An Android application for experimenting with adaptive icons.

This app finds all installed apps sporting an adaptive icon and displays them in a grid. It then allows you to toggle different mask shapes (approximating how the icon might display on different devices) and explore visual effects may be applied. Currently offered:

  • Layer translation parallax based on scroll
  • Layer scale parallax based on touch

A settings sheet allows customization of these effects. Please note that these effects are purely illustrative and do not reflect any future feature plans. They are fun though 😁.

This app only runs on API26+ devices.

👉 Download APK 👈

After four years of uncertainty, an EU Commission proposal to permit individual countries to opt out of allowing the planting of biotech drops may be approved by the end of the year. According to a report by Inside U.S .Trade, Italian Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina recently told the European Parliament the Italian presidency of the Council of the EU plans to begin negotiations with Parliament. Regardless of the outcomes of the talks, the EU policies on biotech crops will not become less controversial.

The EU Commission first made its proposal in July 2010 to permit countries to not allow the cultivation of EU-approved biotech crops. The reasoning was that by providing assurances that countries would not be required to allow planting of biotech crops, they would not oppose approvals for the rest of the EU. Many industry people and political watchers have questioned whether it is politically possible for an EU country official to vote for approval of a biotech crop at the EU level while opposing it for planting at home. The U.S. Agricultural Attaches in the EU have identified a group of opposed countries (Austria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, and Slovenia) that believe that biotech crop cultivation could not coexist with other types of agriculture. They would be dooming their agricultures to fall further and further behind the rest of the EU if others used biotech crops and they did not.

Under the current political structure of the EU, the Council of EU governments and the European Parliament must work out their differences and present a common plan to the Commission. Those are the negotiations referred to by the Italian Agriculture Minister. The European Parliament in June 2011 passed a version of the cultivation proposal that included banning biotech crops for environmental reasons. The Commission is opposed to that language because the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is in charge of making safety assessments under EU law. If the EFSA had food safety or environmental concerns, the biotech crop would never be sent to the EU Council for approval.

The EU Council proposal approved in June allows governments to invoke a range of reasons for opting out related to environmental or agricultural policy objectives; land use; town and country planning; socio-economic impacts; the proximity to non-GMO crops; and public policy. The EU Commission would also have the responsibility to work with individual country governments and biotech firms on requests that firms tailor their cultivation approval applications to specifically exclude countries that do not want biotech crops grown. If an agreement could not be worked out, the country could then choose to opt out. The optimists hope a tailoring agreement would always be worked out. Both supporters and opponents of biotech crops believe this provision will lead to lawsuits.

The June decision by the EU Council was very much a political compromise. The EU Commission was stung by a September 2013 ruling by the European Court of Justice that the Commission was negligent in taking too long to approve biotech crops for commercial use. In a March meeting of the Council, Germany and the United Kingdom dropped their previous opposition to a compromise plan offered by the Greek presidency of the EU. They had previously formed a blocking minority with France, Belgium, Cyprus and Slovenia. Germany’s new government had not taken a position on the issue, and the UK supported the plan because it returned power to the individual country governments. The U.S. Ag Attaches have labeled the UK as an ‘adopter’ country that will likely plant biotech crops if given a chance and Germany as ‘conflicted’ with major groups on both sides. Germany had allowed biotech corn to be planted in the past, but has since banned it.

All of this activity applies only to biotech crops for planting in the EU. Problems with approvals for food and feed use continue. According to the U.S. Ag Attaches in the EU, about 70 percent of soybean meal consumed in the EU is imported and 80 percent of this meal is from biotech soybeans. The U.S. is the second largest exporter of soybeans to the EU and the third largest exporter of soybean meal. It       requires 46 months on average to approve a biotech product. One third of this time occurs after EFSA issues its initial opinion to the EU Commission. The Commission has waited on average 10 months before requesting a vote of the EU Council versus the prescribed three months.

This all may be a political exercise in futility. Under the WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, member governments are obligated to impose planting restrictions on a crop only to protect human, animal and plant health based on a scientific risk assessment. The EFSA has already determined the biotech crops at issue are safe.

The U.S. Ag Attaches in the EU estimate that corn plantings in the EU in 2013 were about 24 million acres, less than one-third of the corn acreage of the U.S. Plantings of biotech corn were estimated at 340,000 acres, 1.5 percent of EU plantings, with 90 percent of the acreage in Spain and 30 percent of its plantings. Other EU countries planting biotech corn in 2013 include Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia. Other countries in the potential ‘adopters’ group that could plant biotech corn beyond the UK, include Denmark, the Netherlands and Ireland. France, Germany and Poland with large areas of crops planted are in the ‘conflicted’ group. Austria, Hungary and Italy are significant corn growers in the ‘opposed’ group.

The disagreements in Europe over biotech crops leave the EU somewhat out of sync with changes over time. Ten or fifteen years ago some people in the EU had plausible worries over biotech crops which were defensible, but eventually proven to be unfounded. As groups like the EFSA have studied biotech crops they have concluded the crops are safe for livestock and human consumption and are not a threat to the environment.   Real world experience of 4 billion acres planted and feeding livestock and poultry for 18 years have shown the same results. The EU needs to explore other ways to respond to citizen concerns because this approach does not appear be addressing substantive issues.

Jackie Strano and Dr. Jocelyn Elders

In 1994 at a United Nations conference on AIDS, when asked whether masturbation ought to be promoted as an alternative to riskier forms of sex, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders replied, “I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught.”  This simple statement cost Elders her job and revealed the depth of shame around sexuality and masturbation, even at the expense of public health.

On September 29th, 2013 Good Vibrations Executive Vice President Jackie Strano had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Joycelyn Elders at CatalystCon in Burbank, CA. Strano honored her courage and informed her that Good Vibrations launched Masturbation month in response to her brave statement.

Good Vibrations, the trusted San Francisco-based company that takes pride in providing accurate information on sexuality and quality sex toys for grown-ups, founded National Masturbation Month in 1995 in the wake of the controversy surrounding the firing of former Clinton administration Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who evoked conservative wrath for her practical acknowledgment of masturbation. Realizing that one simple, sensible mention of solo pleasuring was enough to lose this prominent woman her job convinced Good Vibrations staff that this most basic and accessible form of sex needed support.

