New Product Alert: DSPico
Finally have the injection molded cases in hand. Grey will ship starting Wednesday next week, clear shell units will have about a month delay, but the final shell passed inspection so I will be putting them into production now.

Yeah, that kind of up front cash would be better spent on an injection mold.
Usually cost prohibitive, also most require you to provide RAL or Pantone codes for the colors, so you need to also buy color cards from those brands to compare to which can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
The places I've found want minimum orders of around 50kg at $30 a spool.
I have a LA at the shop, I can look into it. Might be a good project for my other 3d modeler to work on.
I would need the filament to be color matched first. The GameCube Indigo color is not something being sold by any filament manufactures.
New Product Release SD2SP2 ACE:
www.laserbear.net/products/gam...
This is not a pre-order, but due to high demand orders may take longer than our typical 2 day fulfillment estimates.
SD2SP2 ACE will be released for order on Monday.
Finally have the fit and finish where I want it. Added a snap clip, and a foot so it doesn't sag under the console, and the foot fits perfectly into a GameBoy Player if that is also installed.
Yeah, that side port seems to be pretty locked down by Sega. It uses some custom chips to talk with the Dreamcast.
There is one but it only works in Dreamshell. It also connects to the serial port, not the side slot. I was looking at potentially making a few. I am following a lead on serial port connectors.
There's now a new version of the #GameCube homebrew ethernet adapter that doesn't stick out the side! Check out the post for links and more info: retrorgb.com/gamecube-swi...
Potentially. I don't want to get people's hopes up as I do not maintain Swiss and can't add that support myself. This device has the speed needed, but without support in Swiss all it can do is emulate a BBA for use in games If that does come out for it I'll update the product page and put out guides
It is possible for NAS loading, but that has not been implemented, and I can't guarantee it will ever make it to this device.
This one runs at 32MHz SPI speed which means there is enough speed for the feature.
The Gamecube ETH2SP1 by Laser Bear Industries is headed to the Castle!

It works with a SD2SP2 in place, both can be used at the same. The only limit is you can not emulate BBA and Emulate Memory Cards at the same time.
Pre-Orders for ETH2SP1 are live, get your GameCube BBA Alternative order in. Shipping expected Early March.
These can be used with SWISS to emulate BroadBand Adapter functionality in games that support BBA.
@8bitmods.bsky.social will also carry them.

Some APA102 LEDs fun driven by ESP32 ULP co-mcu on @collingall.bsky.social DC internal mod proto
Damn these Noctua NF-A4x10 5v are beautiful in Black with the Brown bumpers. Been a while since we could stock this color way. I need to get the tariff invoice from UPS before I list them I have an idea what that looks like but until I get the final pricing I can't list these for sale.
Getting ready to send off the first test unit for @darthcloud.blueretro.com threw together a test firmware to validate the addressable LEDs since they were a pain to solder. It's so nice to see them shine. #DreamcastBlueRetro
#LCDJewel we have life, booting a simple bootloader. I'm excited to get back to work with this monster of a MCU.
Not anything firm, hoping to get it into production before the end of the year, probably an open pre-order to get the first batch going.
New Protos today just need to pencil in time to get them assembled today.

We will be carrying the PicoLoader soon! We expect the stock to be ready for sale in 2-3 weeks.
If this is something that you are interested in please join the back in stock list so we can gauge interest.
Thank you @machonachomedia.bsky.social for the great video!
The firmware work is done by @darthcloud.blueretro.com and he has NS2 support working. The full firmware will be coming soon for all HW2 based devices including mine.
Finally I can use the matching #GameCube #WaveBird thanks to the replacement adapter from @collingall.bsky.social

I forgot to post on this side, but the new chip I'm moving to finally launched samples, and I have a new prototype board waiting for them to be delivered next week.
Always love to see the final panels for these projects. #WavePhoenix adapters will start shipping soon, just need to assemble and QC test
I love the idea of the Switch 2's joy-cons having a mouse mode but it's really uncomfortable. I'm working on a solution for that. Gotta get ready for Metroid Prime 4 😅
