This year, the popular AmiKit celebrates its 20th birthday. The AmiKit Museum has now been set up as a thank you to AmiKit's loyal fans. All Windows installers for the Workbench distribution – from AmiKit 1 to 11 – can be downloaded and tested free of charge, all fully functional. It's an interesting resource for all computer archaeologists, enthusiasts and collectors.

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?

Натрапив на перекладений англійською японський рольовий бойовичок "Holy Umbrella: Dondera no Mubou!!", де головний герой це підліток, що знаходить парасольку, яка переносить його в інший світ, який тепер він має врятувати, бо інакше не зможе повернутись назад додому.

Як часто в іграх буває, абсолютно не напружений та жартівний сюжет зводиться до того, що ви у складі іноземного легіону рятуєте іншу країну від окупантів... Так, хоч головний герой один, але в процесі гри ви зможете вільно перемикатися на інших персонажів, де у кожного є свої хитрі здібності.

Гра однозначно варто того, щоб на деякий час втекти від реальності, але не забувайте донатити ЗСУ, бо лише завдяки їм у нас така можливість є.

Help! Im replacing my 13y/o tower /w a #miniPC (#AMD #Ryzen based) as my my main & want Linux powering it. Have exp /w #Unbuntu, #Mint, #Manjaro, #Q4 and Pi-OS, so I've got some knowledge. But, I'm not sure what distro may best meet my needs (smth /w gaming in mind?). #KDE is my pref DE, mostly daily browsing, but also gaming. Steam/GOG & #Emulation - prob not bleeding edge. Eyeing base #Debian & #Arch; are gaming focused distos useful? #Garuda decent? Thanks in advance for any comments!

P.S. kinda in love with how cute the #RaspberryPi project: the 𝐏𝐢 𝐓𝐢𝐧 is.

Either #3DPrinting the enclosure, or using an Altoids tin of all things. Another kinda adorable option for #HandheldGaming and #emulation

I am *really* impressed with how the artists tackled this situation. This is from Game and Watch Gallery 2 for GB and GBC. In GBC mode, it uses color to indicate how well done the food is, but in GB mode there's obviously not enough colors to do that, so instead they use shading: white means undercooked, black means overcooked, shaded means just right.

And then! They also drew a _background_ for this!

"Aren't you already using all four colors for the food?"

"It's fine, we'll just put a black outline around every foreground object, and then draw a background that doesn't use any black."

Genius.

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?

I was able to get an instance of System 7 running in Basilisk 2 on both my Macbook Air and Mac Mini to connect to each other using AppleTalk!

1) Basilisk 2 preferences must have udptunnel set to true
and udpport set to the same port on all Basilisk 2 instances.
2) The Control Panel Sharing Setup must have File Sharing configured and started.
3) Guest user should have Allow guests to connect checked.

Thanks @oevl, you inspired me with your post last night.

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! 😉