For the last 19 years Good Vibrations has dedicated the month of May as “Masturbation Month” in homage to Elders’ bravery and commitment to pleasure, sex positivity and sex education, and to remember the sound advice from ‘America’s Doctor.’ Elders is distinguished not only for her candid and sensible views on sex education, but also for being the country’s first African-American and first female Surgeon General.  Dedicating a month in her honor seemed like a fitting tribute.

Others have embraced Good Vibrations’ declaration of May as Masturbation month, but Good Vibrations pays tribute most sincerely to Dr. Elders’ work with dedicated education around the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, transmission of HIV and other STD’s, and sharing the merits of pleasure in the realm of sex education. Elders inspired Good Vibrations, and the company is happy to inspire others.

“Dr. Elders is one of my personal sex positive icons for her bravery and for telling a simple and necessary truth during a climate of intense fear around sexuality in this country’s history. I was so honored to meet her and let her personally know that her life’s work is celebrated every year by us and means so much to me”, says Strano who was part of the Opening Keynote Plenary Address at CatalystCon, the vital and compelling conference held twice a year on alternating coasts. Dr. Elders delivered the Closing Keynote address and confirmed her commitment to helping people and was pleased to hear about Good Vibrations’ work in the field of sex education and providing a safe place to access accurate information and quality sex toys.

Good Vibrations

Good Vibrations is the premiere sex-positive, women-principled adult toy retailer in the US. An iconic brand and one of the world's first sex toy shops to focus specifically on women's pleasure and sexual education, Good Vibrations was founded by Joani Blank in 1977 to provide women with a safe, welcoming and non-judgmental place to shop for erotic toys. Good Vibrations has always included all people across the gender spectrum, and is a place where customers can come for education, high quality products, and information promoting sexual health, pleasure and empowerment. Customers can shop Good Vibrations' expertly curated product selection across any of its nine retail locations or on the website, where they can also find a wealth of information pertaining to sexual pleasure, exploration and education.

Nurses Supporting Abortion? Not In My Name

March 16, 2018

Nurse or nursing student? Please sign the letter against any RCN move to support the introduction of abortion on demand, for any reason.

Janet Davies, the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nurses (RCN), has announced that a panel of RCN staff and members will be deciding on a positioning statement for the RCN on the complete removal of all legal restriction and sanctions regarding abortion. If these measures were to be implemented, it would mean the introduction of abortion on demand, for any reason, to at least 28 weeks and possibly up to birth. Ann Furedi, the CEO of abortion provider BPAS, who are running the campaign to ‘decriminalise’ abortion, has made it clear that they are aiming for the latter, the introduction of abortion up to birth. The Royal College of Midwives’ position in support of ‘decriminalisation’, which saw a large public backlash when it was adopted, has subsequently been used extensively by abortion provider BPAS as a key plank in their political lobbying for the introduction of abortion, on demand, for any reason up to birth. Ahead of this panel deciding the position, the RCN are running a ‘survey’ of the RCN membership which does not allow for members of the RCN to vote on the specific wording of the final positioning statement. It instead asks a single question on whether members support or oppose the broad concept of ‘decriminalisation’ and only commits that members’ input will ‘inform’ the work that will lead to the final position this panel will decide on. If you are a nurse or nursing student, please take action by putting your name to the public joint letter (link below) to the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nurses, Janet Davies, to voice your concern about this extreme move.

About Technology

High Temperature Pyrolysis Reactor

Pyrolysis - thermal decomposition of organic matter without oxygen at high temperature.

Garbage is processed in a reactor without access to oxygen at temperatures up to 1300 ° C without throwing dioxin, furan and heavy metals into the atmosphere.

When recycling 75% of garbage is processed into synthesis gas, 25% of residue is coke, pure carbon which is used as fuel for industry and is sold as a separate kind of raw material.

Reactors are manufactured in Germany and comply with all German Federal Emission Laws 17 Bim SchV (EU Directive 2000/176 EG) and comply with all regulations on emissions of harmful substances.

Test garbage recycling

In February 2018, successfully conducted test garbage recycling on a reduced copy of the reactor and determined the qualitative and quantitative parameters of the synthesis gas.

See test result Watch video

Application of technology

Industrial reactors are used to produce synthesized gas in companies such as «Audi», «Volkswagen», «Mercedes-Benz», «Boeing» and other companies.

Invisible DIY, finding heroes, writing and autumn outside

It been a busy week!

Today I relaxed by covering another two wall areas with thin woollen jackets. Our house has a mere nine solid inches of brick between us and the winter storms, so each year we add another layer here or there or another piece of secondary glazing. Some panes arrived with the new magnetic attachment system which works brilliantly (though to my embarrassment I had the dimensions of one of them wrong).

I needed to relax from the excitement of two days of Internet connections. Pierre Lagacé, of Lest We Forget, found a website for me with the story of my airman uncle’s Commanding Officer ( I have been in touch with his son, Marcus, and had a a wonderful and productive email exchange and the blog ( has now become a rich repository of Mosquito and meteorological lore of WWII.

Both these activities have been punctuations in my all out blitz on the manuscript of Writing to a Ghost: Letters to the River Kwai 1941-45. A few weeks ago we visited the museum where some of the materials – letters to my mother from the wives and mothers of my father’s Unit, all Far East POWs – are housed. This time we photographed all the photos my mother had collected. I have been able to put faces to nearly half the men in the story. They are brilliant, but some of them make me weep.  I have also been following a friend’s advice as I worked over the manuscript.

Meanwhile, the sun has come out again and the air is warm, and autumn is raging outside. I want to be in the garden. (We did have lunch in the garden.)

Catching up… and falling behind

Progress on one front is always balanced by a lag on another. The sun only shines at erratic intervals in the UK, you need to get out there and get to work. In the last two weeks we have reduced this DSCN7002to this.DSCN7095

I have spread it round the garden and some parts are done (darling crocus – Blue Pearl).

Others are half done – the veg bed.

