Anyone in Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, have a Mac SE/30 they're willing to part with? #macse30 #retrocomping

I'm really inspired by people making old games that actually run in dos. My game is really only restricted by the palette and resolution and it's otherwise a modern engine.

I guess my hope is that I use the extra power for meaningful features that wouldn't be possible on old hardware rather than just wasting it on modern computing bloat. Stuff like the goal-based npc behavior planning and world simulation.

I was given an old #commodore #vic20 ~15 years ago and have still never turned it on. Some day soon I'd like to, but I don't have a display for it or any software.

I need to try again soon to figure out how to do neat stuff with 6502s. I wonder where my little board is...

Pretty crusty. Any recommendations on an ultrasonic cleaner? #marchintosh #SE30 #retrocomping

Finally found a reasonably priced copy of Steve Cartwright's "Hacker" for the Commodore 64.

Have no intention of playing it (don't even have the hardware), just love this cover. Planning on framing it and hanging it up in my office.

Commodore 16 is alive! Now only if I knew BASIC 3.5! #retrocomping #c16 #commodore

Something is wrong…yes I do have a regular SE logic board inside but with four RAM sticks. Either all the ram isn’t showing or they are four 128k sticks - was that ever a thing?! #Macintosh #retrocomping

I think it’s time to let go of some #retrocomping kit.. would anyone be interested in an Apple ][, Monitor ///, 2xDrive ][s, quite a few cards, including Microsoft Z80 SoftCard, EPROM Programmer & many books? Won’t split, in Kent, England; could deliver in-area.. Would any computing museum be interested? Worked last time I used it, will probably need electrolytic capacitors replacing. I’d appreciate a boost, thanks!

An ATX motherboard that has 12 Z80s on it, as much RAM as they can handle, and a ridiculous, over-engineered bus to hook them all up to function as a single dodeca-core CPU. Then, make a graphics card out of three V9990 chips (one for each color) with VGA and composite out and you have a computer that I think many people in a certain space would buy. Just slap a protected-mode graphical OS and an HTML4 web browser on it, and release everything as open source.

This site rocks! I used this MBR disassembly to debug an issue trying to boot Windows 95 in MAME. The MBR was reporting “Missing Operating System” because the partition entry pointed to the wrong start sector. Oops. http://starman.vertcomp.com/asm/mbr/index.html#standard #RetroComping #ibmpc #DOScember

Something to do with my old C64, set it up for doing 2FA, because why not http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/11/meet-your-new-two-factor-authenticator.html

Lol... #mytopshelf seems to be a thing at the minute...there may even be some books on there... #RetroGaming #RetroComping #NeedsATidy #wires #amiga #zxspectrum #NeedToFixThemAll and my apologies as I don't know how to do audio descriptions for the pics... 😞
