Sooooo, if you sack off the actual sound generator and just cycle the envelope generator at audio frequencies you get PHAT BASS #AYPSG (dunno if that sounds phat on a phone, but trust me it's PHAT)

Things I should be doing =/= things I am doing

Hey, you know those lifts you get in games that just go up and down one floor and to go up more floors you get off and get back on again? What are they called and do you get them irl?

This should be easy to find but for some reason I'm failing.. Does anyone know what kind of connector the euro #Commodore 128DCR PSU output uses? (it think its identified as CN7 on the PCB)

Turns out the contact cleaner wasn't a long standing solution. It's fixed now tho 😊

Woop-de-diddly-do-daa! Polyphonic pitch bend on the SID. So, my midi stream isn't buffered, which was a worry even at 8mhz, but that's 21 16bit calcs, 6 register sets (which have to be done at a 1mhz equivalent) and all the gubbins inbetween without skipping a beat 😍

ooo look. There's very few cheeky optimisations in 6502 compared to Z80 (imo) but there's one. List checking in the zero page is faster if you keep x as a pointer but don't actually use it to index. ldx #0 lda ZP,x bcc inx lda ZP,x bcc inx.......... ldx #0 lda ZP bcc inx lda ZP+1 bcc inx..........

Bit behind the scenes work on the #ZX81 game, but visible progress now: alien paths are set up, the joystick controls are working better, and bullets are in (they don’t hurt yet).

If i want to subtract a 16 bit value, but still call this same addition routine, does 2 compliment still work? Do I eor and inc both Zp values? Or eor both and just inc the LSB? pha tya clc adc Zp_LSB tay txa adc Zp_MSB tax pla

Strange isn't it, you resist for years the urge to spend a couple of hundred pounds on a new hobby that could keep you gainfully occupied, and then the clutch goes in the car and you spend £500 in the blink of an eye.

Who won the battle of the home computer brands in 80s UK? There were only two real contenders (imo) - Sinclair and Commodore. I don’t think the BBC Micro nor the Electron (which I had) were even close to being as cool - they seemed a bit…clunky? First up, I made one about Sinclair…

Slightly diminish a book. Swallows and Temu

OK *this* is the last check. Turn off that meddling rom routine and wrestle full control.

Steam, you fucking cunts. You fucking cunts. I can't see my password or copy paste. You fucking cunts. I know my password but I can't reliably type it on a pinball table. You fucking cunts. I hate you. You fucking cunts.

Yo! Win an actual thing! This is a dog's nads prize and even if you loose you even gain extreme kama/puja/a ticket upstairs* for your charity work *delete according to religious affiliation

December 1989 and what are people buying? Well it's not blinking robocop that's for sure cos by this time everyone in the UK had a copy 😂 thanks for watching and hope you have a super dooper bank hols weekender 😘 youtu.be/92bu4ymmjoo

I've kinda shown this before, but this is final checks. Things confirmed : It's boots to LEDs all on✔️ Multiple LED driver ✔️ All bits working ✔️ It's already got some of its own ROM action going on (keypad poll for one) , but this identifies a good place to put FuzzLabs Starlight™ code instead ✔️✔️✔️

TOP TIP : Earn while you spend! Try and combine purchases so they total £10.05 but pay with a £20 note. More often than not you'll receive £10 change. 20 of those and your a pound up.

This is still the best mix request ever made, anyone who disagrees is wrong.🔊🎶 src @fuzzweed.co.uk

I've added some AY, some SID, and some OPL from the Fuzz mega box. And a bit of Lisa stansfield. I reckon if I spread it out a bit it might nearly be a tune. Or the start of one. Or another dead in the water embryonic idea. Who knows?

Happy National Willy Fog Day! Remember the theme tune? Just sing the first line. Go on. Or a tiny bit from the chorus… Great! Now you’ll be singing it all day. You’re welcome. #WillyFogDay #NationalWillyFogDay Thanks to @kumachan.bsky.social for the reminder!

😲 😲 😲 I think I've got it. Sshift is symbol and Cshift is caps and unless you want to shift a symbol in which case it's not.

Definitely more tech/progressive than euro/hard #housesubgenres

Hands in the air like you just don't care 😊😊😊😊

I was prepared for this to be a bit shit (like that dk tronics light pen on my speccy I saved up all my pocket money for 😠) , but it's actually incredible. Totally on the ball with responsiveness and accuracy. Love it immediately. #Atari800

Urgh. Plumbing manufacturers doing electrics. Gotta make-off a 16mm cable in a 15mm space through a non standard cable knockout that doesn't line up with the terminals. Oh and the earth connection is a ramdom screw somewhere else.

FRI-YAY!!!!!!!!

Modulator Quiz! 1 point for each correct guess. Bonus point for the odd one out. Extra bonus for guessing the one I can't find.

Back cover is a test print, but it does all fit inside

I've waited too long and spent too much money, but that is now a successful external AV mod.

Gigabytes used to be a pretend number we'd laugh about. And now it's just a big dustbin full of rubbish.

I like to try and be pragmatic in the majority of these situations, but a line was crossed. The old bathroom cabinet has a nice isolating transformer on the shaver socket but the new one is straight to mains and thus not suitable for (UK) bathrooms. Oh China, you cheeky rascals.

This is the kind of art that no AI could create. I'm safe in the modern world.

First lawn mow of the year

Hello folks, it's Spring and the weekend, so let's play some Neo Turf Masters for the week's challenge. We'll be playing the Germany course. Can anyone 1cc this game of links?Everyone is welcome to play. Scores can be posted in this thread and/or the challenge site: mycrappygames.com/highscores/D...

That is the kinda thought through idea that would add value and usp to a Commodore product. Something designed with modding in mind, with a panic button reset so you're always safe to tinker.

Current hypothesis: Best deals are buying from the destination carrier. If I start on Southern and end on GWR, the Southern tickets were most expensive cos they'e got your money, they dont care about the second leg. If you buy from GWR they were the cheapest cos they want to get you on their network
