Finally manage to solder a 64MB flash. Harder than I expected when one pin didn’t connect correctly. Anyway, have to start select games, any suggestion?
I think you can search youtube for the tutorials, but don’t follow them exactly, because most of them do not quite know how to do soldering XD. If you have a hot air gun it will be much easier, but it is still doable with solder iron. I suggest you to desolder the speaker from the board and remove the board from the case before doing anything. You can test and flash the ROM without reconnecting the board to display. You can flash the ROM with a pi or st-link adapter. I’m using a st-link adapter and I suggest to do so. It is a lot more stable and faster than using pi. Here are all the useful links of software that I’ve used. Backup and Unlock the G&W, do it before any hardware mod https://github.com/ghidraninja/game-and-watch-backup Patch original game so launch retro-go with SET+Left https://github.com/BrianPugh/game-and-watch-patch Orignal Retrogo from G&W https://github.com/kbeckmann/game-and-watch-retro-go Forked version that support cover art (I’m using this) https://github.com/olderzeus/game-and-watch-retro-go Convert MAME G&W games to Retrogo, you can download G&W games from any MAME archive. And google “Game and watch artwork” for the artkworks, you should able to find a google drive sharing folder https://github.com/bzhxx/LCD-Game-Shrinker

Working on porting RetroArch to the RetroMini RS-90. I managed to get it to compile and display status text. No menu yet. More details in the ocmments.
Best of luck,l for you project. I suggest you to have a look to the Game an watch hack that has similar limitations to run emulators. Someone made this tool to shrink the roms and make them lighter to run: https://github.com/bzhxx/LCD-Game-Shrinker
