Happy MAR10 day to all those who celebrate.

Low Effort Month: Loading tape games on the BBC Micro using a tape deck. We're incredibly busy and waiting for bits to complete a couple of projects, so here's another low effort video, where we just take a simple idea and make the quickest video we can. This time we're loading tape games on the BBC Micro.

Such a stylish show all over, one of my favourites

A blurred image of a screen displaying text in Japanese related to calibration and positioning. A crosshair symbol is centered on the screen. An oval of the screen is correctly coloured, the outside of that is bluish and inverted

Well good and bad news, it does power up - but looks like some screen burn. If I’m lucky it’s just the film

Mario Artist: Polygon Studio on the Nintendo 64DD YouTube video by Re:Enthused

Nintendo has had a lot of hits, games, consoles and add-ons. But they weren't all winners. Here's my playlist of videos about an add-on for the Nintendo 64, the DD64 #RetroGaming

Converting the Amstrad 464 Plus: Does it actually work? We've just got time for one more #Janstrad video, now we've upgraded the memory to 128K and added the components necessary to use a disk drive we just have one more question, does it all actually work?

Just the listing, his whole page is full of copied stuff, including Atari ST ports to the Jag

Yeah, I know - hopefully it’ll be faster though because they have a specific rule around trying to circumvent a takedown

As far as I can see he did the same thing as me, maybe it just took multiple submissions

I don’t take part in things like #marchintosh anymore, but here’s the video I released 5 years ago

Really? I like the PC engine version personally - but then given that I grew up with the Sinclair Spectrum version it may be that we’re coming from a different place :D

Sverx over on Mastodon managed to get the listing taken down

Ah well, screw it, it’s not even that great a game, it’s ok - but it seems that everyone believes you have to give everything you make away for free and you have no rights. I think I’m done. Thanks to everyone who did support my games, you’ve proven there are good people out there.

Yeah eBay are fine with someone stealing my game and selling it on their service - after an apparent actual human looked at it I’d now have to take legal action to stop the guy.

They’re such pretty machines

That’s definitely not the case for Hydlide and Mappy as they both say they have to be loaded from IPL, and probably not one of the lode runner tapes because that does attempt to load - but the other one fails with a bad read mode error, so maybe

There isn't one, it just restates the problem several times and then says 'that's it'

None of the tapes loaded, which is worrying because the only thing i've ever successfully loaded on it is BASIC. Although that does load 99% of the time. I'm wondering if a) there's a ram issue or b) I don't know what i'm doing

Oh yeah Solaris 10 was always unlikely to run - but it’s also the only install I can get to boot into the kernel

A sharp X1 in red. A screen behind shows text that reads IPL is loading Lode Runner

Crossing fingers and toes

A vintage Sharp X1 computer is prominently displayed, featuring a keyboard and a cassette drive. Nearby are two cassette tapes for Lode Runner and a game box labeled "Hydride for the Sharp X1." The background includes a cluttered workspace with additional keyboards and cables.

Will any of these tapes load? Probably not - the X1 tape drive is ropey at best, but if we can even load one game we have an exhibit #RetroComputing

Turned out that the installs were failing so early they weren’t populating the devices - if I kicked it off manually it worked - now labelled and repartitioned

I’ve got it, thanks though

I've no idea frankly. The mount obviously works, it pulls the kernel across from there, but then fails to mount it. So either it doesn't like the kernel or it suddenly can't read from NFS. The only reason I think that might be happening is because a tcpdump shows a wave of file not founds

The image displays a computer error screen showing a system panic message. It includes details about a failed attempt to mount a root filesystem, along with a warning about not being able to add a route. The screen also indicates that a reboot is occurring after skipping

Ah, the 8 and 9 editions of Solaris aren’t segfaulting, they just can’t mount the root - I’m not sure why but presumably something in my NFS setup - even though it works with 10
