I recently spotted a post by a member of SmokeMonster’s Discord by the name of Enforcer that had been doing some input latency (lag) testing on the Krikzz Joyzz 6 button Sega Genesis/Megadrive gamepad. He had just finished testing the 8bitdo M30 2.4g controller when he made a comment that he didn’t have the M30 […]
Woozle had just finished testing an adapter that allows you to install the GBA Consolizer kit into GBA’s with the 32-pin adapter and not just 40-pin versions.
