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

Super fun supper! Meatballs, roasted potatoes, roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts. Diet Pepsi.

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.

😲 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

I didn’t realise how much I’d love the Mega Drive Mini Got it on a whim but it’s so gorgeous it’s getting pride of place on the desk!!

It often goes unrecognised that in addition to being a finely tuned satire and sci-fi action flick, RoboCop is also a *black* comedy that's laden with gallows humour. "I am what you call a repeat offender. I repeat: I will offend again - I get my orders from a higher source." 😂

During the early 80s, Parker Bros. entered the video game market and released numerous high quality arcade ports and original games for U.S. consoles and computers. Among them was Frogger for #Atari 8-bit computers. As the Chicago Outfit would say, you be careful crossing the street! #retrogaming

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.

#LogLoads64 Locomotion Ahhhh, who doesn't love a puzzler on the ol' #C64? Plenty. That aside, this little gem from 1992 is an ace take on the old track junction switcheroo vibe and there is a lot going on. Not least, as you can make your own levels. Plenty going on and its all wrapped up nice too!

Happy World Book Day! 📚 I hope at some point later this year to be able to show off my personal library, which runs into the thousands but for today, I present *one* book that I'm currently reading. ☺️ #worldbookday2026

These stats are depressing and they forecast a gloomy future for the UK. "Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information... What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who would want to read one." – Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

How's your gaming backlog?

Whilst practice hasn't made perfect (so far!), persistence certainly pays because I've now managed to at least qualify for Dropzone's Hall of Fame on the #Atari 800XL. Maybe I'll be able to submit a high score soon. Let's see how I get on. ☺️ 🎮 #retrogaming

Going through all the CRTs today and every single Amstrad monitor works. These things are bombproof.

Treated myself to a new #vectrex controller. It's excellent, my old one had 5mm+ up & down play in the joystick.

It is absolutely heart breaking watching years of relationship building, interface and quality monitoring NHS work just recklessly binned (along with many of the staff) by this government for no good reason.

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens? Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.

Gonna set fire to my neighbour's house because he is gonna set fire to my house. I have no evidence that he is gonna set fire to my house, but I'm doing a pre-emptive strike. BRB. If my neighbour retaliates, you must kill him for me. This is how self-defence works ♥️
