Forum for Leapfrog LeapsterGS - testingscript64 - 07-28-2020

Hi all,
I came to Spiffy Hacks to find out more about the LeapPad homebrew/hacking scene, although I was disappointed to find that there was no thread devoted to the LeapsterGS.

Now, I know that the LeapsterGS isn't exactly a tablet device--but it runs the same hardware as the LeapPad 2 (as confirmed on eLinux), so naturally I would expect it to have some coverage on the forums. However most of the threads make brief mentions of the LeapsterGS, and none are devoted to it.

It would be really great if there was a LeapsterGS forum; I especially need a centralized forum because I'm trying to program my own games that take full advantage of its hardware features, such as its 3D graphics, microphone and camera.

It's a shame that Spiffy Hacks seems less active now. I wish more people were interested.

I might be getting my hands on a Leapster *maybe* GS *maybe not* soon and I will be sure to post updates.
There wasn't really much appeal for me to play flash games on a smaller screen but I've only recently heard about RetroLeap and now the Leapster looks like the perfect candidate for a homebrew handheld.

Update: It was a good week for Facebook Marketplace.

I am now the Proud owner of:
  • 1x LeapPad 3 - Stock Firmware, with Custom Flash Games Available.
  • 1x Leapster Explorer - RetroLeap CFW, with GBC & SMD(Stable) SNES & GBA(Beta) emulation.
  • 1x LeapsterGS - Stock Firmware, with Custom Flash Games in the Pipeline.
  • 1x LeapPad XDI Ultra - Broken (Dead Wi-Fi, possibly worth repairing)
  • 1x Leapfrog Tag Junior - Came bundled with the LeapsterGS
  1. I will start re-packing the currently available flash game packages, with modified Icon files and inputs for use with the LeapsterGS.
  2. I will then edit the main page of each game, offering the choice between LeapPad and LeapsterGS download for each title.
Due mostly to time constraints and partly to the lack of a Leapster forum. I will not be able to list each new game package on spiffyhacks.com as they are created but I might continue to update the release thread when each new catalog page is completed (16 games) but this remains to be seen.

For the most Upto-Date list of titles, head over to My Website: LeapPad Genie+
There's still a lot of work to go into the website: Game Ratings, Few Missing Images, Most of the Written Content and that's not including any new games or features yet to come. If you're bored, have too much time or not enough to do, feel free to Rate-A-Game or Write a "Blurb" here.
