Welcome to Mastodon to @stevanikof !

He's an Ireland-based #retrocomputer and #retroconsole repair and upgrade genius.

He's done quality work for me, installing an INCOGNITO board in my original #Atari800, and bringing an #AtariSTfm back to life.

Stevanikof planted the seed that I, too, could learn and get hands-on with vintage electronics.

#mastodaione

it feels good that i got 3 PRs approved and merged into the #atari800 emulator project just recently. two were fixes for ctrl-[letter] key handling and CAPS key handling in SDL2. the other PR allowed using -run <file> at the same time as -netsio, which enables access to #fujinetpc

On episode 127 of "ANTIC, The Atari 8-bit Podcast: Brad's 76K Brain", Brad Arnold mentions the game "Omnitrend's Universe", which is new to me.

Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats.

1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999"
2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1
3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I
4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7
5 IF Q=10 THEN PRINT STR$(P+1);LEFT$(Z$,M);: P=0: M=0: GOTO 7
6 PRINT STR$(P);LEFT$(T$,M);: P=Q: M=0
7 NEXT J:PRINT STR$(P)
