Overview

The DSpico is an open, Raspberry-Pi-powered game cartridge for the original DS line - DS, DS Lite, DSi and 3DS. Pop it in and it boots homebrew, emulators and your own ROM backups from microSD, with a modern USB-C port for easy loading. It is a tinkerer's cart first: a fun way to breathe new life into hardware that still works.