DSCN7100While others are hardly begun…

The DIY is still pending. If you think watching paint dry is boring, trying watching plaster… DSCN7042  DSCN7107
And yet we have made progress in one room.

On the writing front Alison Williams has   added to her review of Border Line on Rosie Amber’s site, by giving me an interview on her own. and I have done some work on my Far East POW book.

Meanwhile the drizzle of emails has reached blizzard proportions, but the sun is shining and I must get out.

Tomorrow garden, writing, DIY or blog and email catch-up? I’ll have to roll a dice, check the colour of the sky or design a grid to show which is most urgent. This appeared two evenings ago. DSCN7058

GST : Further clarification on tax in reverse charge on gold ornaments

Share this Post

New Delhi : In the GST Ki Master Class held yesterday, in one of the replies given to an on-the-spot-question, it was informed that purchase of old gold jewellery by a jeweller from a consumer will be subject to GST @ 3% under reverse charge mechanism in terms of the provisions contained in Section 9(4) of the CGST Act, 2017.

On further examination, it is felt that the issue needs to be clarified.

Section 9(4) of the said Act mandates that tax on supply of taxable goods (gold in this case) by an unregistered supplier (an individual in this case) to a registered person (the jeweller in this case) will be paid by the registered person (the jeweller in this case) under reverse charge mechanism. This provision, however, has to be read in conjunction with section 2(105) read with section 7 of the said Act. Section 2 (105) defines supplier as a person supplying the goods or services. Section 7 provides that a supply is a transaction for a consideration by a person in the course or furtherance of business.

ALSO READ : CBI raids at Income Tax Commissioner’s residence

Even though the sale of old gold by an individual is for a consideration, it cannot be said to be in the course or furtherance of his business (as selling old gold jewellery is not the business of the said individual), and hence does not qualify to be a supply per se. Accordingly, the sale of old jewellery by an individual to a jeweller will not attract the provisions of Section 9(4) and jeweller will not be liable to pay tax under reverse charge mechanism on such purchases. However, if an unregistered supplier of gold ornaments sells it to registered supplier, the tax under RCM will apply.

Zepur Zarco campaign

Zepur Zarco snip

This from our friends at the Central America Women’s Network (CAWN)

A military detachment was placed in the Sepur Zarco community located in the Polochic area, where, since the colonial times, there was demand for land by indigenous communities. The guerrilla forces were not very active. Instead the strong military presence there illustrates the alliance between the army and the economic elites and land-owners to dominate the communities and to ensure that land was expropriated from them.

For six years (1982-1986), the function the Sepur Zarco military detachment was to provide leisure and rest to the troops. Captured women from the indigenous communities, mainly widows after their husbands were forcibly disappeared, were forced to serve the troops, washing the soldiers’ clothes, cooking and feeding them, and serving them sexually.

The fact that the women were organized in shifts in military detachments, provided with contraception to avoid getting pregnant as a result of the rapes and that sexual violence was also used as torture to obtain information, proves that the sexual violence was planned and administratively organized by the army. Women’s bodies were used to send messages of terror to whole communities. The planning proves that these events did not take place in isolation.

Bile Acid Therapy for BAAT

In a previous post (From theory to bedside practice | gutsandgrowth), I reviewed an article which described the diagnosis of a rare inborn error of bile acid metabolism –bile acid CoA:amino acid N-acyl transferase (BAAT).  A new report (Hepatology 2015; 61: 268-74) describes treatment and outcome in five patients with BAAT (I am thankful for acronyms!).

Treatment with 15 mg/kg of glycocholic acid (GCA) improved duodenal bile acid concentrations (to 23.3 ± 19.1 mmol/L).  Patients also received oral vitamin D2 (1000 IU/kg) and tocopherol (100 IU/kg).  With the combination of GCA and fat soluble vitamin provision, there was improvement in growth (3/3 prepubertal patients) and in fat-soluble vitamin absorption.

Bottomline: In patients with neonatal cholestasis growth failure, or fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, identification of BAAT with fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry allows for institution of GCA which is efficacious and safe.

Also noted: FDA approves Cholbam to treat rare bile acid synthesis disorders FDA announcement 3/17/15, an excerpt: the first FDA approved treatment for pediatric and adult patients with bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects, and for patients with peroxisomal disorders (including Zellweger spectrum disorders). Patients with these rare, genetic, metabolic conditions exhibit manifestations of liver disease, steatorrhea (presence of fat in the stool) and complications from decreased fat-soluble vitamin absorption. Individuals with these rare disorders lack the enzymes needed to synthesize cholic acid, a primary bile acid normally produced in the liver from cholesterol. The absence of cholic acid in these patients leads to reduced bile flow, accumulation of potentially toxic bile acid intermediates in the liver (cholestasis), and malabsorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the diet. If untreated, patients fail to grow and can develop life-threatening liver injury. Cholbam is approved as an oral treatment for children aged three weeks and older, and adults.

The Districts @ Rock & Roll Hotel

Photo Credit: Caitlin Mccan

Rock & Roll Hotel is a venue that needs no introduction to those in the DMV. Hosting an eclectic mix of concerts and dance sessions as well as having a more traditional bar for the casual night crawler, it pretty much has something for everyone. On Friday the 27th, it played host to the four piece indie-americana group The Districts.

Shark Week, a local indie rock outfit with a stoner aesthetic got the show started and were by far the more memorable of the two opening acts. Sporting a psychedelic silk button down straight out of the ‘70s with a vest to match, the lead singer managed to keep his small audience engaged, if only because his outfit was so unquestionably rad. Also, their drummer had a broken wrist, but still managed to play the full set without a hitch and threw in some killer fills, which I believe is a literal example of what it means to be “Rock & Roll.”

The second opener was a New Jersey band called Pine Barons. There were two main problems with Pine Barons, none of which were really their fault or relevant to their musical credibility. Nonetheless, they had a negative impact on the show as a whole. First off, they took about twenty minutes in their sound check, and to be cliché, ain’t nobody got time for that. Then to follow that, their set as a whole was just too long. When two bands are slated to open, you don’t expect the second band to play for a full hour, only 15 minutes shorter than the main act. By about halfway through their set, they had lost the crowd and this reviewer through no particular fault of their own. Everyone was ready for The Districts.

