It’s a fun little hack! I like how it’s alllllllmost practical, but not quite :-) The biggest limitation for me right now if that I have to stay within 10 feet of my WiiU console or it has a bad time.

Yes, the next big project will be Labo-related, though I might post another smaller project in the interim. Labo is such a fun concept. I guess I get why it wasn’t a huge success, but I’m glad Nintendo gave it a shot anyway.

Neat! Nah, I haven’t done the USB C mod, but that looks pretty slick. I just use the charging cradle that came with the black WiiU deluxe set.

Super deep cut (this might be my most obscure bit of Nintendo trivia as I couldn’t find any images of it online), but have you ever seen the hidden wireframe models in Red Alarm? If you shoot very specific places in game, you can reveal low-poly 3D models of a Virtual Boy, Game Boy, and even a girl in a bikini… for some reason. I wonder if Nintendo’s top brass were aware of that one when it shipped :-)

In the beginning, I really thought it would just be the typing automation, but as time went on I had more and more
intrusive thoughtsideas for features to add.I happen to be a big fan of that 80s music video :-) I think this was the third time it’s made an appearance on my YouTube channel.
It’s one of my favorites, too! Almost like a Punch Out!! spinoff. VB Wario Land is worthy of the praise it receives, but I also really like the Virtual Boy’s StarFox-like, Red Alarm.

Though I have seen others gut the internals and replace them with mechanical switches. I’ll see if I can find some keyboard communites to share to - thanks for the idea!

hunterirving@lemmy.worldOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•I designed and printed 81 custom keycaps for the GameCube Keyboard Controller, then hacked it to work with Animal CrossingEnglish10·4 days agoYep, it uses an input buffer. I ran some tests it seems to max out around 45wpm. If you type faster than that, the characters will still be added to the buffer and get processed, but you’ll eventually have to sit and wait for the movements to play out (at about 45wpm). For reference, my best rate unassisted (using a standard GameCube controller) was about 20wpm.
There are dozens of us!
Looking back, it almost feels like a Switch prototype. It’s a goofy little thing, but I love it. That said, I also love the Nintendo Virtual Boy, so my judgement might be questionable.
Thank you! I think the impracticality of it all adds an extra layer of fun :-)
hunterirving@lemmy.worldOPto Opensource@programming.dev•MacProxy Plus - Browse the Modern Web on Vintage Computers2·4 days agoThanks for checking it out! I totally agree, the BlueSCSI is an awesome little device.
Slightly perceptible, but totally playable. Considering all the hops it has to make, it’s surprisingly good. I have both my WiiU and my desktop hooked up to ethernet, which helps. Games like Portal 2 work well because they don’t usually require split second inputs, but anything requiring precision (like a rhythm game) would probably be a struggle.
I think the white sets (at least in the US) might have shipped with a non-charging stand? Pretty sure there were white sets released in Japan that included one, though. Sounds like a nice setup! Maybe I should start USBC modding some of my stuff, if only to pare down my Big Drawer of Cables.
