My good friend Troy Schrapel sent me this from Australia. These Pico9918 replace the old TMS9928 video chips (TI994A, Colecovision, MSX, etc) and give HDMI/VGA output. The Pico PEB extends the TI994A with 32K RAM. emulated disk drives, and a ton of peripherals. #retro #retrogaming #ti994a #msx

I always wanted an #Atari 600XL, I got one in bad shape and shipping broke a corner. I cleaned it, and I got a black screen. Replaced DRAM and 74LS158, I got a BASIC screen for few secs. Testing cartridges I discovered it behaved better. I inserted DKJR 20 times and solved! #retro #retrogaming
Indeed! I needed to have it!

I never have used a key holder, but I bought this, maybe I can start today 🤪✌️ #retro #retrogaming #donkeykong
Jaja bien dicho 😀
I got another E.T. from the same vendor, and I discovered the cartridges and manuals were switched. Can you notice the 1986 copyright and the different windows on the spaceship? E.T was reedited! The original box looks silver, while the newest one is yellowish. #retro #retrogaming #atari
Crystal Castles rulezzzz. 2nd edition but still sealed #retro #retrogaming #atari
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Pascal compilers dying on fire off the shoulder of Windows... I watched assembler code glitter in the dark near the LED debuggers. All those moments will be lost in time, like BBS messages in Fidonet... Time to log off.
Nice! I'm glad you are enjoying it. Thank you for sharing!
I had loose cartridges for E.T and Snoopy, but this is my first time getting these complete-in-box for my collection #retro #retrogaming #atari
I'm going to have a table with retro systems this Saturday and Sunday. #retro #retrogaming
code for a function that matches negative keywords, such as "ffs" "horrible" "fuck you" "this sucks" "damn it" etc. and then sets a value to negative if found
thomas points out that claude code does "sentiment analysis" in the same extremely sophisticated way we did it in 2008 for the twitter zeitgeist tool we built for pepsico's sxsw experience
My own article gave me an idea on how to optimize the 6502 16-bit multiplication with 28% speed-up, and the calling code speed is enhanced as well. Available in the CVBasic repository github.com/nanochess/CV...
I wrote a small article about the development of Metro Wars for MSX2 #retro #retrogaming #msx2 nanochess.org/metro_wars.h...

JR is two cycles slower if the case is taken.
I disassembled the Atari 130XE keyboard. Can you see the broken lines? I got conductive adhesive from Amazon (very difficult to manage!) made a very botched repair, put the hair dryer, and corrected glued lines scratching with a screwdriver. It works! #retro #retrogaming #atari
The TI99/4A keyboard works now. I just removed the key caps, put isopropilic alcohol in the holes, and punched all keys.
Maybe I have too many 2764 🤪 and my hundred random TTL chips pad doesn't fit in the picture. #retro #picture #chips #ttl

Time flies! Not sure if in hz or megahz 😂
The keyboard has some bad keys, and I think I can repair it. In the meanwhile I can play Borzork by yours truly using a joystick 😀 #retro #retrogaming #ti994a
Cool! I've some TI99 cartridges, books, and I'm only missing a TI Extended BASIC cartridge.
I've repaired a TI-99/4A. The video chip was failing, and it was replaced. The screen was still black, I followed the trail to the CPU that had all addresses as tri-state. I got a TMS9900 from China, removed the original, put a socket made of pin rows, and et voila! #retro #retrogaming #ti994a
The MSXdev'25 contest closes with 50 entries in competition! All-time record! Some very impressive entries using the newest 8MB ROM mapper (that's right, a Z80 CPU at 3.58 mhz. using 8MB of code/data) #retro #retrogaming #msx #msx2 www.msxdev.org
