It’s not extensive, but I have a non-trivial collection of original NES, SNES, and N64 cartridges. Does anyone have first-hand experience doing battery replacements on those who could give recommendations or point me to resources you found helpful? Any good lists to identify which games have batteries?

I just cleaned a battery explosion out of an old Mac, and it just occurred to me, I’ve got some other decades old batteries chilling in some of those. It is Zelda’s 40th anniversary after all.

Here's where things are currently at.

There's a long way to go in terms of fleshing out the editors and adding import and export tools, but all of the new options in the re-written underlying engine are available to explore and experiment with.

I'm doing SNES DEV GAME JAM 2026 (Aug/Sep/Oct) with an old prototype: Super Wild Cart

It would be fun to work in a team, so any pixel & audio folks with real SNES experience: get in touch!

I'd front load my gamedev…then chip away as team over duration.

In Chapter 9 of my serialized memoir, it's 1986, Heartland for the ZX Spectrum ships, and the reality of shipping 10 games in a year for Firebird/Telecomsoft means our brand new Amiga 1000s have to be set aside in favor of cranking out points for the contract.

Pictured are Colin Grunes (left) and me at the Odin Computer Graphics booth in the Firebird/Telecomsoft area, 1986 PCW Show, Olympia.
