RIP Bobby Prince, *the* music composer of the shareware PC gaming era.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

My new article about my Klondike Solitaire game for curses in 5K of C language is now up. #developer #programming nanochess.org/klondike_in_...

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

My first draft article for the tier 32-bit fan members is now available in my Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/post/New-dra...

Go to Youtube to see the live streaming of the 29th IOCCC winners announcement. The first winning entry so far is a FORTRAN card reader calculating a black hole! #retro #retrocomputing www.youtube.com/live/MoWCwZx...

I've updated my Ko-Fi page with member tiers like getting early access to my articles, reading my drafts, or simply supporting my retro work. #retro #retrogaming ko-fi.com/nanochess

I got a nice looking Sigma C64 non-working. I discovered the PLA enabled all chips at the same time! The bus contention made chips really hot! I bought a replacement PLA and I had to change all the RAM chips for BASIC to work. Also repaired some broken lines for cartridge. #retro #retrogaming #c64

Oh god why did this not happen?

I finally tested my ECS Extended BASIC language with an Aquarius Data Recorder and a real cassette tape. It works just fine 😀✌️ #retro #retrogaming #mattel #intellivision

Due to popular demand, updated family gathering.

I've these in the collected volumes but always wanted to get the original magazines for these issues of Dr. Dobb's Journal. Steve Wozniak writing games and Landon Curt Noll (way before the IOCCC) announcing the discovery of the 26th Mersenne prime. #retro #magazines

So Gen V made a Doctor Kay and they just ran around doing nothing in The Boys? 😂 😂 😂 The weakest season with lots of holes (V1, old heroes), wasted characters, and some terrible perfomances. The final fight is reasonable, but it doesn't push you to the edge like previous seasons. #theboys

I wanted the power led working in my Atari 600XL so I bought a new membrane from Retro Fuzion. The installation is relatively easy and now it works! The original membrane is oxidized. #retro #retrogaming #atari

Isn't it beautiful? Casio FX-750P programmable in BASIC language #retro #calculator

I only had one Z80 CPU so I ordered a few more #retro #zilog

Cellphones from India for Mexico and someone supplies this cheap adapter. It works, but the metal softens along time and starts to deviate to the side and this happens. Lots of sparks, and it will blow your fuses. If you get one make sure it has retention pads at the top to avoid side movement.

I seem to have no spare working Amiga floppy drives around, so I just setup a Teac FD-235HF-3240 to work with the Amiga. If you have a 3XXX version of this drive, there are bunch of small jumpers: Set RY34 (Ready signal on pin 34) and DC2 (Disk change on pin 2.) Then set DS0, FG, HA, HF and NMK.

To go with my #opensource SDK, I’ve now released an #opensource developer cartridge for the Epoch Super Cassette Vision. Get both at my Codeberg repository #RetoDev #RetroGaming codeberg.org/Jonn-reenthu...

Today is the MSX computers day. Let's put some MSX in action! #MaySiXth #retro #retrogaming #msx #msx2

I made a Motorola MC68000 processor tester just to make sure the ones I ordered from China were legit. Bus fixed to 0x4e60 (Move to USP). I couldn't use NOP 0x4e71 because it is odd and used for the reset vector. #retro #motorola #mc68000 #diy #electronics

Time to read a classic book. #retro

I just got my first MC68000 processors 😁 I used one on my Amiga 500 to see if I could get it back to work, but it has deeper bugs that I need to find #retro #motorola

A few weeks ago I ordered an Aquarius Data Record because I never had tested my new ECS BASIC with cassette, and a few days ago I bought some Atari Mexican cassettes. Today, I received the recorder and I connected it to my PC and dump one of the cassettes. #retro #retrogaming #atari #cassette

Avatar: Fire and Ash. Jake Sully again travels with his family, and guess what? They are attacked. Performances are bad like in your grandma's novel, script is predictable, excitement is non-existent. You can watch this boring movie if you feel like you need to be punished for 3 hours. #moviereview

After my previous attempt, I decided to apply hydrogen peroxide to my Atari 600XL and I managed to get the right tone this time. #retro #retrogaming #atari #atari8bit

For my first application of hydrogen peroxide, the bottom TI-99/4A (the one I changed the TMS9900) is now whitest than a nice one (top) 😅 and the keyboard couldn't be bothered, instead developed white streaks. You can see my old picture with the yellow tone #retro #retrogaming #ti994a

I just noticed an ultra-weird thing in Firefox, I opened eight images for downloading, and then I started saving every file. For the first one, I chose the target directory, and every single time after, the Save dialog would start in a >random< directory. Why not the last one??? #browser #firefox

Dr Dobb's Journal issues in very good state for $2 USD each one 🤤 www.ebay.com/itm/13649704...

I was age 12 (circa 1990) when a local shop put up a pseudo-arcade Atari with B&W screen and a weird sea game. My only clue was the walking monster. 36 years later, I've found it: Crash Dive, and the bullets barely are seen, at the time I didn't knew why my ship exploded #retro #retrogaming #atari

My good friend Troy Schrapel sent me this from Australia. These Pico9918 replace the old TMS9928 video chips (TI994A, Colecovision, MSX, etc) and give HDMI/VGA output. The Pico PEB extends the TI994A with 32K RAM. emulated disk drives, and a ton of peripherals. #retro #retrogaming #ti994a #msx

I always wanted an #Atari 600XL, I got one in bad shape and shipping broke a corner. I cleaned it, and I got a black screen. Replaced DRAM and 74LS158, I got a BASIC screen for few secs. Testing cartridges I discovered it behaved better. I inserted DKJR 20 times and solved! #retro #retrogaming

I never have used a key holder, but I bought this, maybe I can start today 🤪✌️ #retro #retrogaming #donkeykong

I got another E.T. from the same vendor, and I discovered the cartridges and manuals were switched. Can you notice the 1986 copyright and the different windows on the spaceship? E.T was reedited! The original box looks silver, while the newest one is yellowish. #retro #retrogaming #atari

Crystal Castles rulezzzz. 2nd edition but still sealed #retro #retrogaming #atari

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Pascal compilers dying on fire off the shoulder of Windows... I watched assembler code glitter in the dark near the LED debuggers. All those moments will be lost in time, like BBS messages in Fidonet... Time to log off.

Ya estamos en Plaza Galerías Estrellas de 11am a 8pm. #retro #retrogaming #atari #Commodore #nes

I had loose cartridges for E.T and Snoopy, but this is my first time getting these complete-in-box for my collection #retro #retrogaming #atari

I'm going to have a table with retro systems this Saturday and Sunday. #retro #retrogaming

thomas points out that claude code does "sentiment analysis" in the same extremely sophisticated way we did it in 2008 for the twitter zeitgeist tool we built for pepsico's sxsw experience

I've repaired a TI-99/4A. The video chip was failing, and it was replaced. The screen was still black, I followed the trail to the CPU that had all addresses as tri-state. I got a TMS9900 from China, removed the original, put a socket made of pin rows, and et voila! #retro #retrogaming #ti994a