So at 11:15 it was finally time for the headliners. The Districts are everything you would expect a relatively unknown indie band with some classic rock influences from suburban PA to be: Four unassuming, slightly goofy, white guys who all wear flannel with two guitars, a bass, and drums. Though they lack the swagger and lyrical ability other indie bands like them (The Strokes, Cage the Elephant, OK GO etc.), they certainly don’t lack energy or talent. Lead singer Rob Grote puts his all into his vocals and not a song goes by without his killing a guitar riff and jumping around on stage. The Districts are a young band, new to touring across the country, and it showed in their set. After nearly every song the band would stop to retune, sometimes taking what seemed like a full songs worth of pause with nothing to fill it. They offered very little in the way of crowd conversation except the simple platitudes of “Thanks for being here” etc. They have a messiness on stage that gives their concert a bit of a house show type feel which adds an element of intimacy. But, they also seem too insistent to add a guitar solo to every song, which gets repetitive over the course of an entire set. A final problem with The Districts set came from the crowd. There are always a few spoilers in the crowd who ruin a good slow song by shouting out non sequiturs or other annoying things, but this crowd seemed completely ready to dismiss any slower song, ignoring some of the great, personal and particularly striking lyrics (at least to a fellow child of the PA exurbs) in songs like “Suburban Smell” and “Bold.”  These were all relatively minor annoyances, however. The show definitely had many more high points including literally the entire room jumping to “Funeral Beds,” the bands biggest single. Getting the crowd involved in many of their songs, the best parts of show were by far singing along to the usually angst filled choruses about long distance relationships or feeling your life torn in two different directions.  The Districts thrive on that energy and angst, and it makes for a good show. But, the band has some ground to cover, both musically and with their showmanship if they hope to ever be more than a small time indie band with a few good singles.

USB reader for SNES game carts

Reader, [Matthias_H], sent in a video about his USB adapter for SNES game carts. All you have to do is plug in the SNES game cartridge and USB cable, then a ROM file of the game shows up as an external storage device on your computer. After that, you can play the ROM with your choice of emulator. We emailed [Matthias] asking for more information, and he quickly replied with a very nice writeup about the hack that is pasted below.

Update: [Matthias] launched a site for the “snega2usb” with updates on the development of the board and a FAQ.

[Matthias] writes:

Part list:
Atmel AT90USBKey Evaluation Board (Digikey – $30)
FCI 10046971-003LF 70-pos. 2-row connector (Digikey – $4.76)
a little piece of prototyping board to solder the connector onto
thousands of little wires

I used the following reference documents:
(SNES cart pinout and ROM memory map)
(FAT16/32 specs)

The somewhat ugly cable solution is due to the USBKey’s weird choice for .05″ pitch port connectors, for which I was not able to find suitable pin headers and ribbon cable connectors. The exact pinout is a bit weird and not worth publishing yet, since many of the I/O pins are in fact shared by the onboard peripherals, so I have to spread the address and data bits among the available pins. A cleaner version with all parts on a custom PCB is on its way, as well as support for the Sega Genesis (working hard towards the all-in-one solution :-))

Code is based on the Atmel USB Mass Storage example app, to which I added a module for ROM access and a read-only FAT16 (the latter was hard-coded in a hex editor – FUN!). Again, development is still at a very early stage (I tested this on exactly one game cart), and as of now, redistribution of the source is in fact prohibited by Atmel’s proprietary license.

I’m not quite satisfied with the data rate yet. As of now, newer-generation console carts (N64 etc), while absolutely possible to read out, would take forever to load. The device is running at USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps), and I am not aware of any cheap solution that offers high-speed USB (480 Mbps).

Open issues:
– testing with as many different games as possible (feel free to donate your least favorite game carts! :-))
– issuing a refresh when the cartridge is removed/replaced! The USB Mass Storage protocol uses the SCSI command set, so the device cannot send requests (“refresh directory, file may have changed”) to the host.
– optimization for speed
– add compatibility for HiROM games

By the way, I’ve never done anything like this before. The fact that it was so easy kind of scares the hell out of me ;-)

I think this is as exhaustive a description as I can give for now.
Hope you’re fine with it.

82 thoughts on “USB reader for SNES game carts

  1. @foley: Please name
    (1) ONE eSATA capable microcontroller that is within reach for hobbyist developers and
    (2) ONE smartphone or portable open handheld with eSATA interface

    There you go. (1) Impossible and (2) useless :-)

  2. all-in-one system? that would have about … atari, nes, snes, master system (card and cart), genesis, n64… we’re looking at about 7 or more cart slots. That’s ambitious! and I want one if it gets pulled off.

      Starting from the second generation, an all-in-one game cart reading system would need 26 cart slots.

      Second generation: 6 cart slots
      – Fairchild Channel F
      – Atari 2600
      – Magnavox Odyssey²
      – Intellivision
      – Colecovision
      – Atari 5200

      Third generation: 4 cart slots (maybe 5, as I seem to remember that Famicom and NES carts used different connectors)
      – Famicom/NES
      – Mark III/Master System
      – Atari 7800
      – Atari XEGS

      Fourth generation: 4 cart slots
      – PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16
      – Mega Drive/Genesis
      – Neo Geo
      – Super Famicom/Super NES

      Fifth generation: only 3 cart slots since a lot of systems switched to optical discs in that generation
      – Atari Jaguar
      – Sega 32X
      – Nintendo 64

      Handheld systems: 9 cart slots
      – Game Boy
      – Atari Lynx
      – Game Gear
      – Virtual Boy
      – Game Boy Advance
      – Neo Geo Pocket
      – WonderSwan
      – Nintendo DS
      – PS Vita
      (TurboExpress is not counted since it uses the same carts as the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16)
      (SEGA Nomad is not counted since it uses the same carts as the Mega Drive/Genesis)

      And I’m sure I forgot a few systems even though I tried to read most of the wikipedia page.

      1. Some of those systems are backward-compatible, where the newer connector can read older carts. So you wouldn’t need quite that many. I’ll leave you to work that out yourself.

