A little update of my Spectrum Next project...

Spending a little time with this recent-ish conversion of Lock’n Chase to the C64. It feels quite spot on - which is no surprise, as the C64 hardware is of the right vintage for this era of arcade game to get brought over well.

End of summer sale is happening now for my Bandcamp albums! Use code endofsummer2025 for 25% off everything (including the already heavy discounted whole discography)! Enjoy the music (57 albums so far)! :) chrishuelsbeck.bandcamp.com

Antifa achievement unlocked: had a very friendly conversation with a random stranger in my neighborhood about anarchy and Kropotkin because they liked the patch on my backpack. #NotTerrorism

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

Test alert successfully made me jump out of my chair.

A huge #Commodore64 surprise to kick off the week with GTW adding the sadly cancelled playable prototype of an Indiana Jones 3 adventure. An unofficial conversion of the great Lucasfilm Games title with bags of promise, but wasn't to be. Check it out here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/indian...

Recapped and readjusted the #NAD7020e today. Meditation Beta style. #InTheLabDoingStuff

The Commodore.net factory in China got an inspection visitor today, as CEO/Head Chef Peri Fractic installed the first power switch to power up Commodore! #WeAreCommodore #C64 #Commodore64 #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

NEW VIDEO! Today marks 20 years since the #PSP launched in PAL regions, and well… I couldn't help but feel like it'd be neat to dive into some of the catalogue to show off some neat examples of what made it kinda cool in that mid-2000s kind of way. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifzP...

You can officially reach me via fax now. The fax number is listed on my website. Welcome to the future! ;)

It’s 2025, I’m setting up a fax number. As one does. (No real fax machine though, I neither have room nor the nerves for that!) #ModernCommunication

Happy 30th birthday to MS-DOS 7! 😉🎉🎂🥂

Did some Amiga 600 updates and upgrades today and made it run more stable again (I hope). #InTheLabDoingStuff

I think these are the property of legend Dale Luck. That jacket! 😍

Eagerly waiting for a VERY rare retro donation to arrive. DHL tracking says it’s 10 stops from here. I’ll post pictures as soon as it arrives. (I hope it makes it in one piece! 🤞🤞🤞)

As you just saw at #Gamescom, Ron Gilbert's next game has been officially announced! #indiegames #gaming @microprose.bsky.social @grumpygamer.com www.grumpygamer.com/deathbyscrol...

Time for an old vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSuM... Big fan of the GBA, so I did a compilation a while back showing off a bunch of games for it "I Just Think Are Neat". And hey: if you actually threw this on, it'd be nice to hear from you (over on YT obs). 🖤

This is the way.

Had a look inside the LIPS TV (really an elderly LG) that broke down recently. Not much I can do, I’m afraid. Measured some of the birdseed components (all good), the ICs are likely acting up. The only thing wrong with it is the HDMI inputs not working, so it might be the HDMI switcher chip?

Rod has made another video, playing another 60 random VIC20 games for 60 seconds each, on real hardware, in real time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSMq... Find out how this is achieved in this blog post: blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2025/08/play...

It's a shame this youtube channel doesn't have more followers. He's made tons of retro consoles and computer videos. www.youtube.com/reenthused

Yes, The rumours are true! The DesTest MAX-Switch is released. Visit factorofmatt.com/destest-max-... for product details and information on how to buy or build one.

Slightly diminish a band: Princess

Back in the late nineties/early aughts when I went to audio engineering school, there was a soda machine in the entrance area. It also had beer cans (we’re in Germany, after all) but the beer button was labeled "not for production!". I feel like that’s what generative AI is.

Didn’t get much else done today, but I successfully modded and updated my (outdated) #OSSC. #InTheLabDoingStuff

MAIN CHANNEL VIDEO! I build the best ZX81 and put it in an amazing case. AND THEN! I gave it a mechanical keyboard that looks simply stunning! I'm a bit excited to share this one with you.

Decisions, decisions. Upgrade the Amiga 600 to Kickstart/Workbench 3.2.3 or downgrade to a more old school Amiga compatible 3.1? Pros and cons for both, I guess. It’s got a Furia in there and is currently running 3.2.1 quite happily. 🤔 #Amiga #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #Commodore

Awesome to see the Spectrum Next issue 3 is going nuts. Over 5k backers!! https://www.kickstar...

At the beach today, found an ancient washed-up Coke can. This type of ring-pull was phased out in 1989. Just goes to show how much of the crap we leave behind stays left behind.

I finally managed to repair my Amiga600’s disk drive today! Gave it a good clean and checked the alignment, too. I can play Turrican from disk again! Video coming soon. #Amiga #Commodore #Repair #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Wait.. what?😮 Roguecraft won an award for best modern #Amiga game at the Amiga/040 in Silicon Valley, yesterday!🥳🏆 From the live steam: youtube.com/live/GzfpEDI... 🎯Get it here: thalamusdigital.itch.io/roguecraft #screenshotsaturday #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev

Started filming a repair video about this #NAD 7020e receiver from the 80‘s today, only to find out that it worked like a charm after some cleaning. Sounds really sweet (same circuit as the NAD 3020, afaik). Maybe the video is going to end up as a bonus episode for supporters, I guess. 😅

We Did It. Commodore Is Home. With the final payment locking in the deal CEO Peri Fractic signed the final contracts in The Netherlands, officially acquiring all 47 original Commodore trademarks. After decades adrift, the brand is finally where it belongs - with fans. #WeAreCommodore commodore.net
