Tumble Weeds Blowing By —
First off, welcome to 2014 for those still following along the V Smile Homebrew website. Hey! was that a tumble weed that just blew by? 🙂
Things have been happening behind the scenes with game development and porting current arcade style games to the V Smile platform, however the major hurtle at the moment is putting the games on real cartridges. If anyone has some incite to that, please comment below.
In other news, I recently picked up a “Bob The Builder: Bob’s Busy Day” cartridge for $1.00 USD. Not a bad deal. I haven’t tried the game out yet, but for a dollar, you can’t go wrong. I’ve seen V Smile cartridges going for crazy money at local thrift stores lately, like $7.00 – $8.00 crazy. Maybe that’s cheap, but to me that’s pricy for a loose cartridge.
Anyway, hello and “thank you” for following along. I’ll try to work on some screen shots of games I’ve already ported to work on the V Smile, which means hopefully more frequent updates to the site.

Hi,
would it not be possible to interface with the device and put cartridge dumps onto external storage like sd cards, write a bootloader to load the games from? Good work so far!
Hi Tony. That would be really awesome to have a SD card type of cartridge for the VSmile. I personally don’t have the knowledge to create that, but if someone could do it, then the flood gates would open up to have a lot of homebrew and arcade ports on the Vsmile.