  3. @sly: Don’t forget the handhelds…. :) No, seriously: I’m doing exactly the platforms that I think are worth it (also, of course they need to be documented somewhere). If you think I should think your favorite console is worth it, you should start sending me game cartridges NOW ;-)

  4. First off awesome…
    Secondly awesome…

    Third i pondered doing this back in my days of high school, the idea was to fill a bunch of 5.25 drive slots in a computer with different game consoles and play directly off the original carts. I am glad someone has more initiative than me.

    Forth a great addition but seems like it would be much more work. Make it so you can write the save file directly to it. This would probably need a custom emu or special decode on your usb board because i don’t think emus save the same format as the games itself.

    Fifth… Don’t stop.

  5. @Matthias_H

    1) I have no idea what your price range is or capabilities.

    2) I didn’t realize that was the intended use. I assumed if you were going to be using bulky cartridges that portability was not the intent.

    My point was to see if it was a possibility. If it does not meet the requirements of your intended use then that is all well and good. This does not make it impossible nor useless.

  6. @foley: Just look at the sophisticated cabling, and you will get a pretty good estimate about my price range and capabilities ;-) Portability was in fact a key issue when I came up with the idea. The smaller the host device, the larger the eyes of the people around you when you plug a huge SNES cartridge into it ;-)

    @tordre: (ad savegames to the device) Probably not. Most emulators I’ve met tend to store savegames in their own directory. Also, this would mean I have to add a considerable amount of rewritable external memory to the circuit. Strictly sticking to a read-only structure keeps the effort on a tolerable level.

    @nubie: Lawsuits? Please elaborate. The filename and size are taken straight from the info header on the cartridge. This will probably break once the first Japanese cart comes along :-)

    @everyone: Genesis support is definitely coming, but for now I guess this is it. Perhaps someday I’ll build a limited number of overpriced all-in-one readers coated with 24kt sheet gold and encrusted with diamonds ;-)

  7. Very nice hack, I really like to see this cross-platform interface. It would be interesting to have a modular socket for the carts and maybe a modular socket for controllers. This could be a method to allow gamers to play nostalgia games on their PC!

    I don’t see any room for lawsuits, as long as he doesn’t release any copy written code.

  8. foley, i think we are not alone, me and my friends have all dreamed of the ultimate universal retro system.

    Since i am the more technical of the bunch i put way more thought into it. The one thing we could never agree on would be is what control will we use. One of my friends suggest make the ultimate controller for convenient use with all systems emulated. I was all for having the right ports for all the old controller, but that would make too much clutter.

  9. Nice work!
    I love projects like this, i’ve never started with just an idea though.
    Truthfully It’s a just for fun project right? So anyone saying it isnt useful or that it’s too hard are looking at it the wrong way or are not the people this is targeted at.

    I havnt looked at the datasheets, but I’ve got heaps of Atmel ATMEGA8-16’s which were cheap on ebay.. do these have the capabilities required for this project?

    would it be possible some time down the track to copy save data to and from the cartridge? I own all the original consoles for my games and I really dont enjoy playing games emulated, but I sure would love to back up my saves.. I’m a collector and I have enough games that it often takes me years to get back into a game I’ve started. more than once I’ve gone back to find the battery in the cart had died and lost my save.

  10. Very nice hack.I can see this as a nice way to get rom images from your own carts instead of ripping off a unreliable site.
    Which means if you own the cart no real legal issues … {not many to begin with}
    Support for Sega sounds great ;because there are a ton of super cool Sega games out there.
    Having more than one cart slot will pose an issue with the current controller being used etc …
    Perhaps others have tried this before and would like to share some tips or a bit of their source code that they wrote from scratch ;)

  11. @thecityspiders – you want source code candy? Here you are:

    // hard-coded FAT16 reserved area (sector 0)
    const U8 Sector0[] = “\xEB\x3C\x90MSDOS5.0\x00\x02\x01\x02\x00\
    \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x29\x12\x34\x56\x78NO NA\
    ME FAT16 \x33\xC9\
    [more zeros]

    // How to assemble a long filename from SNES cartridge name field. These are the offsets in Sector 256 for the 21 letters (plus 5 more for extension and terminating null) of the game title
    const U8 VfatAddr[] = “\

  12. Seriously: During the early debugging phase, I compared “my” SMW image on a binary level to various ROMs of what I thought should be the same game. Turns out that many of the roms that can be obtained through said channels are in fact far from original rips. You find all kinds of glitches and watermarks, but also signatures of other tools:
    Lunar Magic Version 1.51 ©2002 FuSoYa, Defender of Relm I am Naaall, and I love fiiiish!

  13. @matthias_h – Nice work, and clever fake-out of the FAT tables. Another way to get them would be to copy the tables from an SD card using a hex editor (my lazy method).

    Converting the game title and using it for the file name is super sweet. I’d probably just expose a single file called ‘game.rom’. It’s easier, and Microsoft claims active patents on the use of long file names in the FAT file system (one reason why digital cameras stick with 8.3 naming format).

  14. Cool!
    I was thinking of “making” a N64, using a small PC, some Controler to USB leads and some ROMS, if I could get this working then I can skip the ROMs!

    (I have an N64, I want to be able to add stuff like high res textures and online play. Also I want to be able to claim I got my N64 to play DVDs :P)

  15. @Matthias_H

    Right on man, I meant no disrespect. Great job. I was just thinking of a device that you could plug into your comp and have just sit there. Then you could have one possibly with multiple cartridge ports and a built in emulator, kind of like an all in one classic game station. I think I was dreaming outside of the original design ideals. LOL I just got carried away.

  16. @ian: Using the same filename for all games will get you in trouble with the savegame handling, since most emulators relate their nomenclature to the ROM name. Since Microsoft has filed a patent infringement lawsuit related to FAT exactly once (TomTom), I don’t think I am in big danger here… Otherwise, I’m simply going to switch to unique 8-char hashes, retaining the possibility for savegame identification.

    @foley: No offense taken and none intended from my side. My only PC happens to be this laptop (with an OpenPandora to come soon, hopefully), so this is what I am developing for.

