The PortaSpeccy is released and joins all the other #opensource/#openhardware projects on codeberg.org/Jonn-reenthu... And re:enthused is ad free on YouTube (and, of course, ad-free on MakerTube) makertube.net/c/reenthused... www.youtube.com/@reenthused

It's time to make the Mechtrum files public and free to download. It is a none commercial licence, but I expect someone will ignore that and have them for sale soon. #zxspectrum #3dprinting #3dprinter #retro www.printables.com/model/118675...

Ok. This will explain what happened, why, and what I have done to make sure it (probably) wont ever happen again.

Really getting into consoles programming #retro #retrogaming #sms #colecovision #msx kiblitzing.blogspot.com/2026/06/real...

Oof, well I can't afford a Steam Machine then

Okay, so I think I have a plan for #Synthesized this weekend in Cambridge! Nothing like leaving it a wee bit late ... www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/76919/sy... ... I'm going to try and recreate my early 90s setup ... but with modern twists! 1/4

It’s bloody hot

It's not often you hear the phrase "retired racehorse" in a positive way

Today’s flowers from a walk: Purple ones in the grass. No idea what type or name of them. Any of you know? Either way, pretty.

A lot of people don't realise this but in the UK we have to replace our Prime Minister every two or three years or else the rights revert back to Marvel

So strange to see videos about the Commodore phone filling up with comments such as "wow I've been looking for a phone like this for years". Perhaps they don't have a phone section near the entrance of Tesco over there. www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/p...

BASIC Programming on original hardware ZX Spectrum+ The progress on the Football game, LIVE stream continues Sunday 21st 8:30pm youtu.be/Y6sEZZO2ENk?...

Ooh, Rogue Trooper is out tomorrow

There we go, the PortaSpeccy introduction stream has finally been uploaded to MakerTube, hopefully this is the last one that I need to do this to because I *think* i've worked out where I went wrong makertube.net/w/eCL4u6Q3y2... #RetroComputing #Maker

If your YouTube channel / PodCast etc is sponsored by a betting company then you should feel personally responsible for people who lose everything because betting can be an addiction

That’s weird - why is this channel suddenly interested in laser cutting? “So XTool reached out to…” ah, there we are

PortaSpeccy stream done, here's the repository codeberg.org/Jonn-reenthu... #RetroComputing #Maker #3D-printing

And with that, I now have every model of Gameboy. This actually feels really weird. This has been a goal of mine for a long, long time. The Micro was the last one eluding me. They’re just so pricey.

This is a real longshot, but do any of you happen to be collectors of ZX Spectrum games and have a copy of the game Journey's End? Because it's supposedly one of the games Games Workshop published in the 80s but I cannot find images of a GW version anywhere. Only the Mastertronic release.

Going live with the PortaSpeccy at 8GMT on YouTube because I couldn’t get anything else to work www.youtube.com/@reenthused

This should be illegal

I’ve written half a page of my new book. The story is in my head but the flow just isn’t coming. I wonder if I’m trying to push it too hard because I don’t want this one to take the age to write that the last did

Pyjamarama for Acorn Electron (WIP). Colourised all furniture and checked all 30 rooms. Wally can now move around and jump 😎 (capped at 25fps like the ZX Spectrum original, colour clash not simulated 😉)

This has been a tricky week for being able to focus on making art, and also a zero sales kind of a week, so if anyone wishes some original art in their life, just sayin, I’ve got some. www.chloecumming.com

Had a great catch-up today with former TT Fusion / TT Games colleagues Roy and Wiz. It's been over 6 years since we last saw each other so there was lots to talk about. If you've played any LEGO handheld videogames then it's very likely we were part of the development team that created it!

We only have a handful of pins left for the first 100 orders of the game Diggy Diggy Mole for NES and FC. If you want one, don't wait too long. Thank you all for the warm welcome you've given this new game NES ➡️ www.homebrew-factory.com/nes/195-digg... FC ➡️ www.homebrew-factory.com/famicom/196-...

A glimpse into the future here at Camputers Ltd as we show a very early design for the soon to be announced Camputers Handy

We're disappointed in the feedback we received about the Tactile Communication System. We just want to say, don't you have homes? Surely you have a home that you can stay in whilst waiting for a call? Also, this isn't a rebadged phone, we chose the colour and type of bell and everything.

It’s finished, hopefully I’ll have a PortaSpeccy livestream this weekend showing the build process and releasing the files so anyone has sad as me can make their own

The new and improved banner is usually a sign something has been made cheaper and worse, but in the case of this Feast ice cream it seems to mean they’ve replaced the chocolate with Nutella, I can only assume someone is getting a knighthood or Damehood for that decision

It took a few days but the Chinese company I got the PortaSpeccy keyboard for have helped me fix compatibility issue - I’d started designing an alternate top case to work with a slightly more soulless keyboard but it should work now

If anyone in the UK is after a C64 there seem to be an unusually high number up for live auction at the moment (also a whole bunch of Warhammer 40K stuff) www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auctio...

Get ready for the next brand new product announcement from Commodore, here's an early pre-production sneak peak www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010...

HOLY SMOKES #C64 AFFECTIONADOS! Look at what @sarahjaneavory.bsky.social has been up to..?!??! 😍 #IndieDev #PixelArt #Legend

Amazon has failed to deliver my new fan for the second time, Royal Mail has failed to deliver my fathers birthday present for the second time and the company I got the keyboard from that I’m using in the PortaSpeccy has stopped answering messages - it has not been a good Customer Service day

Wow I didn’t expect this sort of positive response! Thank you all. If you would like to support me, please Wishlist my game - bit.ly/4bf4lZi

A BASIC animation series I wrote for Computing with the Amstrad magazine when I worked at Database Publications. This is the 3rd and final article in the series from June 1985! I can't believe this was 41 years ago when I was just 19 years old.

With the Megadrive stuff and this emulator, I've probably got enough material for at least a year's worth of blog posts. Talking of which, I need to finish the next installment of the Megadrive sound driver stuff where I confuse then unconfuse myself about how the operators work in the YM2612.

I don't believe nobody made a punk version of Clive Dunn's Grandad
