Today I found Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards via this article from Hackaday: Quake In 276 KB Of RAM.
The code is on GitHub and there’s a YouTube video with a high-level explanation.
My friend sent me this:
It pretty much forced me to write spiral.php and spiral.sh to generate this:

This looks like it’s gonna be seriously excellent!
I found this kickass resource: Super Nintendo Development Wiki. See for instance Schematics, Ports, and Pinouts.
One of my YouTube viewers Max donated some stuff to the channel today. How cool is that!? Expect to see some Nintendo awesomeness in the near future. <3
This evening I fell into a gameboy rabbit hole:
In another life I would buy and play all of these: STAR WARS™ Complete Collection. But in this life I just don’t have the time.

Silly Job Title: Power Provider
It’s the In The Lab With Jay Jay Halloween Special! This evening: another unboxing video! This time we’re taking a look at my retro gaming console: The Mini Classic Game Console. Complete with 620 odd games!
I picked this thing up at Vinnies (the thrift store) for fifteen Aussie buckaroos.
The main circuit board looks like this:
I found the S71PL256NC0HFW5U2 which is a 64Mb flash memory. The details of the other circuitry was obscured.
Here is the list of games on this thing:
And this is the manual:
I managed to get this thing wired through an AV to HDMI adapter, then a HDMI to USB adapter, so in the last half of the video you can see me demoing a few of the games and scrolling through the full list of games.
Oh, and in this video I read “NTSL” on the manual and say “they got that wrong, it’s NTSA”, but *I* got that wrong, and it’s “NTSC”. The American video standard. In Australia almost everything is PAL.
Thanks very much for watching! And please remember to hit like and subscribe! :)

Let’s go shopping!
I read somewhere recently about EarthBound which is apparently a classic computer game. But I don’t recall ever having played it and I wasn’t able to find it on Steam.
Update: oh, I heard about it in The AI Revolution is Rotten to the Core
I was at the thrift store the other day and I found this retro gaming system for AU$15 (US$10). Haven’t had a play with it yet, I’m saving it for when I have some time to do the unboxing. And I didn’t want to do that until I had my new HDMI recording setup installed, but that’s done now, so I AM READY BABY.
This looks like fun: protohackers.com. If I had more time I would definitely do this. If… :P
