Outside of the few flashcarts I have, don’t really know the history behind the creation of them. Probably worth looking into the everdrive made by Krikzz as a starting point.

My Life in Gaming also did a few videos on the subject a while back. Here’s one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuHA3k-y6PE

For me personally, I think it’s a good way to play rom hacks on original hardware. Definitely a good way to also not put as much wear and tear on the cartridge slot either

History has the tendency to repeat itself. Considering Nintendo does a lot to cut manufacturing costs where possible, that would be cheaper to keep the new carts from working in the original. I bet you’re right on this

Also a good point. It would be surprising if the protocol wasn’t changed either for the slot itself.

Should be interesting to see how it blocks flashcarts.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well. When and if it gets confirmed that the cartridge slot is exactly the same (don’t see why it wouldn’t be) and can read Switch carts, that will probably be it.

More than likely though, Switch 2 carts will have a different type of encryption that things like the Mig switch probably won’t be able to read without an update

No, she’s crazy, and she needs to go down

Can definitely vouch for Sceptre. Have a computer monitor from them and a TV as well. Absolutely love them both. My concern is actually tracking down Sceptre anything though. They’re constantly out of stock on their website

+1 for System76. Linux support by default and they ship to Switzerland

They also work with a Phalanx XR-12

Ha! That was a good one.

(I’ll be surprised if anyone gets the reference I made lol)

Find a way to convert them into triangle shaped disks
