The other benefit of having a Flash Cart for my SNES despite owning a large SNES library is being able to play MSU-1 hacked games on real hardware!
If you're not familiar, that's when the audio is replaced in a SNES ROM with cd-quality soundtracks - have a listen!

I'm pretty happy with my physical SNES library, but this new Flash Cart is letting me play some English Translated games on real hardware that I never got to experience in this way!

I'm trying some (English Translated) Racing Lagoon on my PS1! It's pretty cool on its own but my favourite feature is that it supports the PocketStation which u can use for trading car parts with IRL friends!

I dug out an old jacket of mine that still has my medals on it from when I fought in the console wars of the 90s - and in it's pocket it still had my old GameWorks arcade card!

In Japan Nintendo released these official SNES flash carts that you would take to kiosks to download games onto, putting a sticker over the numbers on the label.
It was called a "Nintendo Power" cartridge but not related to the magazine from North America.
Mine's actually an FXPak Pro inside though!

I've posted before about using my homemade Zero Tolerance link cable to connect two Sega Genesises for multiplayer, but for some reason I didn't think of linking my Nomad to a Genesis using the cable!
So I did that this weekend! This is such a cool idea and a fun for multiplayer!

Back on my Playstation with my mouse, Quake 2 gets WASD right using the D-pad!
It's such a wacky control style with Controller + Mouse, but it's also cool!

I tried to take a pic of all the hardware I have that can play GBA carts, and I knew I'd miss some - so here's an updated pic!

Here's another game I just played with two linked Playstations, Final Doom!
You can hear me clicking because I was playing with the PlayStation mouse!
This feels weird but also awesome

My Master System copy of Altered Beast has this sticker on it - this was a slogan Sega used VERY BRIEFLY before pivoting to "Genesis Does".
I found this scan of a pamphlet that used the same slogan.
It's neat that I have this relic from such a brief period!

Wanted to have some fun with my Playstation Mouse last night, put in Final Doom!
In this case you'd think the D-pad would be WASD, but actually left and right turn you (like the mouse does), and you have to hold the right mouse button down, and then left and right become strafe.

Speaking of Evercade and my proclivity for plugging things into other things - the Evercade VS controllers are USB and make PERFECT controllers on a PC to play PICO-8 or UFO50 or any throwback software, really!
