4p wireless Mario Kart anyone? (Re-cap + Tim’s RGB mod)
I do plan to do an internal BlueRetro mod at some point (so I'll be able to connect controllers without dongles) but I'm waiting til this issue is hopefully fixed.
- 8bitmods Blueretro N64 wireless adaptor is sold out - are the AliExpress ones similar?

Do you guys think $200 is a fair price for modded GC. it's got Picoboot, bluetooth on all 4 ports, and a custom RGB led mod I made myself that changes between 20 colors.
best i could figure out is that he did this. https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/wiki/BlueRetro-DIY-Build-Instructions maybe there is something better?

PS1 internal BlueRetro mod update (port status LEDs & multi-tap support - details in comments)
This issue is documented on the BlueRetro github, where it is the 5th-oldest reported bug, as well as by far the most commented. This issue has been known for at least a year and a half. Will's Console Modifications used to have this bug listed on the UnoRetro page, but they removed it - even though the bug still hasn't been fixed - which means you have to use the Internet Wayback Machine to verify on an old version of their website that they knew about it.

Look Ma! No dongles! ... Internal BlueRetro for wireless controllers
The official BlueRetro docs have great instruction on how to install the code and pair controllers, but for internal installs I'd recommend nostalgic-influences wiring diagram.png) if you're like me and have trouble reading electrical schematics.

Trying to identify this ESP32 Module
I’m trying to port Retro-GO to one of these tiny gaming handhelds and I wanted to compile a list of the parts used, but I’m having trouble identifying the ESP32 module used since it looks like the telltale metal shield on the module was removed. Any clues?

Original Odroid go - Software updates?
https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/releases/tag/1.31.1 There are a couple cool 3rd party images. This one is my favorite, and has tons of cool features, including a slow snes core.

Pocket-Sized Doom Is Actually Playable
No I don’t! It would be a fun toy, but it’s definitely underpowered… since it uses a esp32 chip instead of something like a raspberry pi (like other portable emulators do). I might buy one if I can find it for cheap, and add the Retro-go firmware.

Adafruit upcoming handheld console may be the smallest (playable) DOOM device
During development of this device they ported (info here) Retro-32 to the device, a multi-emulator software developed originally for Odroid-GO, that support PrBoom.
