Anyone know if the Miyoo Mini Plus USB-C port can support input peripherals like a mouse and is not just for charging? I tried plugging a mouse in but it didn’t seem to power it and I can’t find any settings or emulator settings to enable such a thing

What is Loadstar? From 1985 to 2007, Softdisk, then J&F Publishing, then Dave Moorman, put out what's probably the longest-lived user contributed software periodical of all. 22 years of Commodore 64 and 128 programs! You can get them all (well, 99%, minus glitches) here: rodneylives.itch.io/loadstar

Me: Mom! I’m in the middle of a download! Mom: oh sorry, honey! Then worked construction all summer so I could afford a dedicated phone line. Ah memories

#LogLoads64 Spindizzy A little digging reveals that Shirley developed Spindizzy on the Amstrad CPC and it was later ported to the other 8-Bits like the #C64. Zzap BITD gave it an astonishing 98%, which seems too high, for the crazy difficulty ramp of the game. A fond classic though. Gorgeous map!

holy fucking shit Epic won this is huge, massively positive news for the games industry at large! Epic isn’t an angel but their case and cause on this was 110% the correct decision App Store not being able to gate 3rd party purchases in the US is !!!!! www.theverge.com/news/659246/...

The sound you get out of the Miyoo+'s built-in speaker sucks, but when you plug it into a "real" speaker it is glorious 👽 - wait for the bass drop! www.machine501.com/posts/miyoo-... * Note, the chiptune is the sample tune provided by LittlePiggyTracker. #chiptunes #retrocomputing #music

Oof .. these tariffs charges are one way to quit me of my electronics/retrocomputing hobby 🤑

"After 41 years of dedicated service, legendary SEGA composer Hiroshi Kawaguchi (aka Hiro) will retire in two days. The man behind iconic songs (Hang On, OutRun, After Burner, etc.) has just posted photos of his very first paycheck, dated 1984."

FREEZE64 issue 75 has been sent off to our printers. Full content details can be found at: freeze64.com/freeze64-iss... It’s another *CORKER* of an issue for all #Commodore64 #C64 enthusiasts out there 😃👍❤️

I got my Miyoo+ running OnionOS and it’s super nice. I like the stability and the extras like using smb to transfer ROMs, no need to unplug the card! Now I get to run #pico8 as Thor intended ;) Game www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=160... #retrogaming #gaming

I got this little guy a month or two ago but after a few hours of play the screen would just go black after this after turning it on. Gonna try installing Onion OS on it #retrogaming

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: it's been a while, but I've been busy working on this, adding new locations and items. Recently added a castle with a library. You can browse books and read them, and some will have important info...

These are fantastic! I'm so keen on that Fortune & Glory one but the other two are so great too.
