DS games/software that also used the GBA slot led to a few interesting “cartridges”

DS Rumble pak is pretty awesome. You can put it in a regular GBA (any moddel) and, using the GameCube link cable, connect it to the home brew Gameboy Interface, GBI with Swiss loader for GameCube. GBI will connect to the gba allowing you to use it as a controller. With the rumble pak installed, games like drill dozer or any others that have rumble features on gameboy player will have perfectly functional force feedback.

@exodus#21273 Hu Card: Origins

51

I‘ve got this flashcard, but it’s in a box somewhere and wasn't about to dig it out.

Jango Fett approved.
53

Since no one else is posting it, and mine is buried under my bed somewhere, I found a tweet from Frank woohoo!

I wonder why this was the only clear famicom game?

54

Oh hey!

I almost forgot about this cool wooden cart that was posted on the IC twitter.

@SuperEffective#21582 :000 I have dreamed of crafting like, some Baltic Birch into a DMG shell using a cnc machine or something, far in the future, like for my kids or something.

Haven't seen wonderswan yet. These are as cool looking to me as Hu Cards
57

@bryan#22339 The wonderswan carts are gorgeous. I also recently learned that The Benesse Pocket Challenge V2, a Japanese language learning device, shares the cart format (as well as much of the internal hardware) of the Wonderswan. These carts look so cool:

Something about the translucent color variations and little plastic slipcases remind me of MiniDisc, which remains the coolest form of media I think I will ever encounter.

58

@kory#22341 oh yeah, them minidiscs always had a vibe to em huh. I used to love seeing em in movies. It was always used as a cool prop for the hacker guys, or some sort of tech related thing wherw it held some top secret info.

59

Famicom Disk System games are really neat. I love the “Nintendo” carved right into it, and the case is cool. Plus, the ability to take it to a kiosk and put a new game on it!

@milo#22506 because of the shading of this image, until I zoom in that relief in the disk absolutely looks like it says “NINTERDO” and that’s hilarious

also this post made me think of the NOC disk from the original Mission Impossible movie, which is a pretty simple thing but I thought looked like the epitome of super cool high tech awesomeness as a kid. [When I just searched for it, all I could find was this auction for... apparently the actual prop?](https://propstoreauction.com/m/lot-details/index/catalog/169/lot/47163/)

That’s awesome.

61

@milo#22506 Yeah the Famicom Disks were so cool! I would like to own one as a novelty, but repairing and maintaining the actual console sounds like a bit of a pain. My favorite feature is the rudimentary copy protection afforded by that giant Nintendo indentation you mentioned (there were little tabs in the console that needed to slot into the logo for the disk to load). Cloners figured this one out pretty easily though:

@SuperEffective#22380 I would be lying if I said I never slipped an MD into the front pocket of my jacket and felt like a top secret cyberpunk spy hacker

@kory#22526

Wow that's really interesting! That's the game pirate equivalent of a disguise with a really fake mustache.
