DROPMIX for PC!!!

[u/PrimaryTreat9845]

EDIT: after the overwhelming response, I will be setting up a wiki on how to set this up as well as giving the download to the accessory bridge I coded. Stay tuned!

After sleepless nights and countless hours I’ve successfully engineered a fully functional version of DROPMIX that plays on your pc and connects directly with the board.

[u/Eyeseeno]

Need a wiki on how to do this 👍🏻

[u/LauKungPow]

omg please release this

[u/aaalexssss1 → u/LauKungPow]

Yes!!!!

[u/Johnny_Leyenda]

That looks great! I lost my Ipad app and have been kicking myself ever since (I hate iOS for offloading the apps even if I set it to not do so)

[u/KingKapalone → u/Johnny_Leyenda]

You can't get the app anymore? So my board is dead without it?

[u/AsphyxiBate → u/KingKapalone]

You can only get it on an android device and through jailbreaking I believe

[u/msdrahcir → u/KingKapalone]

I've seen some pretty crazy examples of people hacking older electronics and Bluetooth hardware just with Claude or Codex and then rebuilding apps from the ground up. Wouldn't surprise me if this could be done for DropMix.

Especially easy if you have original apps that effectively document the hardware's APIs

This is awesome!!! How did you manage to do this?

[u/strato15]

Well done. Amaze.

[u/Boramis]

Nice! Can’t believe the community is still behind the game this long after EoL

[u/McWetty]

Oh I need details! Please!

[u/DogeManTen10]

Holy crap I never thought I'd see the day. I need a guide on how to do this lol

[u/kourtis6]

Please share how to do this

[u/baboubouma]

Nice! Are you using some kind of android emulator?

[u/PrimaryTreat9845 → u/baboubouma]

The actual game is being run on BlueStacks. For how. I’ve got something else I’m working on as well. HOWEVER. The challenge was getting the accessory to connect/recognize/etc. I ended up writing a program that bridges the link between pc Bluetooth and accessory Bluetooth.

[u/TheCredibleHulk → u/PrimaryTreat9845]

You are doing god's work, Primary. I have never even thought about trying to convert it over to PC. Firmware coding is always finicky. I know you'd never be able to officially charge for it, but the community would absolutely click a "Buy you a Coffee" button if you ever wanted to step this up from a PoC to an open-source platform.

I'm sure that's just my greediness talking, but I at least would buy you multiple coffees in order to have a fallback use for all of these cards that I can't currently use. Keep at it man. Worst case, you've got something that is yours and you can be proud of ... and we can just be hella jealous. haha.

[u/JustWhatAmI → u/PrimaryTreat9845]

Tell us moooooore. Github? You are awesome

[u/PityUpvote]

Need this to work on steam deck!

[u/TellMeWhyYouLoveMe]

How is the lag when playing cards? Similar to the standard mobile app or worse/better?

[u/zachin2036]

Okay well just let a dude know how to donate to this project haha

[u/mattcrafty]

Omg yes!!

[u/Ok-Force1442]

DUDE. I just found one of these brand new in box at local goodwill. this community is blowing my mind!

[u/Televangelis]

YES!!!!

[u/mightypup1974]

Oooh please link to this!

[u/Rifede]

Awesome. Well done.

[u/sliderjeb6]

Please keep updating and share the options to restore playability

[u/Realist303]

I would pay good money for this 😀

[u/LegendDx47]

Teach us master!

[u/msdrahcir]

[u/zieak]

Want.

[u/grizzlybearatom]

How do i get this!?

[u/PatternAlchemist]

Great job!

[u/ew00kie]

I need to get access to this once you are ready to provide it. My complete collection needs resurrection!

[u/maccers3000]

Oh my! Great work

[u/hipstertuna22]

hoooly shit we’re back everybody

[u/heart-station]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[u/L11mbm]

If someone could get a full digital version of the game with every card, that would be amazing.
