Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64#C64#ForbiddenForest , it's a shoot 'em up with a bow and arrow, but you have to load your bow before you fire so it takes a little bit of skill. Great fun and a real test of skill (as you can tell I have none!) #nostalgia
Made some good progress on the #SixtyClone today.
It's actually starting to look like a #C64 mainboard.🙂
Still missing the electrolytes, but I have to wait for the low profile zifs to arrive. #RetroComputing#retrogaming
The absolute tomfuckery to get this to work in PAL & NTSC. #c64 full screen, full colour. copy scroller.
( this is NTSC to show "spare" time )
shout out to @martin_piper for giving me the idea indirectly ( I did a little sneaky disassembling :P )
Post von @heiseonline. Nein, leider heute nicht mehr. Habe via eBay 7 Ausgaben der INPUT 64 ersteigern können, noch eingeschweißt. Die INPUT 64 wurde damals schon von Heise herausgegeben. Heise ist also genauso alt wie wir alle... 🤣
Ho un nuovo passatempo in pausa caffè: scorrere a caso il romset #c64 della gamebase64 sullo steam deck, scegliere un titolo che suona essere tipo in italiano e provarlo. A questo giro "pallida luna" della emelsoft. #retrogaming
Like you I’m also keenly interested in #retrocomputing and computing history in general. I grew up during the #C64’s heyday less than five miles from #Commodore headquarters. I’d love to see more artwork featuring their products.
@gruber Windows 11 on Parallels on Apple Silicon isn’t just good, I find it much snappier, smoother, power-efficient, and generally robust than Parallels on Intel Silicon Macs ever was. Even when running ancient x86 software, like an old version of QuickBooks I’m embarrassed to say I still use. Intellectually, I understand the appeal of removing virtualization from the picture, but getting quick access to Windows apps while I’m still in MacOS is so nice I’m already very happy.
Going further back, it’s also what killed the #Commodore 128.
Touted compatibility with the market leader without articulating well why your platform is uniquely better means that third parties won’t write software for you.
