Having returned home from 3600 miles (5800 km) of driving, I was greeted by these two friendly fellows.I'll be having some fun.#RetroGaming #Nintendo #Gaming

Photo of two small packages on a counter.
One is a FlippyDrive, which is a solderless GameCube mod chip.
The other is a SummerCart64, which is a cartridge that can be loaded with N64 ROMs and played on an original Nintendo 64.

@AdmiralMemo The FlippyDrive is a solderless mod chip for the GameCube. It's an optical drive emulator and shares a connection port with the actual optical drive by using a clever ribbon cable.Effectively, it allows you to run ROMs on a GameCube from a MicroSD card just as though they were being read from a disc.
