Text didnt show up for some reason

Yippity yap yap, just fixing the mistake with my last image. Text didnt really show up when i sent that last picture. Sorry! Now i have to make up 150 extra characters cause i wasnt careful.IMG_3229

Got the cartridge somewhat working

It writes whatever text i want it to write, and then the main file reads it. Its not much but its honest work. Soon i’ll have 5 games. After that i’ll work on miscellaneous (i think thats how you spell it) stuff like multiplayer and bluetooth support. I am almost doneIMG_3228
with this project, and it only took like a month. Thanks to the 17 people who viewed and the 1 person that followed. Really means a lot!

Fixing my hours

Nothing special to add here, i realized i read the time thing wrong. So i have to write 150 characters and post a random image. Truly sorry for my mistake. This is meant to fix the gap between the FIRST and SECOND updates.IMG_3008

Finally added a screen

The screen took a while to arrive in the mail. But i finally got it. I will run a few tests on there. While i’ve been doing that i’ve also been researching how the cartridge will work.IMG_3084

Made the buttons and sound work

Got the buttons and sound to work. Now working on reading data from EEPROMS and putting them on the pico. First game i’ll test is rock paper scissors since i dont have a screen yet.IMG_3007

Laid out the materials. Started connecting some things.

Laid out everything but im missing the screen. So far i have: main board (rpi pico), a buzzer (for sound), some buttons, the EEPROM, and the cartridge pins. Planning on using one of those OLED screens with four pins.IMG_2891
