Looks like the Dreamcast and NES light gun games can live again! If only I had somewhere to put the TV though. Well, one thing at a time.11 Apr 2026 20:46 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjapftsdi22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3miwd3oysbs2zSince I'm still waiting on parts / having issues with some suppliers, I decided to do a quick and useful project for #Dreamcast fans.

Also made a tutorial vid (that covers USB/MX4SIO game loading too) if you're interested: youtu.be/j5Frqd5Gt7w https://youtu.be/j5Frqd5Gt7w03 Mar 2026 20:08 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6l3j3ihk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3mf6a5hnir22eHere's a little behind the scenes for the next project I'm building18 Feb 2026 23:27 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf6a5hnir22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3me3fxmyqrc2hThat urge to play retro games didn't let up, so I ended up setting up Batocera with NES/SNES/N64/GB/GBC/GBA/PSX/PSP/Dreamcast and made a tutorial video in case anyone wanted to do the same.

I also have a bunch of family commitments and other things going on, so I'm really hoping to at least get one project done before the new year.20 Dec 2025 17:34 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3magqhputws2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3m73pdlp32k26Since I've still been waiting for parts and things to arrive, I decided to tackle a little refurb project that's been sitting on the sidelines for a few months.

Can anyone recommend a decent one? Preferably budget-friendly, but I'll go for better quality vs price if it means I won't need to replace it as soon.20 Oct 2025 02:15 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3lqnlvtwc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3m2mw2w4jpc2iBought a Wii online and it had locked parental controls, so I made this video for anyone in a similar boat: youtu.be/4MmLsrQCzTs https://youtu.be/4MmLsrQCzTs07 Oct 2025 19:59 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2mw2w4jpc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3m2hmnyukxk2eSo turns out my main video storage/editing hard drive failed and I've lost whatever content I hadn't backed up. Couple that with the Canada Post strike and all the components I've ordered are in mail limbo.

I absolutely adored that console (Super Mario 1,2, and 3. Duck hunt, Mega Man 2, and so many other titles with massive nostalgia for me).

I wanted to fix my copy of #pokemon yellow after I noticed the save file was gone and it wouldn't keep a new save, so here's that: youtu.be/i-xS5KHjiJ4 hopefully it helps if you've also got a #gameboy, #gbc, or #gba game that's not saving https://youtu.be/i-xS5KHjiJ403 Jun 2025 20:09 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqq3twumwk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3lpsipn5zjs2aAnyone got recs for some good, lesser known NES games to revisit? I'm in the mood for a retro night and I'm queuing up Power Blade, Terra Cresta, and I could use a third. #retrogaming #nes23 May 2025 01:39 +0000at://did:plc:4sxmzyg3ib7ogphjktxwitro/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpsipn5zjs2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/dmscreates.bsky.social/post/3loqsnygpns2aFinally decided it was time to replace my OEM #n64 control stick. It had a good loooooooong run, but lost too much range of motion from plastic wearing itself down. So I grabbed a new stick module, swapped it, and recorded the whole thing.
