Waiting for an iQue Player, doing some stupid preparation stuff.

Finally! External #MegaDuck Laptop HDMI based on #PicoDVI is working.
This is pulled directly from @remysharp.com pico-dmg-arcade as I'm currently unable to compile working code myself. Need to figure out how, to add audio support though 😁

I added audio support to GB mini (a Gameboy emulator for the Pokemon mini handheld running on my PM2040 flash cart).
The current version has two pre-compiled variants: one with native rumble support for games like Pokemon Pinball and one without.

I've spent the last two years developing firmware and software for a WS/WSC/PCv2 flash/development cartridge. Now, it has finally been announced and will be sold by 49bitcat in Germany. Sales start November 24th!

A first step towards horrible audio emulation for GB mini on the Pokemon mini handheld 😅

Next feature for the PM2040 flash cart for the Pokemon mini coming: Backup and restore of the handheld's internal EEPROM memory (used for gamesaves). The savefiles can be stored and restored to/from the flash cart. USB drive mode planned as well.

GB mini - Game Boy games on the Pokemon mini. The emulator is running on the PM2040 flash cart. As the PM has built-in rumble, GB rumble games (like Pokemon Pinball) use the PM's rumble. Save games supported as well. Next step audio emulation.

Pokemon Red running on a Pokemon mini 🙃

I played a bit more with the idea of using the RP2040 on the PM2040 flash cart to also fully run "games", whereas the Pokemon mini merely pulls framebuffer data and sends button states to the cart.
I created a small Pong-like game as a PoC.

Flex PCB seems to fit :), now waiting for the FFC connector.

Dead chuffed with this (2nd itteration, and delivered this morning). It's a Pokemon Mini flash cart. I didn't solve the PIO logic (though had planned, but was beaten to the punch), but I did do the design to fit an entire Rasberry Pico into the cartridge form factor, including the USB port.

To save some space, I made a vertical stand for the 3DO FZ-10 model. Mainly as a display stand, but I guess it also should be fine for units with an internal ODE.
Note: It sits on the AV expansion port, so that port is not accessible.

I played a bit more with the "2 in 1" firmware for my RP2040-based flash cart for the Pokemon mini and now added it to the GitHub repo. ROMs can be easily injected via an online tool into a base FW and then transferred via USB-C on the flash cart.
