I tried to emulate 90's Anime, I don't think i succeeded, but it still looks DREAMY. #90's #anime #retro #art #digitalart #unicorn #cute #challenge #retrochallenge #comic Upsilon looks just as good in 2d as he does in 3D!
I tried to expand on my #RetroChallenge and build an #RC2014 module that could decode the 8 bits returned from a NES controller using just 74 series logic and a 555 timer.
It didn’t work. I think I have the timing slightly out so some of the logic is triggering too early. I need a dual scope!
The #RetroChallenge may have finished, but I have a bonus post.
The SNES controller is an extended version of the NES controller.
So, I have reworked my #RC2014 NES controller module and Z80 assembly language example code to use the SNES controller.

We're kicking off our first Long Play with the intense GBC homebrew, Mount Crymore by Pigeonaut! Watch us climb, risk, and maybe fall trying to conquer the world's deadliest summits.⛰️

It's the final day of the #RetroChallenge so I've written about my finished project.
In this post I explain how I was able to connect my RC2014 NES Controller module to a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and how I hacked the Manic Miner code so I could use my new module.

Totally stunned that the Pico MZ-80K won the "general" category in last year's #RetroChallenge! Thank you to everyone who voted for me, followed the project, etc. etc. etc. #RetroComputing

I teased this a few days ago, but here's the latest part of my #RetroChallenge
I've been able to put together the various parts I've already written up, and I can now move a pixel on a LED matrix using an NES controller on my #RC2014.

I've been using the 8x8 LED Matrix module on my #RC2014 recently as part of the #RetroChallenge
I've written up how it works, and also added a demo program in Z80 assembly language converted from the original BASIC example.

I've written about creating a reusable Z80 subroutine to read the NES controller on my #RC2014 computer as part of this year's #RetroChallenge
To test it out, I output the returned value to LEDs.

More progress on my NES controller module for the #rc2014 #RetroChallenge.
I am now able to move a pixel around on an 8x8 LED module using the NES controller.
Lots to write up over the coming days.
More work on my #RetroChallenge today. I was taking the out from the NES controller, reassembling it on the #RC2014, and showing the output in the red LEDs. I then noticed that I’ve accidentally reassembled the byte backwards. Oppps

I've been working a bit more on my #RetroChallenge, getting an #RC2014 to talk to a NES controller.
In my latest post, I explain how I've used Z80 assembly language to work out which buttons are being pressed and to print this back over the serial terminal.

I've soldered up the PCB for my RC2014 NES Controller #RetroChallenge
Thankfully, it all seems to work, so I've written about how to use this from MS-BASIC.

I'm not able to take part in #RetroChallenge this year, but I've just spent a few minutes enjoying last year's writeup of my #Sharp #MZ80K emulator for the #RaspberryPiPico . The plan for winter is to have a bash at #MZ700 emulation - faster clock & colour too!

More work on the #RC2014 NES controller #RetroChallenge this evening.
I have designed a circuit and PCB that should allow me to bit-bang the NES controller from my RC2014 computer.

It's a great bit of kit. I'm using mine at the moment to take part in this year's #RetroChallenge.
It's official, I'm taking part in this year's #RetroChallenge
I'm planning on getting an NES controller working with my #RC2014 computer.

A floating, animated tiki-style mask with glowing red eyes and two large yellow hands appears against a dark red patterned background. The mask has tribal designs, red feathers on each side, and an open mouth with visible teeth. The hands are raised as if ready to attack.
A stylized elephant and a zebra are standing on sandy ground surrounded by scattered yellow bananas. The elephant is looking up with wide eyes and holding a banana in its trunk. Large green jungle leaves are visible behind them.
Two cartoon apes, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, are standing in a lush jungle environment. Donkey Kong is in the foreground looking slightly upward, while Diddy Kong, wearing a red cap, is sitting on his back with one hand resting on his shoulder. Tall green palm trees and bright blue sky are visible in the background.
Donkey Kong is standing alone on a golden stone platform in front of a large, circular temple door. The architecture is ancient and stylized, with intricate patterns on the door. Behind him are tall palm trees and a partly cloudy sky. The scene is peaceful and quiet.
Eight worlds. Countless retries.
Mine carts, rocket barrels, and one very persistent dad.
And now I stand before the Golden Temple… thinking about doing it all over again. 🍌

A digital graphic features a navy blue vintage rotary telephone icon centered on a white background, surrounded by three large orange question marks. Below the phone, bold navy blue text reads: “If you rang 987-1212 in 1990, what name would be on the other end?” followed by “EMOJIS ONLY!” in all caps. The design uses a clean, flat style with a playful trivia theme.
Who remembers???
