Happy 30th anniversary to my all-time favourite game console! I have been up to some cool stuff recently, which I did for @guerrilla.bsky.social - let me show in a thread ❤️

#OPNsense 25.7 "Visionary Viper" is now available.

Really great of @aergan.com to think of messaging me when going through some family stuff recently. What has turned up is a C120 with two episodes of Peel’s Pleasures (John Peel). And if my research is correct, one is archived and just partially. These could be better quality. So,important stuff.

Today on hayfever

Quick break from my post-driving around in London brain exhaustion coma to find these two waiting for me #Transformers

To help with fixing the region flicker, i made a flex pcb. github.com/Board-Folk/N...

It’s our faces in @retrogamermag.bsky.social 274 @bitmapbureau.com Terminator 2D: NO FATE is the first new game to be featured on the cover, and check it out, a ten page spread. Thanks @hkt3030.neocities.org for coming to check out the game, asking questions, and documenting it for Retro Gamer

New workshop light going up over lunch break. Hopefully will be able to see what I am working on again. :') Will have to pop to the local shop to get some 3 core as all my runs are too short to route behind the back of the billy cabs.

Childhood me drew this PlayStation. On closer inspection, what child draws a fucking Caetla cart in their PS1? 😂😂

JFC.

Anyone remember having #Transformers Wreck Gar gloves? I did 😅

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/Teen...

A 100% free and slightly sad update regarding Chords: www.patreon.com/posts/132455... #indiedev #gamedev #sega #megadrive #segagenesis

Spelunking in parents attic. It is rather warm.

RIP Katsu / Pro's Kit desoldering station. We had a good 5 years together, many LaserActives and Multi-Megas. It's fitting that you chose my lunch break today to burn out your motor/pump. Will be investing in better trachea filters in future.

From Streets of Rage to Earthion 34 years ago I composed the soundtrack for a game that became part of Mega Drive history. Now, I’m back with a brand-new shooter packed with even more energy, speed, and power. Earthion lands on July 31. The countdown has begun. youtu.be/q-PEQZNurFs?...

I'm not looking for any trouble Mr Octopus

Hotel TV situation has escalated. #Nintendo #Switch

Neptune revision 1.4 has just been released, including the "region flicker" fix and some BOM updates/corrections. This one was a real team effort, so thanks to all who contributed! github.com/Board-Folk/N...

Status: 3rd trip to the tip.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the community, the Neptune "region flicker" issue has been diagnosed and fixed! To commemorate in true #Sega style, here's a service bulletin, complete with traditional inconsistent fonts and dodgy layout.

I have acquired new apparel for Retrofest.

New Substack blog slipped out. NeoGeo CD Top Loader fun. Will it / won't it work? open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Neptune builders/users should be aware of this very weird issue. TLDR: a few games that actively access the region/version settings of the console display artifacts in certain mode combinations. If anyone has more ideas regarding the cause we're all ears! github.com/Board-Folk/N...

I've managed to re-create Amber for the Amiga! Scanline jumper option for progressive too! Details here:- patreon.com/c/GadgetUK164 youtu.be/lnWmyq6kDQg #commodore #amiga #electronics

All these rechargable ML2032's are not all for PocketStations. That would be silly. Two are also for a VMU.

Me: I need to update my retro PC BIOS. Also me: (at 1AM) #BIOS

Enjoy! Please share any pics of your own installs, along with any feedback you might have for me ❤️

Introducing the VMU Pro. The last VMU you'll ever need for your Dreamcast. But it's not just for your Dreamcast. The VMU Pro can emulate your favourite 8-bit era handhelds and games consoles like the Game Boy Color, NES and Master System on a beautiful 16-bit color IPS TFT display. 05.15.25

USB-C rechargeable (play and charge!), back connector (custom PCB), and super efficient (90-95% range). Will be selling a few to recoup cost (without 2x18650 cells), asking €25. Will also provide required parts as kit later, if you prefer to print your own shell! All will be open sourced too.

Compiling . xkcd #Linux #Debian

My turtle has taken to using her log to surf the output from the filter pump

Think this might be the last one found in a box, in a bag or on top of / under attic boards.

This took forever, and have gone through a great deal of my spares trying to find a working screen, but it’s finally verified.. @cosam-the-great.bsky.social’s PC Engine GT repro board works! ❤️

Something that has been on my backburner for ages had been doing a SEGA Nomad battery. I initially went and designed one to look good, but turned into something that is cheap to make and easy to print/upgrade! These can be made <10$ (excluding batteries) :D

Also finished up some final repairs and cleaning on my Voodoo 2 SLI setup 12MB pair whilst I had the chance. One card has cracked joints on the FBI/CK which I repaired but hadn't cleaned up and the other had early signs of failing FB ram (320ohms vs 3.3K) & some cracked ceramics. #3DFX #Voodoo2

Made my own take on the 3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI bridge PCB as I wanted something to fit my build's aesthetic (And also, because I can). Very pleased with the result! #3DFX #Voodoo2

They removed Chocobo World for the Final Fantasy VIII Remaster, so now turtle has to go spin :/

Not one, but two Sega Dreamcast Divers 2000 CX-1 CRT TV’s at the Made in Japan event - the Centre for Computing History, Cambridge. How good do these look together?

Love the pinecil and knife tip
