Turns out the Aliexpress fake Gameboy Advance carts are indeed writable, so £3 dev carts #IndieDev #RetroDev

Locking in tonight's #ZXSpectrum stream! It is of course going to feature the Spectranet, will have a play with it, checkout some servers and get this version of the random game picker fully up and running! Once again starting at the earlier time of 8 o'clock BST over on twitch

Having heard the placeholder music in Jurl, i'm now wondering if I can commission someone to make a mod of Fur Elise in drum and bass

submitted 14 hours ago • 0 comments

Anyone know of / have any copyright / royalty free MODs to use as background music? Probably in the trance / Acid side of things

A reminder as it gets close to selling out that I'll be at www.retrofest.uk next weekend showing off SMS homebrew alongside my Big Red Arrow colleagues. Say hi and I'll force stickers into your hand and probably make you play Flight of Pigarus or @helpcomputer0.bsky.social 's Frontier Force!

Made a cart inlay for the gameboy boxes - it’s not great but it at least slows down the cartridge moving around

Went over the Speccy’s white text with a permanent paint pen, after which I can confidently say, probably don’t do it

New Speccy inlays arrived, much better - which means I can crack on and write a few more tapes #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroFest

I haven’t had time to properly look at the Fujitsu FM77 AV I got a few weeks back, but whilst in a call I just looked into the card bay to see some weird stuff, it seems there are two cards with wires that someone just decided to snip off. I’m guessing a recycling centre #RetroComputing

Does anyone know of a disassembly of either of the Lambda 8300 ROMs? It is sort of ZX81 compatible (also known as the BASIC 2000 and many other things). Post from 2019: blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2019/12/a-mi... @binarydinosaurs.co.uk @loudscotsbloke.bsky.social @sinclairresearch.bsky.social

Ordered some obviously fake GBA carts from Aliexpress in the hope that they, like the Gameboy Colour carts, are reflashable.

Made a procedural tiled path tool in Godot with some powerful features. This was made for Penguin Festival, but I'm sharing it for free here (meshes not included, bring your own) along with my other addons: github.com/CozyCubeGame... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Obviously, as a life-long McLaren fan I want both the boys on the podium - but I also kind of want Albon to be there too #F1

All packed up, unfortunately I don’t have enough PCBs to make more 2600 carts, nor a 2600 to test it on
