When it comes to the important things in life, I am a man of my word.

Now what if.... You could control your mechboard back lighting from BASIC? Maybe by ripping out the RS232 interface that is rubbish and noone uses anyway.... 🤔 (credit to @breakintoprogram.co.uk for providing the decimal values needed to control the AY registers on his website of wonders)

It does work! Shift+6 = ⬇️. A proto-optocoupled-mechboard 🤩

Awesome. I think that might work.....

Old person flashbacks of both "the Home Computer Club" and "Special Reserve" back in the day. HCC : influx of very cheap games when you signed up , but then had to order one game per month (or get the Editors recommendation) Found a scan online - what would you order? #c64 #speccy #retrogaming

PIXELS! #SamCoupé #BootSector #SizeCoding #demoscene #ROBERT

Just picked up my first ever 3d design from @logrus.uk (my personal print shop). The fit is exquisite. Well pleased.

We're working on a new video (possibly several) and we need your help... Has anyone got any photos or videos (inside or out) from old arcades from the 80s, possibly early 90s at the latest? If so and you're able to help, send us an email to [email protected] Thanks!

The heretofore cassette tape exclusive edition of Buzzsaw+ with the extra gore and good stuff has been re-released as a digital download! ionian-games.itch.io/buzzsaw-box-...

#C64 Buggy Boy Super Saturday Offroad Challenge! Any more CONTENDERS..?!?!?! @jasesdesouza.bsky.social @fuzzweed.co.uk @pacbilly.bsky.social All welcome!

Top tip 👇. Suggest reading context tho rather than just randomly snipping them up for fun. Or do that too. Whatever.

Welcome to the weekend folks! This week's challenge is Gradius Galaxies for the Game Boy Advance. As always scores can be posted in this thread and/or the challenge site: mycrappygames.com/highscores/D... All are welcome to play. Feel free to invite friends too!!!

It's official. I'm upgrading this to best TV intro of all time. The style and composition is faultless in all aspects. And that applies to the video and the music.

I love it when stuff just fits together like it was designed to be. Random ebay psu in a random aliE case like a glove, and I've got a cute little boss eyed power supply for the atari.

So we all know that robocop stayed at number one all year in 1989 so here is a budget top ten chart this week ..enjoy youtu.be/rvsmiLI31SE?...

🏍️🎸🍟😍

FRI-YAY guessing game ⏬

YAAARRRR!!!!!!

😍😍😍

Haggling With The Sogdians

I have waited a VERY long time to do this! I first saw an article about connecting a video camera to your Dragon way back in Dec 1985 and it really sparked my imagination. The idea that a camera could be digital and the images stored on a computer were so new and exciting ... 1/4

I've found a single board dvbt receiver / decoder that is a gnats whisker off fitting inside the Sinclair. This can be done.

Stormtrooper, hung on wall by me. 2026 Ofc the real art is in the correct choice of nail.

Motorcycle Maze #Atari800 A) of course I didn't type it all in. B) I have saved you from the full 9 minutes by using magic 🪄 C) I am extremely excited by this game because we had a very similar one at primary school and this has saved me several thousand pounds not having to buy an RML480z anymore.

Urgh. How do things go from working to broken without being touched?

Publicada nueva versión del #ChikubiNinja arreglando un par de cosillas. Corre a descargarla!! ... Just released a new version of #ChikubiNinja with a few fixes. Go for it!! #MSX

The great advantage of my handy solution is that, technically, nothing is ever in the wrong place.

New chiptune banger just dropped 👾 Megaman × Sonic × Giana Sisters = MEGAWAVE🔥 Did you check it out yet??

It's spring! Time to start the planting!!!

Happy Saturday folks! This week's challenge is Varth (arcade). As always, scores can be posted in this thread and/or the challenge site: mycrappygames.com/highscores/D... All are welcome to play, and feel free to invite friends!

Magnifying lid on with internal sound. Not a lot to squish inside, although it's pretty crammed in there already. Maybe get away with fixed gain and bias if I can find a good setting that works with most stuff. And replace the earphone with an AV in.

Nailed it. Faster op amp and some pots to tune the gain and the bias. And a 25fps camera

All things to all people. Who wanted free view? And who wanted a coat hanger aerial? @funkym217.bsky.social @ax3man1ac.bsky.social

Fkn hate this bit

😲 Move along. I've got dvd playback on the Sinclair Ftv1. Stupid locked 30fps phone is making shite look shiterer but even so, it's a breakthrough. Turns out it's after +ve sync signal so just running it through an op amp to invert it for now, and it works!

Stupid game

Phwoar. That's a good one. #work

Update: Dvd and TV getting rolling ghost images. Something there but not good enough to show off. Zx Spectrum, nothing. So actually so far it's hats doffed to @tynemouthsoftware.co.uk and the minstrels no nonsense IT'S BLACK. NOW IT'S WHITE video signal.

I think maybe try something with a bit more of an in-spec video signal, but I don't think Clive would be too upset with that as a first attempt

🤔

SALE -70% ! 😎

Pretty sure the ping pong was broken at the start of this too. 2-0 to me.

Nothing on TV. Again.

Run! Run for your lives! A strange fire ball doth appear in the sky!

"Ret'roids", my #PETSCII entry for last weekend's #C64 demo party "BCC #20" in Berlin. Enjoy. Download: csdb.dk/release/?id=259570

t's the weekend, so it's time to game. This week's challenge is Drop Zone for the Atari 800. Scores can be post in this thread and/or the challenge site: mycrappygames.com/highscores/D... All are welcome to come and play. Feel free to invite friends!

I started The Commodore 64 Ultimate Owners Group on Dec 7th to get owners help with their new C64U. We are now at 5700+ members in less than a month. I'm hoping to make a friendly group where owners can learn more about the new C64U and all it can do. #C64 #Commodore www.facebook.com/share/g/16yq...

I think my fingers might only be condyctive at the edges.

Windows 10: potentially give my data to Chinese hackers. Windows 11: definitely give my data to Microsoft 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
