Hoo-ray for cute'em'ups!

The salacious details of the Epstein Files have obscured the fact that they are also basically The Panama Papers II, revealing the sleazy economic machinations of the Epstein/Trump "unaccountable class".

Redherring32, in collaboration with Nick from Mousebitelabs, has just released OpenTendo-AGB: An open source recreation of the original AGB-CPU-01 Game Boy Advance motherboard. As with Redherring’s previous open source NES motherboard the OpenTendo, it’s completely open source, with this released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. So basically, anyone can use this to make replacement GBA motherboards, or fork the project to integrate other options.

Work like this, as well as other reverse-engineer-ers like Natalie is crucially important to preserve these consoles and handhelds. But of course, nerds like me always think about what else can be done with something like this! Imagine if someone integrated the also open source GBAHD into this board, for a fully functional handheld with zero-lag HDMI-out???

Regardless of the use case, I always appreciate work like this and will keep people posted if the project is forked or sold anywhere.

From GameWatch (machine translated -- couldn't find an English source for this one):

This book compiles shooters released for home video game consoles in the 1980s and 1990s. It offers a comprehensive overview of the history of shooters, from the Cassette Vision and Famicom to the PlayStation and Dreamcast. It introduces over 700 titles, including arcade ports of "Xevious" and "Gradius," as well as original home console titles like "Star Soldier" and "Thunder Force III." While focusing primarily on vertical and horizontal scrolling games, it also includes some of the most popular gun shooters, action shooters, and 3D shooters.
