Game cartridges

Some time ago I saw a video of someone making physical copies of games by putting an NFC sticker inside a paper box, which he could put to a scanner, and the computer would start the game.


another reason for this project is the clippy movement

I see one problem with this, and I’m gonna fix it myself.

I’m gonna make my own cartridges, and I’m gonna actually store the games on them, instead of just making them start something.


the idea is:

2 types of "readers", one to put the media on the cartridge and one to play it. a Cartridge

reader 1 (PC):

has no tech other than an adapter.


reader 2 (TV):

Has a Raspberry Pi Built-in, along with an adapter


you'll be able to follow my progress on this page, but i'll also be blogging about it here and on my instagram.


Have a good one,

Tom
