Amazon will offer the option to download eBooks directly as EPUB and PDF, as long as the seller doesn't include DRM. Well, I've never included DRM in mine, so the Architecture of Consoles eBooks will offer these options asap www.kdpcommunity.com/s/article/Ne...

I've revamped the GBA article with new info about backwards compatibility, hidden modes in the PPU (which I suspect they were meant for a stereoscopic mode, a la 3DS) and the wonders of the Link cable. This is to prepare for an upcoming book release. www.copetti.org/writings/con...

I see a lot of people talking about it but no documented specs anywhere (only percentages by Apple). I'm most interested in whether they've finally implemented the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) to unlock better support from the compiler (www.phoronix.com/news/Apple-M...)

The latest book in @flipacholas.bsky.social's Architecture of Consoles series is now available to purchase as either a hardcover or paperback. Links and pics of the one I bought in the post: www.retrorgb.com/architecture...

Good news! The third book of the Architecture of Consoles series is out! 'The Pioneer Race' collects the analyses of the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Virtual Boy, and Nintendo 64. You can find it here www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMXYJ6LS

By popular request, I’m now offering hardcover editions alongside the paperback version. The new edition is larger, printed with Amazon's premium ink and bound with a sturdy cover. amazon.com/dp/B0F4P5RB25

While I thought @flipacholas.bsky.social's 1st book was good, this one really hit home, as it's all my favorite consoles! Any retro dev's, or just passionate retro nerds might want this one - Links and more details in the post: www.retrorgb.com/architecture...

The second book of the Architecture of Consoles series has been released! This time, it compiles the NES, Master System, PC Engine, Mega Drive, SNES, and Neo Geo articles - a group I've named 'The Sprite Decade'. You can find the book here: bookgoodies.com/a/B0F9LQPPNZ

I just received my copy of @flipacholas.bsky.social 's book and was really impressed. I mean, I'd read most of it before on his site, but there's something about owning an actual copy that makes it much cooler!: www.retrorgb.com/architecture...

The first book of the Architecture of Consoles series is now available! This compilation features the Xbox 360 and PS3 analysis for an interesting comparative study. Notice the cover was designed to contrast both systems. You can find the book here: bookgoodies.com/a/B0F4P5V47K

I've extended the PlayStation 2 article to talk about the PowerPC inside Slim models. I thought it was just a simple CPU along with an emulator to run PS1 games, but it's the weirdest SoC I've ever seen. Thanks svk77 for reporting this. www.copetti.org/writings/con...

I've been busy experimenting with a new medium that a lot of people have been asking me: An actual book! I think I found a nice balance and I really like the result. Soon I'll be sharing it with friends and supporters to gather more feedback before making it public

I've spent the last weeks improving the build scripts of the website, eBooks and PDFs. Now, hyperlinks in translated articles point to the article of the same language (if available) and PDFs display useful footnotes. This will become handy for producing a physical book!

As promised, here is a new article: PlayStation Vita (Part 1). Enjoy! www.copetti.org/writings/con...
