Made a source-patch #MegaDuck port of the recent #Celeste Classic #GameBoy version by Rous/joshop.

Playable and fun even on blurry oem screens.

Patch and binary made and shared with permission, only needed minor edits to get it running on the good duck.

#GameBoy to #MegaDuck Cart Slot Adapter Design is now available as #opensource.

This allows plugging GB flash carts (including flashable #gameboycameras) into the MegaDuck Console. Game Boy games and programs are *not* automatically compatible, they require patching.

Made a replacement Gamepad ("Mouse") for a #MegaDuck Quique laptop with a gutted aftermarket SNES pad.

Added the wiring diagram and other details on how to make one to the MegaDuck info page.

The SuperVision and MegaDuck are so similar Game Boy knock offs that I have to lump them together. A big problem for a chronology project is that they quality is so poor that it would eventually feel like punching down on Snake Roy.

SuperVision: Alleyway
MegaDuck: Baseball on the Game Boy

Ahhhh, could't help it. Took a detour to do some Game Boy -> MegaDuck ROM patching yesterday.

Made a couple game cheats then disassembed and ROM patched the new #GameBoy #shmup Nocptern by @denebolagames.bsky.social to run on the #MegaDuck. Did everything except the audio (the most tedious part).

An obscure cpu clone of a #GameBoy won't support a system RTC date past 2011.

Found this Y2K12 bug while disassembling the system ROM of the #MegaDuck laptop model. The hardware itself could do it, but I guess they didn't think anyone would still use the console 15 years later (made in ~1995)
bbbbbr ‪@bbbbbr.bsky.social‬ Been reverse engineering (keyboard, rtc, etc) the #MegaDuck #SuperQuiQue laptop. It's like #GameBoy #Workboy except it actually shipped. It has same GB compatible cpu (sm83) and with slightly altered registers as Megaduck Handheld. Anyhow, turns out the System ROM has a Y2K12 bug, max year 2011😄

Woo! I've updated my #MegaDuck ROM patch on itch for Fydo's Magic Tiles to note that the source ROM is now **pay what you want**. 🎉

Recommend checking out this charming puzzle game for the Game Boy *and* Mega Duck. :)

There oughta be.... a way to USB video stream #MegaDuck console gameplay too!

Modified the firmware for the GB Interceptor device by @there.oughta.be to do that. Connecting the device requires a #GameBoy to Mega Duck cart slot adapter.

#GameBoy 4-Player adapter mysteries solved & working great.

Now we have snakes, 4 of them! And synchronized game play across 4 consoles. Game mechanics still work in progress.

Adapter interface code now open sourced & documented:

Most importantly, this new game has a build which runs on a MegaDuck and fits in a 32K flash cart. 😄

It's built with GBDK which can fairly easily target both the #GameBoy and #MegaDuck/#CougarBoy

Added a "Hardware Features Used" filter for the #GBDK Showcase/Gallery.

Now it's easy to find games and tools which use Cart Rumble, RTC, the #GameBoy Color IR Sensor or even the #MegaDuck Keyboard.
