The folks over at @Haute42_ are at it again, this time with their X series prototype. An awesome machined aluminum unit with changeable modules to adapt to your unique play style. LP or MX buttons? Check WASD cluster? Check Dual analog? Check Running GP2040-CE as always!

I recently acquired some commercial hand sanitizer units and immediately saw the potential to turn them into arcade machines. Many hours of modelling and a few rolls of filament later I have one done! This one waits for the #SeaOfStars launch from @SabotageQc #gp2040ce

Here is the updated NFC loading system in action. Need to adjust the timing a bit but I’m quite happy with it. This will also auto-switch profiles in GP2040-CE based on game launched.

The GP2040-CE team is happy to announce fighting game PS5 support via passthrough authentication is being added to the firmware. Passthrough authentication allows you to connect any official PS4 fightstick to your GP2040-CE device through a USB breakout add-on. 1/7

Introducing the very first prototype of the OSAS - The Open Source Arcade Stand! Fightsticks are cool but nothing beats the feeling of sitting at an arcade machine. Arcade machines are big and heavy though, so not everyone has space for them. Updates as I build it out more!

Today I am very happy to introduce the RP2040 Basic Breakout Board! The GP2040-CE project has always been focused on making gaming more accessible. To do that we needed a cheap embedded board. At just $4.50 USD each on orders of 50+ we have done it! 1/5

Have a 3D printer and want to make your own Fightstick case on the cheap? I've just uploaded a 6 part print to make your own at home! The STL files are easily editable with TinkerCAD. Massive thanks to @Dash_xx_Mash for the design ideas here. github.com/OpenStickCommu…

I was also given an early copy of the upcoming U16 from @Haute42_ ! The U16 is the same size as the T series, has the same button style as the R series and has an injection molded bottom like the P series. With plexi and and art inserts this is a really cool unit.

For those new to GP2040-CE and Nintendo Switch / Switch 2: The existing Switch mode GP2040-CE works without issue on the Nintendo Switch 2. This is native Switch 2 compatibility with no need for an auth dongle, just connect and play! 1/3
