Do you want to share those "eyebrow raising" numbers?

Best summary I can find stating the elections were "rigged" is the report from the Carter center which uses almost entirely qualitative data or hearsay arguments to support the claim and conveniently forgets to mention any of the surrounding context around US interventionism.

In contrast the argument for fair and open elections is well summarized in the report from the NLG delegation's report which does a good job of providing quantitative data as well as useful context to support the conclusion it was fair.

Can you provide those quantitave arguments from these "third party left-wing governments"? Because I am having a hard time finding any of them...

"Why don't you want to compromise with the leopards? They don't want to kill you, just let them lick your nose a bit. That would be cute, right!?"

Another important facet to that scam that isn't been discussed too much: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1809859768388854139.html

I think you misunderstand that I'm talking exclusively about electoralism. It can be a useful tool, but it's largely a scam.

I fully understand your concerns. But this is the reality and I know it sucks.

Can you please not just roll over and die. I'm begging for you to put up an ounce of resistance now before you need to put up a gallon later.

"THERE IS NO THIRD OPTION" because you accept the options that you are given and try to convince others that they are acceptable options. They are not, stop deluding yourself.

People are "just going to fold over" because you keep telling them to! Stop doing the fascist's work, there are always other options but the fewer people who understand that means that more force per person is required to apply the needed pressure to make those options a reality.

You're arguing from the premise that fascism is the only option and anything else is "fantasy". Is that what you really believe?

I was promised riots and unrest when Roe V Wade was overturned and there was crickets instead. What are you going to do in November after the democrats get Trump elected? Do before to prevent that current inevitability?

What would you rather have?

A non-fascist option. Abortion access, housing, not the world's highest incarceration rate (which Jim Crow Joe is directly, but not solely, responsible for.) etc.

You're arguing from a false premise.

Or the uniform might be saying something about the inherit relationship between cops and queers...

You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?

3.53V on input, 2.61V on the output.

There's your problem! The BLE chip isn't getting enough voltage, likely because you're overloading the port with that device requiring more current than the NES port can supply...

I don't know enough about the NES to walk you through how to mod it to increase the available current, and I'm unfortunately not seeing any immediately available guides on the problem your facing but your two options would be to see if there's some current limiting inside the NES for those ports (and risk full device brownouts, overloading, damage to power further upstream) or isolate the existing power rail and essentially replace it with the USB power adapter... Or just use the external power adapter...

From what I got, the SNES, N64 & GameCube controller ports are outputing 3.3V directly, not 5V.

Doing a quick google, this excerpt about the GameCube is enlightening:

There are two power rails on the connector, a 3.43V supply that is probably used for the logic, and a 5V supply that appears to be used to power the rumble motor (and perhaps logic also).

I'm willing to bet the 5V for the rumble is what is being used to power that module as it had significantly higher current capacity and would explain why it works on that device but not the NES.

Given that the Blueretro is taking 3.3V apparently, is it possible to step down from 4.6V to 3.3V instead? Is it wiser than stepping up?

That's what the AMS1117 you identified does! One of the pins on that IC will be the 4.6V input, one will be the 3.3V output. Looking at the datasheet it has a dropout (minimum vin-vout) of 1.3V meaning that voltage regulator doesn't have much margin...

Power issues/brownouts do seem like a possible explanation. Great job at tracking the issue down as far you did, but I think it's a bit to early to jump to the conclusion that that is definitely the issue.

• What's is the voltage you measure on the AMS1117?

• Does the voltage you measure change when you connect via Bluetooth?

• Do your measurements change when USB powered?

• Does the 4.6V output from the controller drop when you connect over Bluetooth?

• Are you measuring the ports when something is connected or when the ports are open?

• Does your blueretro work on the ports of the other NES devices?

My hunch is the ports don't output enough current for reliable Bluetooth which isn't going to be fixed without some NES surgery... You might be better off just using the USB power.
