#blueretro — Public Fediverse posts

Oh me? I'm just playing #BoulderDash on the #NES simulator on my newly #HDMI modded #Nintendo64 with the #BlueRetro #Bluetooth controller adapter. Never had a #Nintendo before. Thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm late for the #retrogaming party. Again.

First was when I discovered the #MT32pi - an emulator of the legendary Roland MT-32 MIDI device, that nobody could afford, but was supported by a number of awesome games back in the late #80s / early #90s. @d0pefish, the developer behind it, threw in the towel, saying he'd had enough abuse from people. If I ever meet that guy, beers are on me.

Next, I'm looking into different options for revamping an old #Nintendo64, and I stumbled upon the #BlueRetro project by @darthcloud. It's based on the #ESP32 and is basically a bluetooth-enabled controller emulator, allowing you to use your fancy new wireless controller with old consoles. The developer also threw in the towel in December 2025, citing other priorities. Again, beers are on me.

Common for these two, is that they're open source and sold by a lot of Chinese vendors, who're often not supporting or even crediting the developers, making it a somewhat thankless job. We should do better.

A #blueretro #saturn adapter so I can use the #8bitdo Saturn BT controller. Oh, but I also ordered the other Saturn BT receiver... I blame it on late night online shopping. Or I can look for a friend to play together... €12.50

I opened up my #Commodore #Amiga #CDTV to install a #BlueRetro.
It's a bit of a too tight fit for my understanding. Also the seller didn't solder on the pin headers flush/correctly.
Need to correct that.
Sucks when you're a perfectionist.🤷‍♂️

Bon BlueRetro Core commandé, test hardware incoming dans 2 ou 3 semaines si tout va bien…

Newest toy is this #BlueRetro for the #Commodore #CDTV.
I hope this works directly with the new Sordan tank mouse I bought a while ago.
If not there's also the option for a regular mouse port, but I'd have to create an opening.
