Didn’t realize my feature request was fulfilled! Cartridge support, loads quick! It’s a convenient & modern way to convert C64 save states to something permanent/physical, or via flash cart. Completely skips the slow disk boot time. github.com/tommyo123/Vi...
loved this game as a kid! “gee that’s too bad” was a running joke in the family, we played it so much.
gave up counting and just took a pic of my last winning hand and tenbou…. 41k? 51k?
final riichi mahjong hand. riichi and ron on 2 of bamboo. final count of tenbou… 41k?
Newly expanded? I bought this version in 2021
“I am a Cat” book (volume 1) by Natsume Soseki on a Riichi Mahjong table
Finally finished this, what should I read next?
7 pairs hand in tenpai, declared riichi
I finally got to play Riichi Mahjong irl this weekend… didn’t win any hands but it was really fun!
got a receipt printer based on thirtythreedown.com/2025/11/02/p... but it lacks macOS support, so I vibe coded a web version ctp500.neocities.org
Proof that the Amiga 1200 can use a Sony PCGA-DVD51 pcmcia DVD drive.
Thanks for sharing! I managed to get this to work with the even cheaper Sony PCGA-DVD51 DVD drive that the readme mentions.
there’s two battery bunnies?
Hey, I was wondering… which battery brand features a pink bunny mascot?
At a store, want to know a price, but the scanner kiosks were removed. Sign said to use their app. Okay? Download the app, scan the item I’m holding, but it’s “out of stock” with no price! Amazon app had no problem, added to cart. Never thought a brick-and-mortar would actively promote showrooming.
Ikiru on Bluray
I didn’t realize it’d be a work holiday, so I thought I’d sit down and watch a movie I hadn’t seen before 🫠
a large display of Japanese fiction published in English
I was thinking, after reading Dazai’s No Longer Human/A Shameful Life, what should I read next? someone at the bookstore had me covered…
Pi install with screen showing errors in 9x
Random errors in “Windows 95”
BSOD
I was there too! Loved seeing the 9x BSOD again.
Amiga 1200, on the screen it says in FinalWriter “I will never financially recover from this.”
What have I done? #amiga #amiga1200
Were you also watching MeTV Toons? As soon as I heard that theme, I immediately turned it off.
コインいっこいれる！
I was originally excited about ATSC 3.0, even provided valuable feedback to station engineers with incorrect implementations... until DRM forced me to revert to 1.0, which is unusable during severe weather. So thanks DRM, no one will be pirating your life saving information. 💀

This story of one coder's 16-year effort to make an emulator for a largely forgotten laser disc video game system is a fun reminder of the mountains people will climb simply "because it's there."

Pico and Timex Datalink software syncing
New v1.2 release for the RPi Pico Timex Datalink adapter, fixes sync issues I was having on Windows 11. github.com/famiclone650...
Love when I leave myself breadcrumbs from 25yrs ago.
With the new Commodore reboot I started wondering if I could do something with the piles of C64DTV chips I'm hording. Totally forgot I had already planned HDMI/digital video interfaces.
With @polpo.org 's latest 3.x firmware, the PicoGUS is able to emulate a CD-ROM drive! Using ISO and BIN/CUE images on a USB stick, it eliminates yet another unreliable component with moving parts in a retro PC. Join me today as I take this new feature for a spin!

I remember playing this at Jillian's.
It’s good knowing someone else tried similar steps, I was maybe heading in the right direction. Before the disassembly I didn’t get anywhere, so thank you for that. Displaced Gamers’ YouTube series dealing with these issues helped me understand more, so I should revisit it.
I kind of remember that almost worked changing this. Slow frame rate, but it wasn’t stable. It kept crashing. I would’ve been happy if it was slow but stable, then I could look for any optimizations. But again, I don’t know what I’m doing.
That is exactly was what I was trying to figure out myself, but maybe I didn’t go low enough. If the viewport could be shrunk, that would have been my other hope for optimization. Storing some kind of optimized math routines in ROM would be my next guess, but also beyond my abilities.
Oh lol, I already took a stab at it with your documented version, but I had no idea what I was doing. I’m impressed you got it to work at all on NTSC, and would love to just try the terrible frame rate version on my NES (and see what changes you made!). At least it wouldn’t look all glitchy.
Hey, the NES version is 6502, right? Bonus points if you get it to work on NTSC, it thinks too hard during VBlank.
Well... here we are. #Tariffs will destroy the vintage computing hobby (if you let them). youtu.be/yRpltgz3ldo
