www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFk1... I've got a new vid for ya'll! It's about how I FIXED Pokemon Emeralds BROKEN RNG. So now, with just an e-reader card, you can play & hunt in the game normally, like you would in Ruby & Sapphire. Let me know what you thought of the vid, enjoy!

Huh, unexpected challenge. I'm having issues displaying Hiragana with the Japanese E-Reader+. Katakana seems ok. No worries, I'll just look this up in the documen-- oh, oh no...

RetroDotCards now has a status page. I will add updates there, then post here when I do. Current, low confidence release date estimate: July 2025. Will that actually happen? Probably not :) Check the status page for more info. www.retrodotcards.com/series-one/s...

Sometimes your code shows hints you're onto something

The E-Reader preservation team managed to archive every official E-Reader card. There are some very obscure cards, so this is no small feat. hitsave.org/tag/e-reader/

The E-Reader on Nintendo of Mexico's official website. This was pulled from the wayback machine. Was the E-Reader officially released in Mexico? That is news to me.

More cards from the printer. This time a two sided test run. This is not what the final cards will look like, the back will be different at the very least. But wow, it's so cool to have actual cards! It looks like this crazy idea is really happening.

E-Reader cards hold up pretty well when damaged. They use the same basic technology to handle missing data as QR Codes do.

I sent out a big pile of Japanese Solitaire cards last night. I hope everyone that is ordering these understands they won't work on an English e-reader 😬

And now @shenm.bsky.social's E-Snake has its card designed. I like how this one came out, it kinda looks like a kid's book illustration.

Glad it arrived and works! I can't take credit for the music, that's all Nintendo :) I still have Japanese Solitaire cards. I had to take down the order form because it got infested by bots. If anyone wants one, send your mailing address to [email protected]
