I’m glad everyone is safe. What a senseless, stupid, and uncool way to ruin the remainder of an otherwise beautiful community event.

Release v4.1.1-beta.1 · polpo/picogus Fixes/improvements Fixes major issues in v4.1.0 where stale printf code in modes would cause the firmware to panic. SB mode Fixes clicks during single-cycle DMA audio playback. GUS mode Fixes on...

Over the past few days I've released some beta firmwares for PicoGUS to address the issues in the v4.1.0 release. This one is basically a release candidate; if it's all good I'll release it as final in a couple days. github.com/polpo/picogu...

WILD GUNMAN: Resurrecting Nintendo's First Coin-Op on its 50th Anniversary
WILD GUNMAN: Resurrecting Nintendo's First Coin-Op on its 50th Anniversary YouTube video by 74XX Arcade Repair

I was bummed the 74XX YouTube channel hadn't uploaded in a while but today was blessed with this amazing video that starts with finding some Wild Gunman film reels and ends with an amazing recreation of the original game. Probably my favorite low sub channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOfq...

Surprised I came across some sketches I did not know I had scanned/archived. This is an early Glider sketch when the paper airplane was the more common kind.

It looks like electrical outlets might have given you "shots", not destroyed you. Ceiling ducts were bad too.

I have a few more I can post.

Are you going to VCF East this weekend? Stop by the Totally Normal Computing booth in Hall C to chat with @mac84.bsky.social , @actionretro.bsky.social , Mike, and me! I’ll be bringing the Model 80 for people to try their hand at OS/2 games and apps. Maybe its slowness won’t drive you crazy!

Glider Retro App - App Store Download Glider Retro by Victor Franco on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips, and more apps like Glider Retro.

I know, the timing is weird.

Victor Franco ported my published sources for Glider 4.0 to the modern MacOS and, yes, we have another Glider game for the Mac.

It's faithful to the original Glider 4.0 that came out in 1990. (And it's free.)

I re-made Glider some years back for MacOS/iOS. It broke at some point (perhaps an Apple change for Retina displays?) so I pulled it from the App Store.

(Claude looked at the code—found some minor coordinate issues. Thanks!) Glider Classic for MacOS is back on.

Thank you! SyQuest was always something "cool" to me, as my dad would bring home these mysterious disks back from his graphic arts office to work from home.

I have quite a few operational SyQuest drives, if you ever need them copied over I can try my best to recover them. 👍

One more video for #MARCHintosh while there's still some month left. I got these (via a friend) from a professor who had been keeping his Macintosh LC III with its original boxes which had even done some overseas travel with him.

Time to look inside, recap, clean, and play.
