Apologies for the ongoing issues with Tindie. It now looks unlikely the site will recover from its current problems any time soon. My devices can still be purchased via ebay, links are on the product pages:

This might not look like much, but it's 149KB of uncompressed VGM data streaming from disk on a BBC Micro with a total of 32KB of memory. Next I'll add the inflate decompression to the streaming and hopefully playback to the SN76489. π€

Apologies to anyone trying to buy my devices from Tindie. The site went down for over a week, came back up, went down again, and is a complete disaster right now. π©

For the first time the Plus 1 Mini expansion unit for the Acorn Electron is available through Tindie! To celebrate, there's 5% off everything in my Tindie store until the 22nd using code RAMTOP5.

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of
#Elite
for the
#Acorn
#Electron
. This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of
#BBCMicro
Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM. Links in thread.

Atari Missile Command for the Acorn Electron + 16k of sideways RAM. Progress remains good, moving as much as possible out of the main memory map into the SWR memory space to get the fastest speed possible. No sound at present, going to be a challenge to emulate a POKEY chip on here.

Multi-part tunes via SWRAM banks are now working on the BBC Micro Music Player & Driver. I can finally play lengthy conversions such as Rob Hubbard's epic Knucklebusters track at nearly 17 minutes. Time to put some new music disks together...

On a whim I counted all my retro computers. I have 24 of them. That is either very bad or very good, I'm not sure which...
