What would you bring to an adult show and tell?

I don't necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.
I'd probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.
I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.
I've since moved on to the RG405M.
What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?
Would love to see photos as well
I built one of those Ben Eater 8 bit breadboard computers, which I'm pretty proud of.
How would you rate your jumper wire neatness compared with his?
An attempt was certainly made to keep it tidy.
Wow I thought you meant the 6502 computer, but it looks like that's the original one made of logic gates and shift registers, right?
Yep, that's the one! I 100% want to give the 6502 a shot too, would be fun to run something more complex than a Fibonacci Sequence on it, haha.
Is a copy of Ben Eaters or did you do your own thing?
I largely followed along with his build, but tried to rearrange everything to be more compact.
I also had to make some changes to get it to work, since there are actually a few well-known issues with the way it's done in the videos.
I have plans to hook it up to a Raspberry Pi Pico, and set up a webserver so people can control it online. Could be a fun mod for sure.
Very cool!
I was recently at a maker space that had thousands of unused ICs and thought this would be an excellent project. I couldn't really interest anyone else. They wanted to just keep hording the things away.
