Well that was quite the sight to behold. (At VCF SW in Dallas)

The amazing Sony KX-45ED1 in the flesh.

Fun first day at VCF in Dallas. Lots of people showed up and stopped by. Looking forward to seeing more faces this weekend.

I'll be there all day tomorrow (Saturday), as well as Sunday afternoon. Hope to have someone to keep the TV running while I'm absent Sunday morning!

Thanks to the efforts of the DFW retro computing community, I will be showcasing the mythical KX-45ED1 at Vintage Computer SouthWest in Dallas this weekend. Hope to see you there!

if switch 2 is so good, how come there's no switch 3?

Such a shame Nintendo doesn't support backwards compatibility with the best Switch accessory

Someone at Nintendo saw the scalpers and was like "yo what if we did that"

It's still crazy to me that nobody has developed a GBA e-reader "flash cart" style ROM hack of the e-reader ROM where you can pop up a menu to select from a list of "cards" on your SD card to have the e-reader "scan". Would make lots of obscure content way more accessible.

Tonight I attempted a method to add fake scanlines to lumadoub using only i2c commands to try to turn the DACs on and off every line.

Nope, not gonna happen. It's just not fast enough. Guess I'll have to explore other methods that involve additional components.

These 2 chips together will likely cost a comparable amount to the 1981
