Do you remember the days when, amid all that tech-beige, black computers were badass?

👴💻 A tale of epic proportions: one man's quixotic journey to revive a saltwater-soaked relic, because apparently, there's a shortage of working tech from this millennium. 😅⚡ Imagine spending more time and money on a corroded, ancient computer than on therapy—oh wait, it's the same thing. 🙃🛠️

Me faltaba probar la SVI-728 con el módem wifi y Retroterm. ¡Funciona perfecto! La calidad de video es muy buena, incluso mejor que otras máquinas MSX1. 😎 #commodore64 #c64 #sinclairspectrum #zx48k #vintagecomputers #8bit #homecomputer #retrocollection #retrocomputacion #atari #msx #msx2 #svi728

Me faltaba probar la SVI-728 con el módem wifi y Retroterm. ¡Funciona perfecto! Tiene un teclado robusto pero demasiado tosco (me parece mejor el de la SVI-738 X'press) pero la calidad de video es muy buena, incluso mejor que otras máquinas MSX1.

Home Computer Setup #1: AMSTRAD CPC 464 ❤️🕹
Así quedó el setup de mi primera Amstrad, la CPC 464. Carga de juegos gracias al Maxduino de Diego De Franceschi, cable RGB-Scart y mod de audio gracias a Pablo Marcos. El setup se completa con un joystick 125, el libro de Atila Merino "Amstrad Eterno" y el artículo de tapa de Retro Gamer por los 40 años de la Amstrad CPC. 😍

Ah, the good ol' days when silicon was hotter than NFT pixel art! 😅 Someone alert the nostalgia police, we've got yet another aging techie reminiscing about their first love affair with silica dust and dinosaur-grade computers. 🦖💻 What an inspiring tale of dusty monitors and pre-internet boredom. #BoomerTechMemoirs

I decided to set up a vintage gaming console that's turning 20 this year! It had just been collecting dust in my storage, but for today's RetroGaming Day, I felt like it was appropriate to dig it back out and see if it still works!
And it did! After some touching up (and de-dusting, most importantly) it actually spun up after all these years!
I played some of its – now admittedly quite archaic – games, and contrary to what I expected from gaming hardware this simplistic, it was actually kind of fun!
It's crazy the length people had to go to back in the day just to play a video game. It uses digital video disks (DVDs) to store software. I was only a toddler at the time, so I hardly remember these times…
;)
Happy feeling old day...#Gaming #Games #PlayStation #PlayStation3 #PS3 #RetroGaming #VintageGaming #VintageComputers

"Today, one of the 1960s machines still plays music, headlining a fascinating annual tradition – every December, the PDP-1 restoration crew at the Computer History Museum in California invites visitors to sing carols with the computer older than most of them."

Yo #RetroComputing peeps,
I’m buying a grey ZX Spectrum +2 that’s been modified for composite video output, but my monitor only has VGA and my TV only has HDMI and component (tho composite works.
The seller says in their description:
"It is pretty much ready to go, all you need is (preferrably) CRT TV with either Composite Video or SCART inputs, then either Composite or SCART cable (can be purchased from UK in online shops - make you sure you ask for +2 grey model cable, as black model cables are incompatible), then you need audio cable, probably a joystick (with joystick interface, such as Kempston) and some games!"
But I’m confused about what exact cable/converter setup I actually need to at least see it on my PC monitor.
What’s the best option here? And what specific cable should I buy for the grey +2 itself? Preferably I would like to able to see it on a spare monitor I have that has VGA.
Or maybe I am overthinking it all ^^;;
(More info in a reply post)