    @michaelb: Just add zeros until you have a total of 512 bytes :-)

  17. That pretty awesome dude, it is amazing that it was that easy. This has the potential to be the next “big thing”, if I were you I would try to secure your work so some company doesn’t pop out of nowhere and gobble up your idea.

  18. Beautiful. A hack I like. Could you ever do the opposite setup, ie make your own cuttle cart that just draws in the data from a system?

    I would love to see this setup for all consoles. You would have the ultimate cart tester & hybrid emulator(ie real hardware carts, software-driven console).

  19. @jiremi: no, it doesn’t, and since I am not a homebrew person, this is not on my list even in the long term. In the limited time I have, there are only so many things I can focus on, and I hope nobody will mind if I pick the ones that matter the most to myself.

    Which are, as of now:
    – reading game carts correctly
    – getting more games to work
    – adding genesis/megadrive support
    – custom PCB and a nice case
    – possibly organizing a group order for kits

    The following, among many others, are definitely not on my list:
    – fighting with bitchy games that I don’t care about and not even the SWC can do
    – write support of any kind (flash ROM, savestates)

    Which doesn’t mean these things will never happen. I mean, I will hardly file a patent for connecting 20-year old technology with a bunch of wires, and once the idea is out there, someone might still sit down and do it.

  20. @gerrit: Not these two particular ones. The S-dd1 is a cryptic data compression/decompression chip, so whichever part of the ROM is hidden behind that chip remains mingled or incomplete. Super FX and others should be fine, though.

  21. Neat.

    As far as 480mbps USB 2.0 in a hobbyist microcontroller platform, the Gumstix Overo and the TI Beagleboard both support that speed (both host and client). Though, they are on the upper end of the hobbyist price range, and most would not get one to just to dump carts, unless they collect uber-rares and prototypes.

    Can you give a general area where you are, that way shipping could be figured out if someone wanted to donate carts to you?

  22. @tom61: Beagleboard and Gumstix are of course a possibility, but (1) you would still have to add extra hardware, (2) they are pretty darn expensive and what they offer is a total overkill for a simple cart reader, and (3) it would easily double the power consumption of your mobile device.

    In case someone actually wants to send me games (I wouldn’t mind :-)), I am in Boston MA for another week, but moving back to Germany next Saturday (Jun 27). Address inquiries to hackaday at

    @daniel palmer: Sorry, but I don’t need the reverse of this :)

  23. Awesome little invention, Matthias! I came from Kotaku. This device would be awesome with a little pine box case! Does this device heat up at all? Perhaps cooling would help with the slow downs if you have a high-speed USB, etc. I don’t know much about electronics.

    Hope everything works out with this. I would love to be able to pick one of these up. Keep up the good work!

  24. That device is really cool ^ ^

    I have a question for you! If u can access the game on the cart – could u also put your own (converted) games on it or just use it as external memor like usb sticks??

  25. @alo: Please familiarize yourself with the difference between reading data from vs. writing data to a device…. you can’t write to read-only devices, period.

    again: this is a device for l e g a l l y taking games that are stored on a read-only cartridge, and playing them on your computer. a device that stores your illegal (however modified you or others may have them) roms to a writable cartridge for playing them on the console, while technically possible, is exactly the opposite of what I did / will ever do.

  26. This is incredible! Please give us as much detail as possible, and when you make something sellable make sure I can buy it here in the UK!
    I’d also really love to have a Gameboy version – you should set up a getsatisfaction account so people can vote on features & console support!

  27. So to all of you who are intellegent, forgive me I don’t know a lot about this stuff, and forgive me further if someone already sugested this, but could a posible solution be firewire 800 I know it is suposed to be faster than usb 2?

Parsnip Brownies…

The ingredients in this chocolate and parsnip brownie work beautifully together – I dare you to try it. The sweetness of the parsnip perfectly complements the rich, dark chocolate. Plus, if they have parsnip in, they surely count as one of your five a day, right?

Serves 8
Preparation time 10 minutes

Cooking time 10-15 minutes

  • 150g of chopped parsnip,
  • 50g of Doisy and Dam Chocolate (any will be fine for this),
  • 120g of egg whites or two whole eggs,
  • 50g of sweetener (I used a granulated one but honey, or similar, would work fine),
  • 100g of Buckwheat flour,
  • 100ml of milk (I used a strawberry flavoured one),
  • 2 tablespoons of cacao powder,
  • ½ a teaspoon of baking powder.

  1. Grease and line a small baking tin (I actually used a loaf tin),
  2. Pre heat the oven to 160C,
  3. In you blender, pop all of the ingredients.
  4. Blend until they are well combined,
  5. Now pour the mixture in to your prepared tin and pop in to the oven for around 30 minutes or until the brownies are firm to touch,
  6. Take out of the tin and then leave to cool on a cooling rack,
  7. Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut in to squares.
  8. ENJOY!

UFit drinks… my thoughts.

The sports nutrition industry has become littered with new brands that claim to be the best and provide you with the nutrition to produce ultimate performance. So, when it comes to know what to buy, how good it is and if you can actually trust the brands claims, it can all become a bit mind boggling. So, when I received a lovely looking parcel of protein shakes from UFit drinks, I wanted to see if their ‘on-the-go high protein health & wellness drinks for active men & women’, were as good as they look on the bottle.

The taste test:

  • When trying the drinks, I based their taste on what I feel the flavour ‘normally’tastes like and, coming up trumps, for me was the banana flavour. It tasted SO good; like I was drinking an actual banana shake.

The texture:

  • The chocolate was thick and creamy, just as I like a shake to be
  • None of the shakes were runny, so as a meal replacement, they are ideal because you feel as if you have actually consumed something of substance.

The nutritional content:

  • In the ‘normal’ size bottle, the drinks contain a whopping 22g of protein, 11g of carbs and around 3g of fat; ideal to help you recover post work out.
  • In the UFit 50 drinks, there is 50g of protein for only 336 calories! FIT PRO50 is naturally rich in essential amino acids, the building blocks of your body. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by your body, meaning they must be obtained from foods and drink.  They also contain vitmains and minerals and are low in fat, again, ideal post workout!

