Asked ChatGPT to turn a screenshot with my pixel graphics for the 1992 Hoi Amiga game into a modern 3D game.

I like the result, although ChatGPT didn't get the gravity right on the bouncing spheres.

Get to know some of the "new" retro computers thank to this article: retrofun.pl/2024/04/08/n... #retrodev #retrocomputing

Not all 8-bit computers are ol...

First post, my retro project at the moment is an SFF Windows 98SE. Specs are as follows:

CPU: Pentium !!! 1ghz (Coppermine)
Memory: 128mb PC133 SDRAM
Motherboard: Biostar M6VBE (Via Apollo 133)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 8x (64mb, 64-bit)
Storage: 120gb Patriot Burst Elite SSD
Case: Kolink KLM-02

It's been an interesting experience and required quite a few sacrifices. No disk drive or floppy drive is possible in this case. Not found a sound blaster so confined to on board.

Il monitor Woz era lo strumento principale con cui si poteva programmare l'Apple 1, il precursore dell'Apple II. Grazie a questo editor, si potevano inserire i codici esadecimali del linguaggio macchina del processore 6502. Proviamo l'ebbrezza di quei primi programmatori di microcomputer. #apple #retrocomputing #retrocomputer #mos6510 #assembly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PofvTs136aw

Actualización: DOSBox AGA y RTG

DOSBox, el renombrado emulador de MS-DOS, se actualiza en su port para Amiga gracias al trabajo del desarrollador NovaCoder. Dos nuevas versiones, optimizadas para AGA y RTG, permiten a los usuarios disfrutar de la vasta librería de juegos y aplicaciones de PC directamente en sus sistemas.

La versión DOSBox AGA v0.74.013 está diseñada para Amigas equipadas con el chipset AGA y un procesador 68060 rápido. Requiere AHI (versión 4.18 recomendada) y ROMS 3.1. Ofrece un port SDL nativo para AGA, soporte MIDI y sonido AHI, así como modos de pantalla completa y ventana.

Por otro lado, DOSBox RTG v0.74.023 se dirige a Amigas con tarjetas gráficas RTG y un procesador 68040 (se recomienda un 68060). Al igual que la versión AGA, necesita AHI 4.18 y ROMS 3.1. Sus características incluyen un port SDL optimizado para RTG, soporte MIDI, sonido AHI y las opciones de visualización a pantalla completa o en ventana.

Are you into #RetroComputing and/or #RetroGaming? I mean REALLY into them .. no not that much .. that's it.

If so then why not #subscribe to the home of rare and obscure machines that only shows real hardware.

Who owns a #MEGA65? I'd love to watch these intros running on real hardware (well, actually on a big FPGA core).

Every once in a while, you run into a project that makes you scratch your head. MacLynx, an actively developed text-based browser for the classic Mac OS, is one of those.

Thinking about #Compression for #RetroComputing #PixelArt on monochrome (1bpp) images...

Obviously, Huffman does nothing. Obviously, RLE and LZ applied to bytes only catch repetitions if they're apart by a multiple of 8 pixels, i.e. rarely outside of large uniform areas.

But then, what works? Classic algorithms applied at the bit level? On pairs of bits?

This is my Motorola StarMax 3000 that I bought back in the 90’s. It’s one of the Mac clones from the short period where Apple had a clone program. It has the Apple designed Tanzania board that the 4400 also used. The 4400 is generally regarded as the least “Mac” Mac, so the StarMax is even less of a Mac I guess. It was my first “Mac”, and I got it pretty cheap when they were getting rid of the old stock.
The StarMax was universally criticized for its obscene noise level, and it is really is very loud, to the point of being unusable.
I’ve worked a little on mine recently.
It has two fans - a 92mm in the PSU and a 60mm in the front, which takes care of the CPU. Yes, really. 60mm.
I have replaced those with Noctuas.
Another noise source, which is perhaps even worse, is the obscenely loud OEM IBM hard drive. I have replaced it with a CF card in the back, also making getting files across easier.
The StarMax has also been fitted with a Sonnet CPU upgrade, which replaces the L2 DIMM and needs an extension to activate.
All in all, this is a delightfully quirky system.

In the early 1990s Texas Instruments PC Scheme for MS-DOS was my very first Lisp system. A few days ago I rediscovered and installed it on my Linux PC and you will believe what happened next.

Is the #retrocomputing fad starting to fade? Please god, let it be so! Let the shows get smaller again so the wannabes disappear and the real retro folks can have some fun again.

Bah. There's hardly any new #retrocomputing videos up on #youtube this week.

As a retro computing addict, I request, nay, demand more content!
