The AYANEO Pocket Micro (Classic), I've been talking about. Arrived this week, and I gotta admit... this is top-tier product design and build quality. Review on @overkillwtf soon!

By the way, I’ve fallen headfirst into the retro gaming rabbit hole thanks to the AYANEO Pocket Micro. Bought an Anbernic RG35XX H a day later and spent yesterday's whole evening with @retrogamecorps's shader guide. What have I done?

I'm trying to figure out the best DOS configuration for emulation and maybe real hardware, too. Right now, I am considering IBM DOS 5.02 upgraded to PC DOS 7 Rev. 1 (2000). You get an IBM branded DOS-Editor, but still all the nice tools from the future, like DELTREE.EXE, DEFRAG, PC DOS-Shell 7.0 or Windows Undelete. Seems to be the best overall DOS package...

Any other ideas / suggestions?

Fini Gensou Suikogaiden vol.2 (la fantraduction anglaise encore une fois).

Pour moi, c'est moins fandisc et c'est un peu plus intéressant que le précédent volume (cela dit, les fans auront leur dose de personnages de #Suikoden2).

Car on se concentre surtout sur la conclusion de l'histoire personnelle de Nash (ça se suit bien mais ce n'est pas follement original...à un point près). Ajoutons à cela une vague mais nécessaire introduction au "lore" de #Suikoden3 (Flame Champion, système de castes, luttes de pouvoir en Harmonia).

7,25/10

the "HD mode" in #lemuroid makes mobile suit #gundam seed battle assault for the #gba almost look like it's cell shaded. it was a bit offputting at first but it's kinda grown on me to the point that when I play the original, it seems kind of wrong. #retrogaming #android #handhelds #emulation

MartyPC's SN76489 emulation shaping up.

Nowhere near final, as I need to take some recordings off my Tandy 1000, tweak and adjust until it sounds identical, but it's always nice when your sound emulation stops screeching at you and starts to sound - well, like sound.

Anyone else suspect the noise channel is a bit too quiet?

Anyone using QEMU and know how to get it to trap the CMD key (on your keyboard)? It's annoying not be able able to use any CMD key combos as those seem to go to the real OSX system not the emulation in QEMU... #macintosh #emulation #marchintosh

Hatte gestern einen eigentlich ziemlich hässlichen 720K Diskettensatz in der Post. Den Dingern sah man ihre 35 Jahre doch schon ziemlich an, aber die Optik war in dem Fall nebensächlich, denn das Auslesen per KryoFlux war dann eine wirklich positive Überraschung. Alle Datenträger waren absolut perfekt lesbar!

Es handelt sich um die deutsche Vollversion von Microsoft Excel 2.1d. Diese Fassung von Excel wurde noch rein über MS-DOS installiert und lief auf Windows ab Version 2.x. Ziemlich historisch. Hier gibt es die kompletten Flux- und IMG-Images, sowie 300dpi Scans aller Disketten:

Viel Spaß!

Another thing I wanted to share out of the stuff on my Switch:

I've been using emulators since forever, but this is still, by far, the best emulation collection release I have ever seen. The whole interface is amazing. You're comfortably in your room as quiet ambient sounds come in from outside (in day you hear cars quietly passing by and birds) with game posters on the walls and such and a shelf full of Genesis/Megadrive games that it actually puts IN a console shown on screen, then it plays on a TV on screen. (It can be set to load games directly in fullscreen which I recommend, but it was neater to show it merely zooming in on the virtual TV for the clip.)

Wow! Windows 386 is so much more usable now in 1024x768 SVGA resolution with 256 colors. Yes, I finally found a working graphics driver! And also "yes", I have nothing better to do at 3am!

Here's an animation of how the original Prince of Persia for the IBM PC draws a level.

You can easily see how the tileset works.