Baking, making and creating with UFIT:

  • The drinks are SO versatile to make things with; you can sub any liquid in a mixture for the drink and can make the ultimate protein pancakes.
  • To make the pancakes, simply blend a banana, one UFIT drink and some flour together and then cook in a frying pan!

The price and where to find them:

The importance of meal prep.

I am a big supporter of meal prep. You don’t have to be a body builder, or even a gym goer, to partake, and it saves so much time in the week when you’re busy and making meals for the next day is the last thing you want to do! I know it seems like a gargantuan task, but it’s importance in achieving your goals (however big or small) really can’t be underestimated. Knowing what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat and then preparing your meals is one of important aspects of achieving a healthy, balanced diet.

The key to getting it right is finding a few staples that are quick and easy to prepare yet packed full of healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates. I have a few staple foods (chicken, vegetables, oats and protein powder) that can be used in many, more adventurous ways that don’t allow me to get bored of my midday meals!

Why meal prep?

  1. Save money; buy going on just one food shop, with a list, per week you are not going to be tempted by things that are on offer that you don’t reallllly want!
  2. Save time; cook all your meals in one fowl swoop and that’s it, you’re done!
  3. Keep your meals clean and nutritious so that you stay on track with ease.
  4. Save mid-week stress; you can just come home and relax!

How do I meal prep?

For this, you simply have to make meals in bulk!

  1. The simplest way, for lunch, is to double up your meal from the night before.
  2. Roast a tray of your favourite veg and then separate in to individual tupperware.
  3. Make a meal and freeze it in portions; curry is a great option for this!
  4. Roast multiple chicken breasts and refrigerate until you need them!

Meal prep ideas:

  1. Overnight oats; there are so many options to find online! I like a simple mix of cinnamon, oats, vanilla protein, milk, berries and a sprinkle of granola!
  2. Pancakes/Waffles; a nice treat in the week! You make these in bulk and refrigerate or freeze and then just get out when you want them! Find my staple pancake recipe here! Instead of the lavish toppings, I serve with yogurt and fruit!
  3. Breakfast cookies and loaves; again, I make these on a Sunday to have on both Monday and Tuesday! So quick and simple to make! Head to the loaf cake section on my blog!

  1. Bro food; roasted chicken breast with steamed veg and spinach. Sometimes I add in a hard boiled egg for extra protein.
  2. Fritattas/egg muffins; mix together any eggs and veg that  you fancy, tip in to a muffin tin or baking tray, pour over whisked egg and oven cook until firm to touch!
  3. Chicken, quinoa and veg.
  4. For a vegan option; buddha bowls are great. A mix of roasted veg, lentils and hummus.

  1. Hard boil eggs,
  2. Make energy balls; I love these! Find my favourite recipes here.
  3. Carrot and cucumber sticks dipped in nut butter,
  4. Melon and nuts,
  5. Seeds,
  6. Chirps are great; they are packed full of protein and keep me full for a long time,
  7.  Paleo bakes; blondies, brownies, cookies etc.
  8.  Mug cakes; a mix of egg whites, protein powder, coconut flour, mashed banana and baking powder. Pop in the microwave for 1 and half minutes and then you’re sorted!

How do I know what to buy/prep?

Make a plan! I get out all my favourite cook books, decide what I want to eat that week, make a list and shop away!

I hope this has been of some help!

My January favourites…

For Goodness shakesthese drinks are delicious and are ideal for those of us that consumer our breakfast on the go or need a quick post workout recovery feed.  Not only are they high in protein (around 40g per bottle) but they are fat free, contain around 240 calories per bottle, and only 10g of carbohydrates. I have also used mine as an addition to my healthy bakes; a great high protein substitute to your usual milk choices.

Sukrinbasically, I LOVE SUKRIN products. Not just one of them, but all of them! They are a great addition to sweet and savoury dishes but are also a nutritional powerhouse. The coconut and almond flours are a great substitute for ‘traditional’ flour options as they are naturally high in protein and fibre. I cannot get enough of the cake mix; it is delicious! So light and fluffy which makes it ideal for cakes and pancakes!

Healthy bakes I’ve made using Sukrin

Neat Nutrition; this is a bold statement but I’d go as far to say that this is the best casein protein I have EVER had. It tastes completely natural, makes my cakes go all fluffy and is a brilliant addition to water and flavourings to make a great icing! As stated by Neat Nutrition, Casein is ‘slow releasing to nourish the body over an extended period of time and great to curb hunger between meals. Perfect before bed to help slowly feed muscles while you sleep’, and this I totally agree with!

Jim Jams Spreads; the motto for the company, ‘less sugar, great taste’, is definitely true. These spreads are so tasty and you can eat them without feeling any guilt! Once I open a jar, I cannot be stopped! I have used the chocolate spread as a pancake topping, in healthy bakes, in energy balls.. the list is endless!

Jim Jams as a pancake topping!

Lizi’s Granolathe fact that there are so many options as to which granola variation of this brand you can have, is the first reason this granola is a winner for. The second is that it tastes amazing; the texture is like no other granola as it isn’t too crunchy and in clumps but instead is more like a muesli. My favourite has to be the high protein granola; I have this most evenings in my flex bowl and have also used it to make some festive energy balls! The low sugar granola is a brilliant addition to savoury dishes; I love it sprinkled over salads. fullsizerender-5

Enertor performance insolesI feel so privileged to run in the same insoles as Usain Bolt! Yes, I am a little star-struck by that thought but, I do genuinely love running these insoles! I had ran too many miles in my trainers and my pace was starting to slip, but with the addition of these insoles in my shoes, I genuinely felt like I was bouncing and wearing new trainers. I had a niggle with my knee and this has now gone.. speaks for itself really!

Sweaty Betty, zero gravity run leggingsthese leggings make me feel as if I have nothing on; they are so comfortable and snug yet really breathable when you run! I cannot get enough of Sweaty Betty; I really do feel that you pay for what you get and it is so true with the amazing quality of their leggings! Some leggings, to me anyway, feel too thick and uncomfortable to run in but these are just perfect!

BBC Good Foodthe recipes in the magazines, cookbook and online are all amazing! When the magazine arrives, it genuinely is my favourite time of the month; it is like a monthly birthday! The everyday section is my personal favourite; providing healthy, easy to make recipes!

