Thank you to MintyTrebor (welcome to the Zaparoo team!) and V1605 for their hard work on this new release of ZapEsp32. This release includes a complete overhaul of the user interface, making it easier to use and more powerful than ever.

ZapEsp32 is a project that allows you to build your own advanced wireless NFC reader using an ESP32 microcontroller, fully compatible with Zaparoo. It includes many features such as:

  • Wireless NFC reading/writing on battery power
  • Playing custom audio files direct from device
  • Rumble motor support
  • Launch from MiSTer and Steam from one device
  • Built in mappings management

And lots more! Take a look at the video below by MintyTrebor to see it in action:
