DC BLUERETRO BOARD

Post by jounge »

For now, Blueretro supports simulating a VMU (200 cells). I have designed a motherboard with a combination of VA0 board, VA1 board, and VA0 VA1, and each handle has a separate indicator light at the plug position of the handle

Excellent work.

I know many consumers would be eager to purchase if you have market ambition.

I come from China and I want to sell it, but I don't know which method is convenient for you to purchase. Do you know China's Xianyu app? I have released many game console modifications there, but for foreign countries, I don't know which method is suitable for me, which is the fastest and most convenient

These LEDs can be changed, and the reason they are blue, red, and green pink is because in addition to the original handle, our domestic handle pairing is successful, which corresponds to the four colors 1234P. Blue, red, and green pink are not as obvious as the transparent box on the original box, which can be added but is only an indicator function. Now, because BLUERETRO supports virtual vmu, it is now a perfect DIY and an official function, It doesn't have the handle to control the switch of the main unit, but I don't think that function is very practical, so only the wireless handle and fan free, or any XH2.54 3PIN fan can be used, because I integrated NE555 on the board, which can deceive the main unit without the need for the original fan

Ok, I'd like one with

port 1 = red
port 2 = yellow
port 3 = blue
port 4 = green

like the colours for Power stone 2 multiplayer - that would be cool

thanks

Awesome!
I have an external controller myself. Works great, this this of course better looking.
Does it have the original controller ports as well?

This one is an automatic switch between the original and wireless grips, the HW2 version
