VGNY’s records kiosk now has barcode based video playback via Zaparoo. I really need to figure out how to share this with other indie retailers.

Now the next thing I'm admittedly not too familiar with myself, but you can also play Carts on your PC via the Epilogue Operator Cart Readers and this can also even work with the Super Station via Zaparoo but YMMV on that. www.epilogue.co

yeah, at most they'll just need a cap swap.

and what's cool with the operators is that they made official mister cores for them so you can use those as actual cart slots for the SSO, along with a Zaparoo bridge if you don't want the full core github.com/epilogue-co/...

Am I being too much of a purist snob by not checking out these various front ends like Zaparoo?

Installed a larger NFC antenna into the SuperStation One and it's made a huge improvement in Zaparoo card reads. Recommended fix for those that experiment with the RFID stuff.

Got a huge stack of #Zaparoo #Tapto Holo3DFX NFC labels sitting! I need to pay some impending dooms, I mean bills pronto so doing a fire sale. Only $10 per set of 10 + shipping. Bulk deal if more than 10 sets. This is HALF PRICE / set as normally do $20 but I need to get funds quick. All available!

Zaparoo Frontend running on Android 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bluetooth/Wifi chip
NFC reader for Zaparoo
All types of analog outs
NVMe and a disc drive if you get the dock
SNAC for PS1
and also just straight up a power button

you can work around all of this with a hamgeek, it will just add up and unless you invest even more will be a much messier set up

For those of you who like the 'ritual' of retro games but are finding yourself with dying hardware, ask your doctor if Zaparoo is right for you.

This is a cool NFC system to let you start classic games with physical NFC tokens.

If the game is still hard after 4 hours, consult a walkthrough.

Running the #Zaparoo Frontend as a proper app in SteamOS gaming mode. I really really love this. It’s so damn fast after being optimised for the dumpster MiSTer CPU
September 14, 2026 at 11:09 AM
sometimes I'm like "you know, sitting in the beanbag chair and playing tetrisphere is always an option" when I see my silly little zaparoo card I made and it's arguably more functional to me at this exact moment than the cart I own

I think I accidentally sold myself on game key cards?? idk

you know, zaparoo sounds pretty convenient for a situation where someone might be playing the same game really often, like speedrunning

I wonder if using an NFC tag to load a game like that during gameplay acts as a hard reset 🤔
