The N64 Cartridge That Actually Knows What It Is
Ever wish your retro gaming gear had a little more… personality? Well, developer David Brito just leveled up the nostalgia game with the ScreenDrive 64.
It’s an N64 ROM cartridge that features a built-in LCD screen designed to mimic an original game label. When you load a specific game, the screen displays that game’s iconic artwork. It’s essentially a “smart” cartridge that shows off its identity right on the shell.
Here is the quick lowdown:
- Performance: Built on the PicoCart64 project, so it plays games just as smoothly as a standard ROM cart.
- Design: The screen is masked to fit the shape of an N64 label for that authentic feel.
- Price & Availability: Currently around $70 USD (1200 Pesos) for 3D-printed versions, though they are currently sold out.
Keep an eye on this one—there’s talk of a future crowdfunding campaign or pre-order period. If it moves toward mass production with injection-molded shells, our retro setups are about to get a whole lot flashier.
