I've finished building BOM for #X65
It turns out that the whole machine is $77.55 in current parts.
Way below budgeted $99.99.
We are on a good track. π
Hereβs the first engineering prototype of Pilet 5! Itβs coming together nicely, but Iβm 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:
Full schematic and BOM for #X65 development board done.
Here's a peek of the unrouted board with a quick'n'dirty parts placement.
The F256K2 is coming!
It will be showcased at VCF Mid West this coming September 7-8 at the Schaumburg Convention Center

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. π§΅
(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:
Hey all!
We have new stuff to show: The levels in our game Roguecraft get darker and more evil the deeper you go!
