Here's something for the oldschool console fans out there (like myself); marshallh over at retroactive.be is working on an impressive flash cart project for the Nintendo 64 (N64) currently named 64drive which supports loading of ROM's from a CompactFlash (CF) card with FAT32 file system, and he also coded a native N64 software loader system/menu to interface with the hardware. To get a taste of his N64 coding skills, check the collection of top notch homebrew games/demos here. For an introduction to the project you can watch this video over at YouTube from January 2010 where marshallh got the design working for the first time on his FPGA dev board after spending lots of time translating his idea into Verilog code. Below is a recent photo of the final PCB fitting nicely into a N64 cart.
