===== Items =====

If you'd like to sell, trade or donate any of these items to me, please contact me at [[https://asie.pl/|any one of these]]! 

Note that I am open to paying for most of these items, absolutely! I do earn enough money to make the occasional purchase; I know how much these things can fetch on the open market. However, the collector market is exhausting, and I'm often not looking for items in a particularly collectible condition - as I will be extensively using them, "mostly working" is sufficient.

==== For retro development ====

These are meant to support my retro development/research efforts.

^ Name ^ Description ^
| Aquaplus P/ECE (PME-001) | I'd like to work on a P/ECE toolchain eventually; in addition, I'll admit I simply want to own one. |
| ElCheapo SD GB/GBC flash cart | I'd like to document its hardware registers, and possibly develop a library to take advantage of them for the few who still own one. |
| EZ-Flash Junior flash cart | I'd like to finish the reverse-engineering effort on it started by Daid. I have a few good guesses, but need the hardware to verify them. |
| Neo Geo Pocket | As always, another platform worth giving a toolchain, maybe. |
| Nintendo DSi/DSi XL | This is for BlocksDS; some aspects of DSi-mode homebrew operation (Unlaunch, touchscreen/sound controller quirks) can only be properly tested on a DSi. While I own a DS and 3DS, I do not currently own a DSi. |
| NEC PC Engine | |
| NEC PC-FXGA card | I'd like to work on a PC-FX toolchain eventually, and having real hardware to test with would be great - the hardware is not well documented. I'm looking for the PC-98 variant; the DOS/V version also works, but it's so collectible that I'm not getting my hopes up. |
| Nintendo Famicom | |
| Nintendo Famicom Disk System | |
| Pocket Challenge V2 cartridges | Some of them use the KARNAK mapper, which has a currently undocumented ADPCM decoder on-board. Figuring out how it works is necessary for fully emulating them. |
| Pocket Challenge V2, WonderSwan, WonderSwan Color | I do own a SwanCrystal, but I'd like to acquire the remaining models to be able to test for hardware differences. In addition, a WonderSwan Color //with a damaged display// could be used to build a display/sound capture kit for homebrew demonstrations and hardware demoscene recordings. |
| Sega Mega Drive | |
| Super Famicom flashcart | I'd like to work on an SFC/SNES toolchain eventually. |
| Television and/or HDMI upscaler | I don't really have a way to connect retro home consoles in my room, and finding a good, small enough CRT that won't take up half my desk space is tricky. |
| ZX Spectrum divIDE (or similar) | I have a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K+, but I need a way to run software on it. |

==== For fun ====

I might use these for development/projects, but here the primary motivation is simply "I want one!". Admittedly, this is the more selfish of the two sections ^^;.

| HP 100/200LX | |
| MegaZeux, physical copy | |
| PC-9801/9821 laptop | |

| ZZT, physical copy | Full disclosure - these barely ever surface online, while the last one on eBay went for $300. |
