Greetings everybody! I just finished up making a new video in which I (with no real experience) go about starting the process of making a little hobby compiler for #6502 systems (think #x16, #cx16, #f256, #x65). It may not be the most earth shattering project, but I had fun working on it and hope that maybe you'll have fun watching it.
Feeling optimistic today.

The F256 Jr. "the 2nd" can be pre-purchased for an intro price of $175 USD in pico-ITX form factor - it is a 65816 based retro computer packed to the GILLS with features, competing in the same 8/16 bit space as the X-16 and others.
See video for an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXJ0muhPDMY

Greetings all! I just published a new video a couple of days ago talking about how I got into the whole #modernretro / #neoretro scene. I talk a bit about #godot and #tic80 and even show off some prototype games I made for both systems. For my next video, which I haven't started working on yet, I plan to focus on my current modern retro projects which I plan to get running on both the #x16 as well as the #f256 . Anyhow, hope you all enjoy it!

Here’s the first engineering prototype of Pilet 5! It’s coming together nicely, but I’m still testing and making some tweaks. Next up, I need to work on coding the controllers. #raspberrypi #cyberdeck #console #linux #portable #computer #kde
I might be strange, but I'm of the opinion that the world needs more modern #retrocomputing content on YT. With that in mind, I decided to create a new channel and be part of the solution.
I plan to talk mainly about video game and code development for modern retro systems like the Commander #x16 and the Foenix #f256 . Be forewarned, I'm completely new at making videos so please excuse my lack of skill and experience in this area. Anyhow, here's my channel intro:

I gave the latest updates for the FujiNet project as part of the FujiNet State of the Union 2024 talk at VCF SouthWest.
This is an update to the talks that I gave at VCF SoCal, and VCF East, and shows the insane development pace of the project.
Highlights include talking about the generic bus interface under development, fujinet-lib, and more.
Bring-ups mentioned, Apple2, Mac 68K, TRS-80 Color Computer, Atari 2600, and more!

Time for a new #retrocomputing #blog #post !
NOT ALL 8-BIT COMPUTERS ARE OLD
https://retrofun.pl/2024/04/08/not-all-8-bit-computers-are-old/
You definitely heard of remakes of C64 and the Spectrum Next, but have you heard of Zeal and <clickbait skills="low">the 8 others?</clickbait>
Enjoy!

The dozens of posts and private messages that have come in since I posted my video (https://youtu.be/6xbtmgalaEQ) about serial gifter
@gwssrox have been heartbreaking to hear. 🧵
(Please boost this thread to spread awareness?)

I'm proud to announce that a Wesnoth has turned 20 years old! Starting with version 0.1 tagged on June 18th 2003, Wesnoth has grown with the help of hundreds of volunteers continually improving all aspects of the game. And while admittedly Wesnoth is no longer at the peak of its popularity, there are still many developers, translators, add-on authors, moderators, and players helping to keep Wesnoth going strong. Thank you everyone for all your work, and here's to another 20 years of Wesnoth!

While I'm far more partial to the design of the #CommanderX16, I must admit that I am a bit excited by any sort new retro-computing, retro console device.
With that in mind, allow me to present to you, this video on the #Agon #Console8:
