Hello kind folks of Mastodon...
If you enjoy the Game & Gadget Podcast, please leave a review on your favourite podcast player.
It can really make a difference to getting more listeners & I would love to see our little podcast grow to a wider audience.
Something is Very Wrong With the AY-3-8913 Sound Generator - The General Instruments AY-3-8910 was a quite popular Programmable Sound Generator... - https://hackaday.com/2025/04/15/something-is-very-wrong-with-the-ay-3-8913-sound-generator/ #retrocomputing #mockingboard #ay-3-8910 #ay-3-8913
Who recognises this wonderful retro Technology, used in Times Long past for retro places where UUCP was the language between machines, port 23 was actively used over POTS twisted pair wires, and the Sysop could read all text you wrote...
GOING LIVE! Streaming some 6502 #emulation development in #Zig!
Come for the zig, stay for the apologies for being gone for a week.
Falls hier noch wer ein Turbo Chameleon hat und es von einem Apple-Rechner via USB ansprechen will: Hier ist eine gepatchte Version der Chaco Commandline-Tools, die auf aktuellen macOS-Versionen (mit libusb aus Homebrew) funktioniert: https://github.com/noniq/chaco
Alright, nap didn't help all that much but we're here. #GoingLive in about half an hour to set up Caldera OpenLinux 1.1 on my DOS/Win3 rig! Come heckle me in the chat as I struggle to get X to work.
Gonna be on #Twitch for this one:

Cooler Emulator und Du kannst nicht nur Programme per Drag & Drop auf den Bildschirm laden, sondern auch einfach Assembler-Quellcode dort ablegen und übersetzen lassen.
Nach Jahren wieder mal das „Matrix-Grand-Prix“-Projekt ausgegraben: Da gabs bisher einen Prototyp, wo ein Arduino den Schrittmotor angesteuert hat. Jetzt macht das der C64, stilecht mit Joystick-Eingabe.

#ZX81 scratchings update: with a little time this week, I managed to press buttons and add some more to my MGAc!d inspired... game? Now with added being able to spend cards to move, trashing cards, and querying squares.... This is the slowest progressing basic program ever. Note: video is at like 10x actual speed! #RetroComputing
King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella. This is one I've wanted to do for a while and HungryGoriya's recent play-through gave me the perfect excuse. I'll always love watching this one because it leans so heavily into classic horror tropes. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for that stuff!

CW: Trees with ominous faces
Think I finally cracked using jrouter, tashtalk and netatalk together to work with netatalk and #globaltalkk
- Separate systems for netatalk and tashtalk
- tashtalk and jrouter can be on the same system
- tashtalk and jrouter must use unique MAC addresses
- tashtalk uses tap interface on a network bridge
- jrouter uses network bridge
- netatalk uses network bridge
- netatalk atalkd.conf set to autodiscover on network bridge
- jrouter is a seed router, netatalk and tashtalk are non-seed routers
- Startup order is: jrouter, netatalk, tashtalk, clients
I tried many things to consolidate down to a single RaspberryPi, but even with adding a USB NIC for jrouter/tashtalk and netatalk on the internal NIC things still wouldn't work 100%.
Packets were somehow "eaten", which was odd because the AppleTalk zones would show up in Chooser, but the netatalk file server wouldn't, or when it did it could give an error when trying to connect to it.

Auf der Original-Festplatte eine deutsche Version von CheckIt 3.0 gefunden. Und aufschlussreiche Infos über den Vorbesitzer. Zum Glück außer DOS, Windows 3.1 und Word 6.0 nix weiter drauf. Daten wurden wohl schon vor Ewigkeiten gelöscht (oder waren nie lokal gespeichert).
Nachdem wir im Januar '24 ja schon den Sourcecode von #Gemini (dem echten, nicht dem Google-Rotz) veröffentlichen konnten gibt's jetzt auch noch den von Gemini2, den @jreschke von der Platte seines alten TTs retten konnte.

Enjoy!
