Sega Master System and Game Gear Plug-in adapter

As previously reported, Matthias and myself have been working on a Master System and Game Gear plug-in adapter.

I am very pleased to now say that we have a fully working adapter, which (I think) will go into production at some point later in the year.

You can read all about how it came to be over at my site: Part one – Initial idea and Part two – Final testing.

Retrode on Linux/PS3/Dockstar

Yes, world, it works on PS3 also! Hunter Davis of HunterDavis.com tested the Retrode 2 on various devices including PS3 and Android 4.0! His blog illustrates how you can use an original SNES Controller and Cartridge with your PC, PS3, or Dockstar.

HunterDavis.com additionally reports that the Retrode works fine on a stock PS3, as the PS3 auto-maps usb controllers to PS3 controllers internally (the usb#->ps3 controller # mapping can be changed in the menu as well), so even the PS3 menus themselves work with SNES controllers.

Edit, Matthias_H: Please join me in welcoming Felix to the retrode.org editing team! Felix has supported the Retrode project since its earliest days, and contributed a lot of hands-on help, as well as essential hardware for testing. He was the first to show the Retrode in action on a Wii in Homebrew mode.

Christmas, yet again?

Here we see a box of production Retrode mainboards that I just set up and tested. Funny how the green circuit boards and the pink bubble wrap add to the christmasy mood of this shot ;-) According to the person who did the CNC machining, the cases should be delivered on Thursday or Friday, if the weather permits. Preordered Retrodes would then be shipped early next week. If you didn’t preorder but are still interested, check back regularly (or subscribe to the newsletter) for the new online store.

Need I say more?
