Finally!!! This is the first time any Konami Python 1 arcade title has ever been emulated! This is technically "in game", however PCSX2 hard crashes after this step so still lots of work ahead. Nice to see some progress after entering the FireWire torment nexus

Big 🧵time! Lets talk about my new friend, the Konami Python. It's kinda the odd duck of the family. The middle child between the Konami Viper and the Konami Python 2. The system was a short lived platform.

i reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5! check it out at github.com/schlae/cm5-r...

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, I spent the weekend creating a patch for Bug! and Bug Too! to run on modern Windows Bug!er Up fixes Windows 11 compatibility; adds support for XInput controllers, removes the CD-ROM requirement and allows custom soundtracks. github.com/LukeUsher/bu...

Does anyone happen to have access to or know someone who has access to an Olympus Lext OLS3000 or OLS3100? Been unable to get mine to work and I don’t think its hardware failure but I have very little information as to how things should work.

Herman miller wanted $700 CAD to replace my 10 year old seat cushion. Time to add amateur reupholstery to my skill set. My backbone will enjoy this greatly. Old cushion for comparison.

I'm so concerned for the fate of the hobby electronics industry in the US. I have friends who run small online shops selling modern hobby retro gear and it feels like, at least for now, it's going to end in short order. No one can absorb these tariffs. blog.adafruit.com/2025/05/08/h...

Anyone use Intel's 386 processor from 1985, the first 32-bit x86? To improve performance, it preloaded instructions into a 16-byte prefetch queue (highlighted in red). Why does such a small queue take up so much of the chip? Let's look under the microscope at its complicated circuitry... 1/N

Edmond Jordan and I attempted to make a diode today! We over-cooked the spin on glass (SOG), but a lot of great lessons. Hopefully I'll cut a video soon

I’m taking a moment and mourning this fallen soldier of the Great War of DRAM.

A new version that supports all motherboard revisions is finished, however due to tariffs and Hong Kong halting shipments to USA I'm uncertain when I will be able to test it. Hopefully sooner rather than later. :(

My first video on an Atari Lynx game is here. Escape Slime World as the nearly fearless space explorer Todd. youtu.be/-RbuAZvY8ZE?...

The great @redherring32.com made me an amazing case for the Tiny Tendo! I love it 😻 Now I have to get to trimming some chips #midwestgamingclassic

Honored to have met so many wonderful people at this years #midwestgamingclassic How did they get a monster truck to the third floor?

It's another #RandomGameSaturday! I reached over to our OG Xbox library and came away with the third (and final) game in the Midtown Madness series. Trivia: The PAL version here has a sound bug where pedestrians speech will sound like stone golems trying to talk. Let's see what you got, peeps!

my toxic trait is wanting to reverse ever device i have to make a pink pcb for it

On April 19, 2025, we will be performing live at Revision in Saarbrücken (DE)! The demoscene and crackscene music and culture have been shaping the very essence of this project since day one and playing at the world’s biggest demoparty is an honor that truly takes my breath away. SPREAD THE CODE

Why can’t I ever work on a project without it looking like this?

Little Tobey Maguire sneaks off to play the Atari Lynx in the bathroom. He has somehow concealed the massive fucking console in a comically large inner-pocket of his jacket. The batteries keep dying while the scene is filmed. It has to be plugged into the wall, creating a continuity error.

I'm all set up for Insignia! I've got my controller, I've got Counter-Strike - I've even got a Hawk, too!

this is the uA702, the first commercial analog chip (an op-amp). it was designed by the legendary Bob Widlar and went on the market in 1964 for $300 each. that's $2500 adjusting for inflation!

This is worth watching. What is happening is serious and it has real consequences for so many people. youtu.be/XzX0hSW3W4g?...
