Hope self-promotion is allowed. This is the latest episode of my podcast! We don’t have ads or sponsorships of any kid so you can keep the thumb off that 10-second skip button :)
Any WonderSwan fans here?

Topic starts at: 40:40. This week we discuss the ill-fated WonderSwan! You can find our Discord, Patreon, social media, and more at linktr.ee/retrowarriors.
I have one of these. Only a couple games though. I haven’t messed with it in like 20 years.
Nice! Which color? I keep almost buying one, they’re just too cute and affordable.
If I remember right, it’s semitransparent like the one in the OP but white. I’ll have to dig it out. I only have Guilty Gear and a game that I don’t know the name of because I can’t read Japanese. The game’s cool though. You play it sideways so the screen is vertical and I think it was something to do with a crow catching raindrops (it’s been so long my memory’s hazy).
I bought a non working one a while back to try to repair! None of my local stores have any games though.
Always nice to see old tech brought back from the dead. There’s a flash cart for the system for running roms. Lots of good fan translations!

I had been wanting one of these for years, so I finally picked one up thanks to some Christmas money. I put in an IPS screen, some pads to fix the power button, a new lens, and got some rechargeable AA batteries. I have three games so far, Klonoa: Moonlight Museum, Digital Monster Ver. WonderSwan, and Final Fantasy IV. I’ve mostly been playing Klonoa, since it’s the main reason I wanted a WonderSwan in the first place (also all those Digimon games). I might get myself a Flash Masta next time they’re available to play some fan translations and maybe some more absurdly expensive titles.

Man, that’s living the dream! I’ve been considering the same since they’re so cheap right now. IPS screen and a flash cart was my plan. Have you played the fan translations of Digimon Adventure?

I’m aware of it, but I haven’t played it yet.
