Thumby / Playing Gameboy Games on Thumby

« on: January 13, 2022, 03:29:31 PM »

I've worked on this for a few days now and I think it's ready to release to the public. I wrote a program that lets the Thumby play Gameboy games that you can use online here: https://notin.tokyo/gameboy  or you can download the python version here: https://github.com/InkboxSoftware/Thumboy. But if you want to check out how I built the program and understand more of the backend of how it works then check out this video:

Anyways I'd love to see if anyone gets some enjoyment from this. I don't think it is really feasible to play whole games on the Thumby, but I like the novelty of being able to play Gameboy games on it.

Thumby / Thumby Serial Connection

« on: January 04, 2022, 06:19:34 PM »

First post here, I just got my Thumby today (one of the early bird ones). But when I tried to connect it to the thumby IDE website it wouldn't connect at all.  I tried to make sure every is alright, I kept plugging it in and out again, tried different USB ports, made sure it was on, and still nothing. I wrote a little program to see all the available serial ports in case the filters were wrong, but I don't see the Board CDC (COM36) showing up like I do in the tutorial at all, in fact I don't see anything show up when I plug it in. Any ideas on what I can do next?
