Our own friendly neighborhood Perfect Dark did a write-up on a project called Kazeta a while back that seemed pretty cool.

While different, that’s pretty neat.

Someone should make cases for mini NVMe SSDs to turn them into cartridges. NVMe SSD are technically plug and play and with an NVMe extension cable you could move the slot to the side or top of the case. Expensive as fuck to use NVMe for a single game, but much faster than SD Cards and they don’t wear down as fast and will retain the data longer when unpowered.

If you want the game to last forever, it assumes you’ve already got it sourced from somewhere DRM-free, where you can continually copy it to other healthy media. Nothing lasts forever, but this is meant to replicate a lot of the strengths of old consoles, fortunately without some of their own pitfalls like save batteries.

SSTech requires power to maintain cells.
What need is liberated schematics Blu-ray burner+ readers, so you can burn even a small cast, and reread until your descendants^100^ make another copy.HetareKing@piefed.social 2 months ago
Doesn’t recordable optical media also have a pretty limited lifespan? Unlike commercially produced discs, where the pits are pressed into the plastic, CD/DVD/BD-Rs just have a dye that is made to change colour with a laser, and that dye degrades over time.
