Released the "Snail Maze+ for WonderSwan" source code and a new release build!
An example project of sorts for using Wonderful Toolchain and programming the WonderSwan, certainly not a masterpiece in terms of design, structure, etc., but maybe still helpful to someone trying to get started! :3
3 vertical panels. Panel 1 labeled 2014 - me with short hair in front of a CRT with Shenmue on it and a Dreamcast, SNES and N64 in front of it. Me saying "I love collecting retro game stuff! I'm gonna play ALL the games!" Panel 2 labeled 2019 - me with slightly longer hair, more consoles in front of the TV, with static on the screen. Me saying "These old systems needs a lot of maintenance. I have to get better at electronics repair. Panel 3 labeled 2024 - even more systems on the CRT, but me with my current long hair sitting at a table with my back to them, soldering a circuit board, my custom PICO-8, my handmade Vectrex controller, my "Game Man" I made by consolising a GBA on the table and me saying "...remember when I used to play games?"
Since it feels like all I've been doing for the last 3 weeks has been repairing my game collection, today's #throwbackthursday is the little comic strip I made about this EXACT situation two years ago!

We have a great team of testers here at AmigaVision — but they all seem to live in the UK (I wonder why?) 😄 We’d love to add some testers on US time zones and AU timezones to have round-the-clock coverage. So if you love the Amiga and are on ICT time or EST/MST/PST and want to help out, send us a DM
That's actually quite ingenious.
Here's a quick video on how to enable NES/Famicom #Lumacode support, if you're running the latest #OSSC firmware. A full written guide, plus links to the palettes and pre-configured profile can be found on the main page: https://retrorgb.com/osscneslumacode.html
Interested in lossless (no compression artifact) Sega CD BIOS backgrounds, including 4K wallpapers?

Made a little X68000 mount for it, which prints in 25 minutes and no support required. Sometimes simple is all you need
I got mine from them too. Was a bit disappointed with the 3d printed case's quality but the rest was fine.
Yes they will. Who cares if it devalues collections? I have Neo Turf Masters AES. Last I checked (years ago) that goes for over $20,000. If it's devalued to $100 or so I don't care. I don't treat games as investments, I treat them as games.

The BIFROST* Engine solves the ZX Spectrum's colour clash problem with clever 8x1 multicolour rendering - and it's open source. Games like Knights and Demons DX were built with it. sinclair.wiki.zxnet.co.uk/wiki/BIFROST*_Engine
I see we have the same approach to screw management. Laying them out on the table in a fashion in which they map out their position on the console.
There is a direct line from Andrea Leadsom lecturing Pascal Lamy (former director-general of the WTO) on the scope & purpose of the WTO to JD Vance lecturing the Pope on theology. Brexit married weapons grade ignorance to epic entitlement in ways that hadn’t been seen for ages. And on it goes…

A famous piece of animation by Takashi Nakamura
The entire American conservative MAGA “movement” has been a Russian funded op the entire time. Follow the money. It’s a straight line from Putin to CPAC.
That was quite the find!

These devices stack nicely, but unfortunately slide around too easily, making it precarious to operate or move around🤔
This solution resembles the Sharp X68000 with parts and options to fit your personal taste😌

As promised last week, I've been messing around with #FlipperMCE and Swiss and got something working that I just didn't want to completely keep to myself 😉
It's a PoC, it's really rough, the code is smelly, but it boots some games at least 😉 Full writeup here:
