Well, our friend Ponrev received his unit in Japan already. That was fast! I don’t have much to report about this, but he did! Check out his blog post. Even if you can’t read Japanese, you can still look at all the pictures. http://ponrevival.blogspot.com/2011/08/ngp-linkmasta.html If you want to see what Google Translate makes of it,
I just built 3 NGPC Linkmasta + Flashmasta bundles. To test the waters, I am making these available for purchase. Please keep in mind that there is a lot that has been going into developing and building these. I am not a professional producer of electronics or hardware. This is something that, for years, I’ve
On Friday, I received some new Flashmasta PCBs. I was out on Sat/Sun, but on Sunday evening, I soldered one up. Take a look. Oh, by the way, it works great.

You might remember Thor from such scene releases as: Gears Of Fate Giana’s Return GP32 KOF91 and Many More Neo Geo Pocket Color Creations Anyway, the plan is to get this unit ready to send to him, so he
Wow, I feel like this is a teaser trailer for big things to come. I mean, I saw my name, “Flavor,” up there just as the White Zombie track kicked in. I can’t lie. It kinda gave me chills. Who knew electronics could be so AWESOME! It’s like watching Neo fight Morpheus for the first
