Nach bald 15 Jahren geht dieses Blog zu Ende. Ich bedanke mich für euer Interesse.

Natürlich bleibt das Blog erhalten, wird aber nicht mehr weitergepflegt. Meine neue Seite mit einem Fokus auf technische Themen findet ihr hier: mupf.dev

In diesem Sinne: Bye bye, à bientôt!

If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are. – Jean-Luc Picard

Heute vor zehn Jahren wurde dieses Blog geboren und es kommt mir so vor, als wäre das letzte Jubiläum erst gestern gewesen. Die Zeit vergeht und ich blicke schmunzelnd zurück.

In diesem Sinne und ohne große Worte: auf die kommenden 10 Jahre!

Und so, über Gräber vorwärts! — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A drawing exercice I worked on recently. Well, as the phrase goes: skill comes with practice. And for me it’s still a long way to go. :)

Es gibt nur zwei Dinge: Die Leere und das gezeichnete Ich. — Gottfried Benn, Nur zwei Dinge

This photo was taken yesterday on the 7th U.S. car meeting in Leinfelden-Echterdingen where we all three came together for the very first time.

This Blog is now mobile enabled and fully responsive.
And as you probably noticed I also did a slight redesign.

My llustrations now have their own section which can be found here or in the top-navigation.

Remember, back in the olden days, when you spent hours with your friends playing your favorite games on the SNES? Good times, good times.
But you all grew up and moved away, spread out over the world. What would you give if you could once again meet up and play those beloved games together?

Fret not, here’s just the thing you need.

The SNESoIP ethernet adapter for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (also known as the Super NES, SNES or Super Nintendo) is an open-source, proof-of-concept, network-bridge for sharing local controller-inputs over the Internet.
The project it currently in its early stage, but fully functional and could be used to play multiplayer games over the Internet.

I’m also planning on integrating some kind of server-controlled BBS system (I just love the RAS syndrome) for which I’ve already built a PS/2-to-SNES keyboard adapter (photo) and possibly adding support for other consoles like the Sega lineup.

Here’s what you need:

• Two SNES consoles,
• two controllers,
• two copies of the same game,
• two SNESoIP adapters and
• some kind of network inbetween.

The SNESoIP will push your controller input to a remote server and receive your playing partner’s controller input from the server and forward everything together to your local SNES (same thing for the other player). It works quite well as long as you have low latency and not too many random events which of course cannot be synced.

If you want to get down with the nitty-gritty details, check out the project’s readme on GitHub.

SNESoIP is an open-source project developed completely in my spare time. If you find it useful, please consider donating a small amount of money. Your donation will be used to support further development of the project.

The easiest way to donate is via PayPal, simply click here.

If you want to help in the development of this project, join us in #retrotardation on euIRC. We’re also working on a similar Gameboy Classic / Super Gameboy project.

Now, without further ado, check out this video of the SNESoIP in action:
