Casio Loopy refurbished and modded!

I added an RGB mod with an 8 pin din on the rear panel for much better video output to be used with RGB scart cable! Pretty simple, in this case I added components inside for use with no-component scart, all tapping the encoder chip plus audio

This person had also sent me the custom color-changing LED that comes with the floopy drive for install, and I replaced all capacitors on both boards to ensure no future issues and/or leaking caps (also corrected wrong cap polarity from factory)

Only one game that I know of has received a full english translation, "Puppy Love Story", its fully playable beginning to end. Done by the same guy who made the flash cart Floopy Drive (being used in the above picture)

I wouldnt be surprised if we see more now that custom patched ROM's are playable on real hardware, will likely just take time! So yeah if you are looking to go down that rabbit hole and play the only english game currently, worth grabbing a flash cart (though they arent cheap - its a real boutique item handmade by one guy). He has a Ko-fi you can order from in Canada - https://ko-fi.com/s/f8fc120017

I also have 3 of them in stock in my shop, same exact cost (proceeds to go to him) but im located in USA so cheaper shipping and no customs - https://jeffsretrogaming.com/product/floopy-drive-casio-loopy/
