![]() ![]() Both will be compatible with the same cartridge boards.īoth layouts will be accompanied by laser-cut acrylic shells, held on by nylon standoffs and screws. Some benefits of this will be that 1) programming is easy (vs programming a flash chip), as it will be like any other Arduino and 2) there will be less wear on the program flash than with a flash chip + bootloader combo and 3) No boot loading time 4) pure joy and nostalgia.Ĭurrently I’m looking at using one of the nice large 2.42” OLEDs like this one, but we’ll see.Īnother thing I’m excited about is that I think I’ll make a couple of styles for the main board: DMG style vertical/traditional, and another GBA horizontal. It will essentially be a Pro Micro-based Arduboy clone, but it will have the Pro Micro housed on a swappable “cartridge”. Rather than pursue another commercial project, I recently decided to design a soldering kit with my two boys based on Arduboy and dotMG (though much much simpler than the original dotMG, which had a SAMD51 and large color screen). Sure, you can fit lots of games on a flash chip, but there’s just something about the feeling of popping in a new game. ![]() ![]() I’ve always loved the concept of game cartridges. It hurts my heart to think about because I loved that project so much. I used to run modmatic.io (now shut down), and one of my biggest regrets is that I never got to produce dotMG. ![]()
