@GamesMissed we've done Fujinet bring ups for a wide variety of machines. Such as #atari8bit #colecoadam #apple2 #trs80coco #msdos #msx and even #atari2600 . More are happening as we speak. Any and all, come join us

Great, the routing for the 53C80 / '133-free #MiSCUSI (#Apple2 #SCSI yada yada) has been completed.
There are some things I want to tweak now, then the fill zones to prepare and tidy up, but I expect the prototype to be ready for a production test within the week.
But this is enough retroing for today: loads of other work to do before the end of the day.

We have a new addition to the 6502 Elite Source Code Family Tree!
Turns out the Elite Demonstration Disc is a fork of the cassette version, but incorporates the docking computer routines from the disc version for the self-flying combat AI.
Welcome to the tree, demo. 🫡

#VCFEast2026 was a success for #FujiNet. Lots of people saw our diverse #retrocomputing platforms and are starting to understand that we want to bring a useful network adapter to their favorite #atari8bit #Apple2 #TRS80CoCo #MSDOS and more systems.

#x68000 arrived, and everything works awesome.
Because of it I finally got off my butt to also buy the 90cm deep table I was eyeing, so that a #CRT has actual space on it.Not fully finished yet, but at least I have some space to put some #vintagecomputers on a table.
Will need some shelving as well.

A reminder that there is a Game Lobby built into #FujiNet, offering access to cross-platform multi-player networked games! Press 'L' in CONFIG!
5 Card Stud, Battleship, Fujitzee, in an open API.

Here are the reconstructed schematics of the #apple2 #SCSI Rev.C card:
https://codeberg.org/hkzlab/AppleII_SCSI_RevC_schematicsThese will be the base for a clone I'll work on soon (SMD based, someone else is taking care of the THT).
Given that everything you see inside the repo is taken from the community, I am giving it back, in case someone else wants to have fun with the schematic and use it as a base for some #retrocomputing project.
Just be aware that I do NOT own a card, so I could not check every connection personally. Hopefully it's correct.

🪨 dBASE on the Kaypro II 🛠️
Armed with nothing more than a blinking cursor, I build an inventory system for my failing software retail shop (just play along with me here). I also explore #cpm add-on options for the #apple2 #c128 #colecoadam and others, and whoops! Did I accidentally become a #dbase programmer in the process?

Version 1.5.2 of the #FujiNet firmware has been released for #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #CoCo, #ColecoAdam and #RS232 platforms.
You can get it via the FujiNet Flasher:
https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-flasher/releases/tag/v1.5.0* Increase # of VFS slots to 20, fixing crash.

A paper on how to reuse interpreters to get inform v3/5 games on your Apple II:
https://www.kansasfest.org/wp-content/uploads/apple_ii_inform_paper.pdfThere's just a slight issue: the linked tool used to interleave v5 story files on floppy images can no longer be downloaded.
The original URL is http://3.buric.co/interlz5-001.zip, archive.org doesn't seem to have it.Please, tell me that someone here has it...

#atari8bit #apple2 #coco #c64 #plus4 #commodore #trs80coco #msdos #pcjr
All playing the same networked game. Together.
More to come.
That's FujiNet.

I have finally understood a key part of the encoding of #quicktake 150 images, and that gives me hope again to finally shrink this bit buffer to 8bits.
I failed three times already and could only get it down from 32 to 16 bits.
This thing is not just Huffman encoding. It reads bits without discarding some of them in one situation (or refuses some). This is weird and leads to wild left-and-right shifting in all cases, which is vastly suboptimal.
#Retrocomputing #apple2 -
I thought I was nearly done with the big wins, but I gave a second (or fifth, probably!) look at the bit getter, which of course works by shifting bytes (a thing the 6502 does one bit at a time...).
I (finally) managed to get it down to an 8-bit "buffer", and that paid off!-11 seconds.
#RetroComputing #Apple2 #QuickTake -
As I don't have any new project in the pipe, I spent my saturday going back to see if I have progressed in #6502 #assembly, and gave a bit of attention to my #Quicktake for #Apple2 JPEG decoder.
I think I progressed: decoding a Quicktake 200 photo now /only/ takes 190 seconds (3 minutes 10), a 25% improvement and a whole minute less than previously!

Turns out it’s core is Print Shop but patching it so that it loads from the hard disk, has some other upgrades, etc. In many ways that’s even more impressive. Also the presenter wrote his own custom presentation program that runs on Apple II so could build a self contained presentation/demo of the software. #RetroComputing #InitHello #apple2 -
I love that enthusiasts continue to write new software for 8-bit computers, like this Print Shop style program for the Apple II being presented at the INIT-HELLO conference :) #InitHello #apple2 #RetroComputing

FujiNet is a WiFi Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems that (among many other features) brings together cross-platform game play!
Example shown here playing 5 Card Stud btw #Atari8bit, #apple2 and #pcjr systems.

Received my copy of #Penult in #cartridge form today. It's a #demake of #ultima for the #Atari2600, an #OpenWorld #RPG, I'm amazed that a game like this can run on my original 1977 #VideoGame machine. It was cutting edge to run Ultima on an #apple2 when it first came out in 1981. It even comes with an official cloth map. Super cool, thanks to #AtariAge and the developer. Maybe I should get it running in VR :-) Does anyone know where I can get an #Atarivox so I can save my game.

Want to help the #FujiNet project? Take the example programs we've made here, and make better ones. https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps #retrocomputing #atari8bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #Atari2600 #AtariLynx #RC2014 #trs80colorcomputer

Apple IIgs screen. No amount of #retrobright would have saved this one. The crust on it was unbelievable. Took 0000 steel wool and a LOT of scrubbing and a LOT of patience for this one... THis isn't even the worse side! And yes this is the bathtub :-) #apple2 #retrocomputing #vintageapple #retrogaming

New Yet Another Walkthrough! Phantasie 1 (1985), now available on my (new!) walkthroughs website.
Thanks to @a2_4am for providing the Apple II game disk.

New blog post! NEC loved the Apple II so much that they made one of their PC-6001 CRTs cosplay as an Apple II, complete with Motter Tektura logos. Too bad it doesn't work - let's fix it. #retrocomputing #crt #crtrepair #retrocomputers #apple2 #pc6001 https://www.leadedsolder.com/2023/11/14/nec-jb-1260-crt-monitor-repair.html -
An oldie, but didn't have it on my computer(s) yet.
Played the #tabletop #boardgames back when it was new, and the #Apple2 version when it came out.
Since I'm a bit of a #patientgamer I think the wait paid off. #Steam has it for 90% off and it works on my current #apple #MacbookPro as well as my #windows desktopHow could I refuse? Would have been neat if it was DRM free on GOG...

@TechCowboy ported the #Atari8bit #FujiNet Reversi from #AtariBASIC to #Apple2 #AppleSoft BASIC. Since it speaks the same protocol, it can play with Atari users, just fine. :) #retrocomputing #retrogaming :)
