I don't use discs, I run off an SSD. That one has a stellar and XboxHD mod. Also that shelf isn't going anywhere. It's solid wood with a slate top, it takes two people to lift it just enough to get furniture sliders under it and the stand is very stable.

Edit: it also has the ram upgrade and an externally powered relay to control the power switch.

The shelves are deep and the door is open when on, no heat issues even with the PS5.

I would caution going too far down the custom rabbit hole for something like a light bulb, just because you will eventually have to replace it. At that point I would look at a zigbee/zwave lightbulb with a esp32 in the base powered by a AC to DC converter to control the bulb. You would need a stick to control it but the trade off is a much easier replacement later on.

I missed the part about switching to RGB LED, but I'm not sure if any products are bright enough to be useful. You are right that if you powered the Shelly with ac, it outputs ac, which goes against your Edison bulb replacement idea. If you can find something that runs on 12v (like a light strip), that case no relay would be needed. You could replace the AC cord with a 12v DC adapter to power the lights and use a cheap 5-30v to 5v buck converter to power the esp32.

Do you care about dimming or running an extra cord into the lamp? Someone has done something similar here with just an esp32 and smart switch. If you want just a single cord, you'll need esp32, AC to DC 5v board, and some dry contact ac relay module. The code would be similar but the esp32 would directly control the relay instead of using a switch.

Edit: thinking about it more, you may also just be able to use a shelly 1 relay flashed with esphome has gpio pins and can run off ac power but it uses an esp8266 so not sure how that would work with capacitive touch.

It might be a good idea for a post. I run HA in docker and haven't dug into the documentation yet.

I've used this remote and it works well but it is zwave. In general, you want battery powered devices to be either zwave or zigbee since they use less power. If you want to connect the smart plugs to an existing switch you can use a Shelly relay or a smart switch

It will not work with PAL park. I believe the EZ-FLASH OMEGA Definitive Edition can use its "Mode B" but the build quality isn't great with those and there are a lot of reports of people losing saves.

The other option would be something insidegagets flash cart but that also needs their flasher.

So far every year yes.

Everdrives are the top of the line flashcarts for various retro systems. They allow you to boot roms and romhacks on original hardware without any modification required. For each system, there are various price levels that give extra features. For example, the GB X7 provides a rtc (aka Pokemon games keep time) but is more expensive. The only sale they typically do during the year is Black Friday event.

My go-to for anything sensor related is esphome. Maybe a resistance sensor could work for you. https://esphome.io/components/sensor/resistance.html

Unknown, if you want that info you should probably email funny playing directly.

I agree, I don't see this as a competitor to the Pocket, more like a cheaper alternative to a modded GBC

I wouldn't expect it too. The screen should be exactly the same as their other ips mods.

No, the analogue pocket does multiple systems and with shipping is going to cost close to $300. This is basically a Gameboy color with those mods and no electrolytic caps.

Edit: also no SD card, so just a pure GBC implementation to read og carts or everdrives

Try setting up the

What router OS are you using?

That's why I say "suppose it's $350 with tax and shipping". There are no details but if it's cheaper I would be surprised. Extra $200 is an x7

So in theory an everdrive should (there was an issue with the pocket and some GB X7 due to a signal spike not present on the original Gameboy hardware). The main issue is that it's a pretty large additional expense if you want a seamless experience (the x5 requires pressing the reset button to save). Say when this comes out it's $350 with tax and shipping, which is pretty generous I think. You now have to spend an additional $200 for the cart to play roms. Now the choices in this price range are:

1. Analogue: $550
2. Mister: $615 (price of a fully configured kit with aluminum shell, can be priced cheaper if full diy)
3. Mars: $699
4. N64 + HDMI Mod: $620ish (eBay price $120 for a good condition console with expansion and controller, $200 for the mod, another $100 to install it if not diy).

I see this appealing to N64 enthusiasts that don't already have a HDMI mod (current mods aren't cheap and require soldering to install) or people that really want to play their old carts for that nostalgia hit.

I'd argue that type of person would see the price of an analogue system, then proceed to go on eBay for an N64 and a cheap composite adapter.
