  1. Не то золото, что блестит, или интервью с коллекционерами из разных стран. Часть 9. Испания

    Сегодня вашему вниманию предлагается восьмая серия - Испания и её житель, скрывающийся под позывным DarkLolo .

  2. Broadband is down, but my backup is decent enough to allow me to upload this!

    I made some progress with #MOStermind, a mastermind port for the #KIM1, using the teletype interface. This was born more or less as a joke with a work colleague.

    You can see the current version running under #MAME here (but I have tested it on my KIM-1 clone already.

    There's plenty of optimization still to do, but the game is currently fitting in 1342 bytes, including both logic and text.

  4. Ho speso qualche ora a cercare di far andare questa hack per Cadillacs and Dinosaurs ma senza combinare nulla.
    Qualcuno ha idea di come poter fare?
    So che richiederebbe HBmame ma non è disponibile normalmente su Linux. FSneo o Mame possono essere un po' compatibili a seconda del romset, ma non ci ho combinato nulla.
    Peccato, sembra spassoso. Mi piacerebbe provarlo.

  5. How do you get this kind of romhack working? I'm wasting an afternoon to get something going, but everything I get just crashes.
    Somebody can help? Seems too much fun to try.

  7. Looking for anyone deep in Sega System 16 Z80 sound driver internals.

    I've ripped the YM2151 voice patches from the sound ROM ($0E4E table on Shinobi). What I'm missing is the SFX
    choreo voice note duration for in-game effects like the shuriken.

    Anyone help?

  15. Batocera – The Retro Arcade OS

    I have a mini-PC that my workplace isn't using so I grabbed it and brought it home. With this home labbing I have been getting into I thought about having a retro video game box. Most people get a Raspberry Pi and install RetroPie on it. The limitations is the micro SD card that the RPi boots off of. I have a mini-PC that uses an M.2 SSD drive to boot the OS off it. So I chose that to host my retro video game box. It only has a 250 GB SSD so I ordered a 512 GB SSD. As for the OS I […]

  17. Los juegos que tengo que Googlear para ver cómo son porque ya me dió curiosidad y con Mame que es una decepción tras otra, apenas puedo jugar al Outrun o al de los Simpsons... #startrek #videogames #Mame

  18. En #MAME si pulsamos tabulador veremos "DIP SWITCHES".

    La gente juega estos juegos y no sabe realmente lo que eran. Venían soldados en la placa del juego y permitían poder manipular dificultad, vidas, poner el juego en modo demo, ponerlo en modo fuera de servicio.

    Y es que esto eran armarios con su pantalla y su zona para meter monedas.
    Dependiendo de la posición de esos switches conseguías alterar el juego.

    Eran tiempos en los que "podíamos tocar los ceros y los unos" físicamente.

  19. Things I'd like to achieve next year

    ...with zero pressure - just stuff I'd like to do if I get the chance

    • Get as many of the #Psion SIBO C SDK apps rewritten as possible. I really enjoy using #FreePascal for this! It's vastly underrated for writing cross-platform CLI apps.
    • Make some code run on #EPOC16 from a tiny/toy #compiler of my own. Not an entire C compiler, just something where I've generated some 8086 (or NEC V30) assembly from something very basic that actually runs, including implementing the TopSpeed calling convention.
    • Work out how the #MAME debugger works so that I can add 4MB RAM support to EPOC16. Maybe learn some things about the internals of EPOC16 along the way. Eventually write this updated EPOC16 ROM to flash and get it running on real hardware.
    • Make a #PsiDrive PCB that can write to flash drives. Just needs a +16V boost converter added to the board.
    • Get an #RP2350 to pretend to be a small Psion SSD, using the on-die RAM and PIO. Bonus if it uses a battery. Extra bonus if it can write to external RAM or Flash.
    • Move #libsibo away from the Arduino libraries and over to the Pico SDK. This just feels like the right move, but means I'll need to learn cmake as well.
    • Learn how to write good unit tests. It's not a problem with learning frameworks - both fptest and fpcunit are simple enough. My brain is freezing when trying to decide on what to test and why. I know my code will improve once I've grasped this.

    There are a lot of moving parts to all of these. Some need me to learn multiple sub-skills, such as 8086 assembly. Like I said, this isn't a list of Things Alex Must Get Done Next Year. I'd be happy if I achieved just one of them.

    I'm curious... Which one of these would you like to see the most?

  21. "We Need a Little Christmas" is a very popular #ChristmasSong originating from #JerryHerman's Broadway musical #Mame, and first performed by #AngelaLansbury in that 1966 production. In the musical, the song is performed after Mame has lost her fortune in the #WallStreetCrashOf1929, and decides that she, her young nephew Patrick, and her two household servants "need a little Christmas now" to cheer them up.
