I created a couple of ASCII aquariums with a couple of small ESP32-based display boards using this project... https://github.com/POWER-PILL/ASCII-Aquarium

Have you seen this @duhproject.bsky.social ? Looks pretty interesting. www.remapper.org

I bought a set of 5 Attiny85 micro controllers and used the Arduino IDE to dump a sketch onto them that makes them into mouse jigglers.. Basically they plug into a USB A port and emulate a mouse. It moves the pointer back and forth one pixel between every […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

Fired up the retrocomputers downstairs tonight for a bit of BBSing and gaming. #retrogaming #bbsing

Spent some time last night and today, and got Amigavision / MegaAGS working on the Annbernic RG406V under Daijisho and on the Steamdeck under Emudeck / ES-DE. In both cases I set up a second Amiga entry called A1200 that's completely separate from the default floppy-based Amiga profiles...

And since this was originally a presentation at a library conference, I have slides! If you’d like to watch a video with the slide deck in action, check out my PeerTube.

XEGS! I've wanted one ever since I learned of it's existence. Now I have one!

When you call the BBS and that thread about the Olympics has been going on way too long, sometimes you can abruptly end it by stating a long-held, possibly unpopular opinion on something completely unrelated...

Dark Force BBS rendered in VT52 on a Atari Mega ST 2.

Thanks to @duhproject.bsky.social I've been playing lots of PS1 games on the PS2 this weekend!

I have retained this ticket stub as requested. The theater though..not so much. It's been gone for a very long time.

One of the best versions of Galaga I've played on any platform!

For the love of all that is holy, someone PLEASE fix the horrific single-stick controls on the MiSTer Ballezone core and replace them with a dual stick configuration! Every cheap emulator I've had for the past 20+ years is superior to MiSTer for Battlezone because of that one single thing.

Top score tonight.

Finally beat Colt Canyon on the Steamdeck last night.

Ran across a box in basement storage...

First time I've had this one. I quite like it.

New arrival.

Using some of the upstairs computers for BBSing tonight. Hitting the ANSI BBSs via the MiSTer Amiga core and Term 4.7.

This is a slow process, particularly so right now, it seems.

@duhproject.bsky.social I'm about to start the FreeMcBoot hard drive building process.
