Swiss - FlipperMCE Open Source GameCube Memory Card Emulator

As promised last week, I've been messing around with #FlipperMCE and Swiss and got something working that I just didn't want to completely keep to myself 😉
It's a PoC, it's really rough, the code is smelly, but it boots some games at least 😉 Full writeup here:
flippermce.github.io/swiss/

Good news: looks like I might soon release a PoC implemented in #Swiss to start games from #FlipperMCE
Please note: this may have bugs and may be suboptimal! It will also not be PR‘d to mainline Swiss, since it doesn‘t meet its quality expectations.
Still interested?

RiP myrient… this is a big loss for retro gaming and preservation… myrient.erista.me

FYI: Splash generators for sd2psXtd (sd2psxtd.github.io) and FlipperMCE (flippermce.github.io) have been updated to fix some cropping issues! Hope you’ll like that😊

Painting of Link with a million little gadgets and weapons from across the games. I worked harder on this in a 5 week period than any other thing I’ve ever painted. I think I almost died working on this lol

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

And just for completeness sake 😃 You can order #FlipperMCE from any vendor or manufacturer you like - the PCB files are available on github.com/FlipperMCE/pcb
I ordered my batch order at JLCPCB which is a bit more involved than PCBWay, but may also be a bit cheaper depending on where you live 😉

Thanks @retrorgb.com for also covering the #FlipperMCE in your weekly roundup❤️

Any idea where to source legitimate PPU/CPU?

Features - FlipperMCE Open Source GameCube Memory Card Emulator

I just added a list with all #FlipperMCE compatible GameCube apps to the wiki. Those apps are able to use FlipperMCE as a block device 😊

Just used my lunch break to make our OpenMCE Discord a bit more appealing😉 Join if you want to discuss stuff like #FlipperMCE , #sd2psXtd or #CPAK2040

Too excited to not show it: 32MHz game verification through Swiss directly on a #FlipperMCE

If you're wondering what might be next on #FlipperMCE - here's some stuff I'm working on in the background. No ETA yet. This does not mean, that automagically game loading will happen - but it at least is a foundation for it ;)

Oookay... I just received the first batch of production PCBs for #FlipperMCE - and apparently there is an error in the BOM, listing the wrong display connector. I pulled the PCB release files from the repo until I have figured this out.. sorry for the inconvenience 😔

Thanks so much to all beta testers for discovering many bugs before public release ❤️ !
BIG BIG thanks to @GameBitFunX to design the case and PCB ❤️ !

Sometimes it's just time to release... Like today 😃 After about 6 months of development, I'm proud to present version 1.0 of #FlipperMCE to you.
Now head over to flippermce.github.io to see what this is actually all about ❤️
And as always: I love good Coffee 😉

It just took about 12345 iterations - but I think this bracket should make display adjustment a lot easier😃 #FlipperMCE

Looks like we are are at the dawn… #FlipperMCE

Had a cool thing arrive just now via post. Thanks to @bbsan.bsky.social.
It's a prototype unit of the FlipperMCE memory card for the GameCube.

Some more fun with #FlipperMCE Splash Screen 😉 Took some inspiration about how to generate a uf2 file directly from #PicoLoader <3
