#retrocomputing nerds: I love the zuluide and picoide! But I would love to have something cheap enough to slot in all my ide devices. The last two days I've been searching for components and reading datasheets and I've come up with:
A device roughly $45 retail with:
* Dual device emu

Today's work on my game consisted of fleshing out the MacGuffin home, so it looks more like people live there.
I'm allowing replies and quote posts. Be nice, this is the first video game I've ever written.

🔊 I have seen a C5 on the streets, though @davevelociraptor.bsky.social ’s “Winter Olympics” raises a hearty laugh from @jasoncompton.bsky.social - “as an earnest product, no, no and no. Every ounce of derision was deserved…” 🥹

Happy Pi day everyone! Here is some goodie from a few years back. Find the code for #vic20 or #c64 here: https://github.com/polykit/vic20-compute-pi

Can you remember Winamp? It was the music player to have back in the day. There was also a plugin that that added LEDs & speakers that attached to the player.
Inspired by this, my PXR MIDI Player now has these optional additions...

19 bare computer motherboards - circa 1990 to 2010, laid out in a grid on the floor.
Before I dive into reviving the built PCs, I figured that I better get a handle on my mobo graveyard.
I'm ready to part with almost all of these, although I might try to resurrect 2 or 3 of the most useful or unique ones (Looking at you, 'Batman's Revenge').
