Modified the #Multisystem N64 cartridge to be a little more inspired by the console. Using #3DPrinting for production allows for total manufacturing flexibility 👍 Changed from chunky square to a rounded shape similar to the N64 cartridges. What do you think?

We are adding more @prusa3d.com Core ONE #3DPrinters into our Print farm. So easy to get them running straight out of the box 👍 These new Core ONE machines are keeping up with #Multisystem2 production printing.

A very special pop-up exhibit awaits Arcadians visiting this Sunday for our sold-out Arcade Raids talk. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Anyone attending this event on Sunday is in for a real treat. Everyone has made a very special effort to make this event very memorable. Can’t wait to share more and see you there.

Clear indication of work and progress today! We now almost have a second level floor in the Pump house 🤩

Want to see how my weekend went? Hours of driving. Hotel room trying to kill me. AMAZING Retro Festival. Superb fun!

It's part 2 of the @multisystemfpga.bsky.social review, this time answering your most common questions on the hardware from part 1! #MiSTerFPGA explained...MultiSystem style! youtu.be/Lq2q-ubMl7c

Had a great time at #Retrofest show today, lots of great people and interesting projects. Plenty of things to inspire and learn about and a lot of unique retro stuff never seen before.

Wow, 17 years already. #RepRap #3DPrinting

Just bought a giant lot of development ROMs from Taito Japan that I'm gonna dump and dissect live a week from today! I genuinely don't know what's in here, but there are multiple unreleased and lost NES/Famicom games from this era, and I have reason to suspect that at least one is here.

It’s one of the strangest controllers ever made. The Nintendo Power Glove, did it give Neil the power? @visitthecave.bsky.social

The Nintendo power glove… It’s so bad!

New Dual NES & Saturn SNAC cartridges are now available in the shop. I really like how the NES 4-score dual port fits perfectly into the SNAC Cartridge adaptor. Works perfectly with the NES Zapper too.

So pleased we only use sustainable cardboard spools for our 3D print farm. Lots of ways to #reduce #reuse & #recycle cardboard spools. #Masterspool refills are also now much more available, so you can even remove the cardboard too.

We had the one and only @iainlee.com visit the @retrocollective.co.uk Museums today. Lots of great discussion about #retro and #Arcades Iain is pretty good at Missile Command 👍

We are not starting a Pinball Museum…

Mighty mini #Arcade replicas - Space Race and Computer Space. Don’t they look cool 😎

Really satisfying to see how nice these came out. Big thank you to Dan @retrofied.uk for the fantastic design on the custom sticker sets for these amazing scale model #Arcade Machines.

We are clearing out a lot of unique Multisystem #3DPrinted enclosures at a discount price (£9.99). Most of these are just unique colours or materials. Marble, Neon, Pastels, translucent, or if you want a multicoloured one, just ask in the order notes 😁

Last chance to get the digital bundle. Finishes tonight. Be quick !
