Yes, we have no Bananas

It took less than two weeks, and all the µGames 10 are sold. I am both a bit surprised with how fast it went, and very grateful to everyone who bought one (a lot of them went to my friends). I don’t plan on making any more of them for the next few weeks, at least until the Lunar New Year ends. I am now focusing on support of the devices that have their new owners, and on updating the firmware.

Speaking of support, I already got some really valuable feedback. @Frank Buss  seems to have a knack for finding all the rough edges, and his suggestions already improved the documentation and resulted in some ideas about improving the firmware. Jell also reported some issues, which have been added to the docs. I expect to receive even more feedback as the devices arrive and their owners start experimenting with them seriously.

I’m also going to work on making an emulator for this device — even if it’s not going to emulate all of its limitations, it should allow easier development and debugging. You will still need to test against a real device to make sure that there is enough memory and that the speed is acceptable, though — it’s not going to be a “real” emulator, just a version of the Stage library that runs on regular Python.
