Our Projects

Dumping a 20 years old Game Boy prototype game

In 2022, we were offered an original Nintendo Game Boy development cartridge containing a beta/prototype version of the game Zidane Football Generation. Thanks to the community, we crowdfunded the purchase, obtained the cartridge and dumped the game! You can download the prototype here and watch the live dump (1 hour) on Youtube.

Nintendo DS Hidden TV Output

During late 2020, we discovered that the Nintendo DS Lite had a leftover feature in its SoC allowing it to easily have hardware video output. With a little circuitry and some software hacks, we were able to restore it and make it usable for anyone! No FPGA’s, no bulky or cumbersome hardware. Click here to see the project page.
