Hackaday ☛ Game Bub Plays ROMs And Cartridges
With today’s technology, emulating video game consoles from the 90s or before is trivial. A Raspberry Pi and a controller of some sort is perhaps the easiest and simplest way to go to get this job done, but to really impress the masses some extra effort is required. This handheld from [Eli] called the Game Bub not only nails the appearance and feel of the first three generations of Nintendo handhelds but, thanks to its FPGA, can play not only ROMs but the original game cartridges as well.

[Old] Declan Chidlow ☛ I Got A Flipper Zero
Once I had the Flipper properly setup, I dove straight into mischief. First action was cloning the TV remote so I’d be able to mildly inconvenience anyone at my discretion. This sort of IR cloning is super easy, simply open the necessary app, set it to learn, point the relevant remote at the Flipper’s sensor, and press whatever button you want to capture.

This sort of interaction has defined my usage of the Flipper. Receive a signal and play it back. It’s a real world copy paste. In fact, that is probably the best way to describe the Flipper for anyone curious about what exactly it is. It’s a copy and paste for the world’s signals.