 Raw salted caramel bars

This recipe is an ideal sweet treat and snack to placate the sweet tooth without the calories yet full of nutrient dense wholefoods. And, moreover, who doesn’t love the current trend flavour combination that is salted caramel? These treats require no baking and are ready almost instantly.

  1. This couldn’t be easier; in your blender, simply pop in all the ingredients and blend until they are well combined.
  2. Line a baking tin with cling film and then spread the mixture over the top,
  3. Pop the bars in the freezer for around an hour,
  4. Take the bars out of the freezer, slice and enjoy!
  5. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks!

My favourite products for healthy bakes…

1. Egg Whites,

  • With just 17 calories per egg white and 0g of fat, these are the perfect addition to healthy bakes.
  • They help to bind your ingredients without adding many calories yet help bakes to retain their cake like features.

2. Coconut Flour,

  • Coconut flour is extraordinarily absorbent and very little coconut flour is needed to successfully produce a recipe.
  • Naturally high in both fibre and protein, it helps your bakes to remain nutritious and DELICIOUS!
  • I use it for pancakes, cakes, energy balls and protein bars, pizzas and as a binding ingredient in fritters!

3. Avocado,

  • Avocados make just about anything better, from salads to veggie-packed salsas to smoothies.
  • Blending in avocado to your brownies, energy balls or even porridge, adds moisture, a nice creamy texture and no weird flavours!
  • Avocados are a nutrition powerhouse too; rich in monounsaturated fats which can lower the risk of heart disease and cholesterol levels.
  • Find some delicious new ways to use avocado on the BBC Good Food Website!

4. Protein powders,

  • Protein helps you build muscle, making look toned and boosting your metabolism which can help you slim down. The addition of protein can help you feel satiated for longer; essential to stop you snacking!
  • They can be substituted gram for gram for flour in any recipe; so are an easy optional add in!
  • With so many flavours, you can really mix up what you make! I use them for EVERYTHING sweet that I bake with! Check out my loaf cake recipes for examples!
  • My favourite whey proteins are: The Organic Whey Protein Company unflavoured protein powder, Motion Nutrition Coconut Whey Protein,
  • For vegans, my favourite whey protein alternatives are: MissFits Nutrition Vanilla Pea Protein, Vivolife UK raw cacao hemp protein powder and That Protein Brown Rice and Cacao Powder protein.

5. Courgette,

  • You probably think I’m crazy for adding this in BUT they add SO much volume for so few calories, add lots of moisture and don’t have an overpowering taste!
  • By blending or grating them in to your bakes, you can make a delicious moist bake, contribute to your five a day and use up leftover veg!
  • I use courgette in oats (zoats), loaf cakes and even pancakes! Go crazy!

6. Natural sweeteners,

  • All sugar is sugar, there is no way of getting around that! However, essential to making sure your healthy bake tastes naughty, these natural sweeteners are something that you cannot miss off of your shopping list!
  • My favourites are coconut sugar, Natvia Natural Sweetener, Truvia, Date Syrup and Coconut nectar!
  • Coconut Sugar: has a lovely caramel flavour, a low GI (keeping you full for longer) and contains iron, zinc, and calcium, which can have many health benefits, including stronger bones.
  • Natvia and Truvia: As these are so sweet, you can use so little. They are also low calorie, natural (the ‘sugar’ is extracted from the leaf of the stevia plant) and don’t affect your blood sugar levels.
  • Date SyrupDates are a good source of various vitamins and minerals so Date syrup thus contains the same! Dates themselves are an excellent energy booster with the right type of sugar our body needs. Simply, use it in your teas or anything else that you would use maple syrup or agave!

I hope this has been helpful!

Cranberry Blondie Loaf Cake…

It’s getting close to Christmas and for me that means a certain few flavours become prominent in my diet; the combination of white chocolate and cranberries, being one of them! Having chocolate and orange in a healthy way is often thought to be unachievable, but with this delicious loaf cake recipe, I feel that I have overcome this!

Serves 12
Preparation time 10 minutes

Cooking time 50 minutes

  1. Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper and pre heat your oven to 150C,
  2. Mix together all of the ingredients and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Using a tablespoon, spoon the mixture into the baking tin and then press down to the top to make a nice flat loaf!
  4. Now, pop the tin in to the oven for around 50 minutes or until golden!
  5. Once out of the oven, leave to cool in the tin.
  6. To make the icing; simply mix the icing sugar with the yogurt until well combined. Now spread this on top of the loaf before sprinkling over the dried fruit and seeds.
  7. Slice and ENJOY!

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I LOVE pancakes.. especially a big stack on a Saturday (stackurday)! So, I just had to share my staple recipe with you all!

You will need:

  • 50g of egg whites,
  • 50ml of liquid (I vary between fruit juice, coconut water, dairy and non-dairy milks etc),
  • 1 teaspoon of sweetener (I use natvia or truvia, you could use any that you fancy),
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder,
  • 15g of protein powder (any flavour and type of choice),
  • 10g of casein protein (I use Neat Nutrition as it is THE best),
  • 25g of flour (remember that coconut and almond flour are more absorbant so will require more liquid).
  • Optional add ins; superfoods (maca powder, beetroot powder, matcha powder), chocolate chips or cacao nibs, raisins or other dried fruit, granola and obviously cacao powder!
  • Toppings; go crazy! I love chocolate sauces (cacao powder, yogurt and sweetener mixed together), peanut butter, caramel, Musclefood sugar free syrups or just a simple layer of yogurt!

  1. In a bowl whisk together your egg whites and liquid until the mixture has doubled in size and is nice and fluffy!
  2. Whisk in to the egg whites, the sweetener and baking powder.
  3. Now add in the rest of the ingredients, continuing to whisk until they are well combined.
  4. Leave the mix to rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Now grease your frying pan and heat the pan on a medium heat.
  6. Drop a tablespoons worth of mix in to the pan; cook on one side for three minutes and then flip and cook on the other for around 2 minutes!
  7. Keep doing this until you have a mighty stack!
  8. Now go toppings crazy and ENJOYYYY!
