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 😁

Lets get some Game Boy homebrew included on there
I just want to put this out into the universe.
If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

I've updated my Mega Duck ROM patch on itch for Nocptern to note that the source ROM is now **pay what you want**. 🎉
Cool #shmup for the Game Boy. Hope this means some more people enjoy the game on the #MegaDuck too :)

Checking compatibility. #GBBoy Seal of Approval earned. Even though their clocks run fast the game stays in sync due to how it uses the 4 Player adapter.
Q: Is that older GBBoy Colour with a very scratched screen actually a color console?
A: No! They just changed light grey to red!

My IPS mod for the #MegaDuck Super Junior Computer finally got a frame to hold the GBP Q5 display.
It also locks against the adapter PCB and creates a good tight fit ^^
Now I need to find a nice way to access the OSD without the capacitive-pads (inconvenient)

Now #SNES mouse works on #GameBoy Color, Pocket, SGB2, etc with Clock-out inverted. Some FPGA clones don't, though Analogue Pocket is ok.
The Hyperkin SNES mouse works too, with 1 byte offset. Movement is not as nice as Nintendo's, but useful since it's still being made.

Know of *built-in* cheat/secret codes for *homebrew or indie* games on retro consoles?
Send them my way. (mainly #gameboy, #nes, #gba for starters)
Made a thing to catalog them. Lets try this and see what happens. (not covering game genie/shark type codes)
