SmileBASIC 4& #39;s out today in countries outside of Japan—this is the latest version of the BASIC coding app that& #39;s been around since the DS days and the addition of USB keyboard/mouse support makes it a million times more practical

game sharing& #39;s done via server & that& #39;s where it gets a little complicated: in short, the base game lets you download games every 8 hours & doesn& #39;t let you upload anything, if you want upload slots & unlimited DL you need to buy a server key (or multiple if you want more slots)
I believe it& #39;ll include a server ticket by default overseas but I can& #39;t check for myself atm

as you might expect, there& #39;s a ton of neat Japanese games already out there—again, can& #39;t list em all right now but I& #39;ll drop a ton of em on y& #39;all tomorrow
one quick recommendation: nROGUE REMAKE, the latest version of neko800& #39;s long-running Petitcom Rogue conversion, made with several collaborators including Battle Garegga dotter Shinsuke Yamakawa

here& #39;s footage from a work-in-progress PC-8801 emulator for SmileBASIC—it requires a third-party program to transfer files to/from PC, instructions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyhszmjrOnUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch... class="Emoji" style="height:16px;" src=" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇯🇵" title="Flag of Japan" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Japan">
