I’ve found a small hobby in restoring old Nintendo consoles in the last few years. I’ve repaired DMG’s, a couple of DS’s, and a 2DSXL. They made great machines.

I’ve found a small hobby in restoring old Nintendo consoles in the last few years. I’ve repaired DMG’s, a couple of DS’s, and a 2DSXL. They made great machines. But the fun thing is programming for them. Brings me back. Almost want to fire up Workbench and find a copy of Protracker. Or get Dosbox and Turbo C. Except that modern computers, for all the pain points they have, are faster and more convenient. I think we can still learn a thing or two. Like rendering a page of text scrolling without any tearing or stuttering. But I wouldn’t want to go back to them.
