I've rinsed the shell with some warm water and dried it with a bristle toothpick, then gently applied a bit of methylated spirits to the PCB and rubbed it with paper as advised from the members of SMSPower. (Pics of the shell and PCB after cleaning them)

The PCB and shell was quite filthy when I've took it apart, the 1 button in particular looks scratched on the PCB which might explain why it wasn't working.
