I’m open sourcing TinySD, a dependency-free C library for SD cards and SDIO on embedded and bare-metal systems - github.com/loopj/tinysd

After seeing enough people adding solder to their ENIG-plated SD2SP2s, I made an improved variant that doesn't just fall out.
So, if you prefer the simple SD2SP2, you can now get it with the same satisfying fit as the Pro+:
store.makstech.io/sd2sp2-basic-p…

Did you know you can now load #GameCube games over your network via #RetroNAS, using a homebrew USB device called #USBDolphin and a USB Ethernet device? Performance will vary, but this is still REALLY cool. Links and more info: retrorgb.com/usb-dolphin-us…

The USB Dolphin is now available for pre-order!
If you're interested, you can get one here:
store.makstech.io/products/usb-d…

I further improved the compatibility with different LAN adapters of the USB Dolphin.
Now you will be able to use the Wii LAN Adapter:
github.com/makeo/usb-dolp…

📢 I can finally show what's coming next - USB Dolphin - a USB 2.0 port for SP1 or Slot A/B.
Supports all kinds of USB storage devices, the SP1 variant even allows network game streaming (Swiss + RetroNAS/FSP) and more!

See all its features here:

📢 The design and production files for the solderless PicoLoader modules I'm selling are now open source:
github.com/makeo/PicoLoad…

Shout-out to Silversteel for the design and a thank you to all of you who already supported me by ordering through my shop!

📢 I added quite a few new toys to the store!
This includes USB Gecko's, PicoLoaders for the Panasonic Q and a variety of SD Adapters.
For US customers, prices include tariffs.

📢 cubiboot v0.3 is out!
- Game icons now load very quickly as long as you use an exFat formatted SD card
- Improved SD card compatibility
- And a few other bufixes

Download it here:
github.com/makeo/cubiboot…

My new favorite cup!

Is this even a GameCube anymore?

Cubiboot is here!
This gives you the cubeboot interface for PicoLoader and PicoBoot!
It has most of the features of cubeboot but supports SD2SP2, SD Gecko and similar SD adapters.

Check it out here: github.com/makeo/cubiboot

The solderless PicoLoader modules with replaceable flex cables are available to US customers!
store.makstech.io/products/picol…
And as a small treat (or trick), a teaser of something that is coming to PicoLoader and PicoBoot very soon!

Quite a few people asked about US shipping for the solderless PicoLoader modules.
I'm hard at work to implement a solution - if everything works out, they will be available to US customers in 1-2 weeks.

Small update: Sadly, the first test package to the US bounced - I already sent another one that hopefully resolved the previous issues.
This will, however, add 1-2 weeks to the process.

The solderless PicoLoader modules are now available:
store.makstech.io
However, shipping to the US is currently unavailable - I really hope this is resolved soon.
Otherwise, if your country/region is not listed, you can send me a message and I will add it.

Fewer wires, but the state of the GameCube is even worse...
At least now my GameCube thinks a USB Stick is an SD card

Big Raspberry Pis are programming their Pico children.
This was meant to be.

The batch of solderless PicoLoader modules arrived!
Now it's time for testing and packing...

📢 PicoLoader v1.2 is out!
- Now supports the Raspberry Pi Pico 2
- Enable/disable boot animation using "Boot Mode" setting in Swiss (requires Swiss r1913)
