You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Am still going over my soldering and checking all the connections etc.
Damn :(

Its also possible those big caps might not be needed, you could try jumpering over them to see if it makes any odds...

Well it does look like all the colours are there, this seems like something isn't connected causing issues... Could you take a video what is happening ?

Hold on - Now this is weird.

I just put the board back onto the perspex to stop me knocking the 33R resistors around.

Plugged it into the HxC etc and forgot I had Magic Pockets on auto boot.

Well that booted and the screen is perfect for the game. Not all the screens worked correctly booting it though there were some black screens.

Very odd.

Let me do videos of both.

I thought that too. Changed res and it still has that purple dark mode.
