Investigating a static related behavior with my weeCee (tiny 486/pentium like PC based on the Vortex86DX system-on-module, I hand soldered it myself back in June 2021 and it's usually rock solid mostly under MSDOS): sometimes, they'll get under a mode where no matter what, there's some heavy...

I know most people around here know and love Macintosh Garden, which has been around for as long as I've unearthed my Mac Plus back in 2003 and started collecting a few more machines after that. It's mind boggling how organized it is, how special it is and how many people have been helped by it...

The about screen in Megaroids is TANTALIZING: This is a great promise to see the source code of a fluid, action oriented game, this can serve as a beacon of inspiration and teaching for would-be programmers of the platform. This in fact, was crucial for the developpers of "Continuum", another...

The other day, I was browsing Mac Garden and stumbled, as one does, upon an interesting 30th Anniversary font https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-icon-font , which promised to help me do this infographic I was thinking about doing for years, but put it off because pixel art is tough to...

At the start of 2023, I thought I had: -3 shot very vintage breadboard C64s, possibly cooked to death last time I used them in 2016 -Stock power supply that I know MUST NOT BE USED, they send out way over 9V from the 9V rail and it WILL cook your chips. -one working 1541, one non-working...

Doing timing benchmarks on graphical operations (DrawPicture, CopyBits, MoveBlock, etc) is stumping me right now. I don't particularly like converting long values to Str255 and moving about the pen to DrawString all my result information across zillions of tiny Str255 fragments, alternating...

Perhaps I made a mistake by asking inside Discord, tagging @Kai Robinson and not through a more official channel. I wanted to share a list of threads that I thought should better be classified inside its own IBM PC "SOFTWARE" section. I totally understand (as I tried to expose on discord) that...

I just subscribed to a basic account for MidJourney and I'll share my results here. Let's start with: an exactly 512x342 resolution bitmap image with perfectly square pixels with only pure white or pure black as the only two possible colors showing the gameplay of a brand new platformer game...

Ryan from Everything is broken garage shared this useful tidbit of news for fans of retro PCs that need to install Windows 98. I know lots of people end up using the image from winworldpc, and that's fine if you want authenticity but I can't explain why or how but, that image has failed me on...
