Several units have been built successfully; I am finalizing testing and will soon release it as #OSHW 😄

I've been posting about this for awhile on Twitter, but I'll expand news to bsky.
I am making a repro of the #SegaCD Model 1 Sony laser board, which people often damage while recapping since it's very fragile.
It is in the final stages of testing and will soon be released as #OSHW

The LCD Jewel project is still in the works, it is moving to a new MCU. The ESP32-P4 is a powerful video enabled MCU that is designed for multimedia, which is what I want the Jewel to do. Here is my first PCB Test, I am just waiting on the P4 to drop for mass manufacturing.
