Hey, I had that Vaio laptop back in the early 2000s. Ran linux like a champ! #Monsterdon #RetroGeek

Oh look ! My #achievmentunlocked so far today : #Potentiometer based controllers on #Amiga, like atari 8bits and c64 #paddles and 90s area PC flight simulator sticks, will be managed on the next version of #MameMinimix .I didnt even know it was possible on amiga. The code to do this is actually quite complex (watch github if interested) and needed a bit hack to work alongside the lowlevel Api. One other Milestone act is that... hey ! finnaly we can have driving game with actual analog wheel and brakes on Amiga !!! #retrogeek

Tomorrow and for 3 days, I will be at the "New Amiga Surgeres Show" (NASS) in Surgeres in France, near La Rochelle, with 2 #Amiga1200 , one #commodore64 , a Theremin and a TB303... and 70 other #RetroGeek I will demonstrate my MAME port for #Pistorm

Yes it is, the #neogeo #demo that reached 2nd place last week at #revision #demoscene party, will run on the next version of #MAMEMinimix on Amiga #pistorm It's called #Vaporous and is only the second demo ever made on the SNK console. #demoscene #retrogeek #wazaaaaaa

#SEGA did very few computers. The #SegaSC3000 was based on their first crappy console, but actually had one of the best #BASIC around. Then I realized the #SegaMarkIII , which has excellent graphics, could still be extended as a computer with the SK1100 extension and the only compatible version of the basic. I was able to create a 2 ways basic source to wave tape format converter, and find the trick to inject #z80 cross assembler binaries through basic. So, basically, i have a computer version of the #SegaSMS but with 60hz display. Also with #katakana keyboard and charset , for which i did a utf8 converter. #retrogeek #retrocomputing

... A thought about my previous #c64 #kerberos post: #midi is the only computer standard from the early 1980 I know that is still widely used. It actually fits what a 8bit computer can do and lots of midi music only takes a few kilobytes, so you may use a computer from 1980 in your studio. What other standard still stands ? ... Maybe GIF and AnimGif, very popular today, only format that allow to animate images in a lot of cases... But it's from 1989 and rather fits 16 bits area computer, with its 2^n CLUT colors. #retrogeek #Amiga #Atari
Do you know another 8/16 bit standard from the 1980's that is still used today ?

Subjectively Terrible LISP tutorial 1 - I had to smile when I saw a blog about #LISP. I haven't used LISP for over two decades. #retrogeek #AI https://zurl.co/PXNDt
