  2. Testing some stuff I'll hope to bring to a retro computer party on Saturday, where I'll attend with two friends. No drive emulation, just real floppy disks. It'll be glorious.

  4. Stasera ho iniziato un gioco nuovo (e con "nuovo" intendo sviluppato di recente) per SEGA Mega Drive e sono rimasto folgorato dallo stile e dalle idee interessanti. D'altra parte, è opera di Kai Magazine Software, team responsabile di tante belle cose uscite su MSX. Credo proprio che mi divertirò. #megadrive #sega #SegaMegaDrive #theSecretOfTheFourWinds #retrogaming #crt #crtgaming #kaimagazine

  6. Feeling sick, so maybe a good time to dive into Sonic GX on my Amstrad GC4000. I've seen Sonic being spun over to a lot of systems, from Atari 2600 to C64, but none were too convincing. This one, however, is very impressive and holds its own even against the Master System version. It features unique levels, comes with tons of colors, runs pretty fast and has parallax scrolling. Wow! Take a look at it yourself if you can. I've recorded a very short (and not well played) effort here:

  8. Today I fetched a parcel from Songbird Productions from the post office: My copy of Wings of Death for the Atari Jaguar arrived, and it is awesome! The game loads from cart, but the music is fetched from CD accordingly. That makes this the first Jaguar game that does that - good stuff. It's tough, but so nice to play it on the Jag like this 🥰. Cheers everyone, enjoy your weekend 🙌🕹️

  10. Yesterday, my daughter said that the whine of the 46-inch Behemoth CRT was “so loud”.

    If you are not aware, CRTs running at standard definition NTSC refresh rates generate a distinctive hum at 15.734kHz due to vibrations in the deflection coils and flyback transformer. Most adults lose the ability to hear frequencies that high as they age, but younger folks can usually hear it. I know I certainly did.

    What’s funny is that sound was ubiquitous throughout my childhood, to the extent that I (and most other kids of my generation) tuned it out. In a way it was a sort of superpower, being able to tell if a television was on nearby. And coincidentally, the world shifted to LCDs right around the time I got old enough for my ability to hear that frequency to fade.

    Of course nowadays I have mild tinnitus taking the place of that familiar whine. I tune that out too. 😅

  11. I finally assembled a racking setup that allowed me to get all the CRT TVs organized - except for the two in the house for active use.

    All of them are rescues, and many still need more thorough testing or calibration, but they're all shelved and accessible now.

    One day, I'm hoping to do an interesting combined display with it, like Matrix-style raining text or something kinda spooky for Halloween trick-or-treaters.

  13. In other news: Oops, I bought another CRT monitor. A green phosphor one from Noris Data. I had one like this in the late 90s as well, got it cheap from a fleamarket. Only got this one here because memberberries and because it was so cheap that the postage is way more expensive than the thing 😂🙈. Will be a new project though, as it seems to not display a picture from what I read. High voltage seems to work though, so probably (hopefully) not a big deal. Unless something broke inside - then I'm screwed 😂, but for the price, I just wanted to take a risk. Will see when it arrives here.

  15. In other news: I got (another) small portable b/w CRT TV. A "Realistic Portavision". Love the handle it has, reminds me of a SX64 to a certain degree. So I had to test it with my C64 :-) Overall condition is nice and it works just fine. Now I'll part with one of the more recent, smaller other CRTs I have to make room for it (and to calm my conscience).
