The #SegaMegaDrive/#SegaGenesis has seen several high quality releases during the past few years. How about the #SegaMastersystem? A quick search of itch.io and Kickstarter was rather disillusioning. Where does the scene hide?

Soldering as a meditative activity #c64 #SuperSnapshot

EEPROMs flashed, both cartridges (Versa64 cart, Super Snapshot v5 clone) work. 🥳 #c64

That was fun. I wonder if they will work. Will flash EPROMs tomorrow. I hope I will not fry my #C64. #retromontag

The PCBs have arrived! I hope I will find some time tonight to check if I have ordered all the right parts to populate them.

Current status: Waiting for PCBs

"A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it’s not that good"

I was thrilled when Google introduced Material Design, but things really went downhill during the past one or two years. Luckily I rarely use any of the Google apps.

Inspired by #Revision2021 I recovered the only code I wrote in the last century that has survived until today. It's nothing more but a bitmap and some text to speech (via SAM lib I ripped from "War Games"). Unfortunately some questionable humor forbids sharing the program. #c64

Even if you don't speak German you can at least take a look at the golden #c64 and the #Commodore museum in Brunswick/Germany: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/unserschatz/Unser-Schatz-Erinnern-Sie-sich-an-Ihren-ersten-Computer,unserschatz178.html

When did Android app development stop being fun?

Exercise 2: Fill an EEPROM with 8 Radar Rat Race ROM images and run it by putting it in the Super Snapshot V5. I hope the #c64 police won't come for me. I think I should get a more appropriate solution. 😂

The best thing about being an adult is getting what you wished for as a child. For me it was an EPROM programmer. So today I am having a little bit of fun. Exercise 1: Copying the EPROM of my Super Snapshot v5 to an EEPROM. #SSv5 #c64

Excuse me, Sir, is that anti-static packaging? #EEPROM
