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-bas…

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-usb…

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.

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