the original reason i was looking into that btw is the increasing possibility that i might have to try reimplementing at least some subset of xboo functionality myself.... my attempts to hack xboo communicator were hitting a bit of a brick wall when i tried it on a more up to date linux distro and it would only segfault. and in any case its not a sustainable solution lets face it
well I was just looking into how the xboo and gblink cables work and i realised there was no fundamental need for the two applications to actually need differently wired cables, they're just using different pins for the same purpose... so i've added xboo compatibility to gblinkdx. meaning if you're a weirdo with extremely specific needs like me you don't need to keep two separate cables around anymore

Oh, hi! It's you!
I must be doing well,
watching out for fires.
There isn't even a little bit
of fire here.
Yes, it's a safe world.

I got it working by hex editing the port address in the executable

Thank you!
I'll eat this.
(munch, munch, GULP!)!
Phew, you saved me.
This is the only way I can thank you.
Please take my musical instrument.
was looking into the same being possible with my GBA multiboot dumping setup...........lol
that one depends on abandoned closed-source program Xboo Communicator to act as the PC client & that doesn't allow you to configure the port so fuck me i guess. i'm already stuck using linux for it because theres no way to get raw port access on 64bit windows without a library which i have no way to make it use
well i just updated my pc-gameboy linking program to support custom port mappings meaning you can use it with a parallel port on an expansion card rather than needing a 20 year old computer and/or rare modern motherboard with legacy ports on it

What gaming consoles (or computers) did you play on as a kid? — Amiga 1200 was my first but I probably spent more time with creative software like Deluxe Paint than any games. I did enjoy some of the (simpler) puzzle/strategy… https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112983663644421990

Found it.
You have to hack the palette to make it appear correctly, but there's a hidden image located off-screen in Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit! (1994) for the Super Nintendo.
Are there any clone consoles that you’re desperate to own but haven’t yet been able to find? — In terms of hardware clones not really. But I would quite like to get hold of any Sunplus-hardware plug n play consoles with Nice... https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112979196899539971
What's your lionsona origin story? — Back when I was vaguely "into furry" but didn't have a proper fursona I'd got into the habit of saying "rawr" a lot and a friend picked up on it and started calling me lion and I just... https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/112978955311807261
