A New Year Ahead, Here's to 2025

It's crazy that we are ending 2024 already, the year flew by. I did not make the progress I wanted on many of my in progress projects mainly due to my personal life being extremely chaotic this year. To keep it brief, I had surgery to fix botched surgery I had the previous year, and I got married. With things settling down its back to work and a new year for new things!

Updates on in progress products:

LCD Jewel: the ESP32-P4 is finally making it to mass manufacturing meaning we can move forward with the project using a mcu that can handle video playback and more. Which will make for a massive improvement over the ESP32-S3 which the project started on. Still don't have a date for expected release.

Dreamcast BlueRetro: This project has massively evolved, I can't get into details just yet, but it will have more features than a standard BlueRetro board. Follow our socials for more info as we start to get it.

CEC-Enabler: this project has been on my back burner for a few years now, but we are looking at a release in the coming weeks to month, with a separate version tailored for the RetroTINK 4k coming soon after.
