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…

The speed is on par with the M.2 Loader or an SD2SP2/SDGecko 2.0. You can use it with Retro NAS using a USB Ethernet adapter + FSP, but you can not connect a USB hub and simultaneously use the ethernet and storage features.

They are back in stock now!

Yes! New stock will arrive within the next few days.

I already though about making a SP2 USB Dolphin with USB-C but I can't promise this is gonna happen. It's likely not that easy to fit all the required components onto my current SDSP2 Pro+ design.

No it doesn't - it can only emulate one thing at a time.

It currently supports USB sticks/drives for file/game storage and USB Ethernet adapters for BBA emulation

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

The Wii LAN adapter is supported but I would not recommend 100 Mbit adapters if you wanna do game streaming using FSP.

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-dolphin…

This would be cool, but the issue is that no game/homebrew looks for a keyboard attached to SP1 or Slot A/B. For homebrew, it would not be that hard to add. For games, it's theoretically fixable by patching the game, but not really sensible and unlikely to happen.

The speed is limited by the connection to the GC - performance is on par with an SD2SP2 2.0. The port on the device is high-speed (USB 2), not full-speed.

📢 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: store.makstech.io/usb-dolphi…

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

There is a config option to force progressive

You can get the solder flex cheaply directly from JLCPCB (ordering guide is on the PicoLoader github). Alternatively, you can get full solderless or soldered kits from my store.

📢 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/re…

My new favorite cup!
