#retrogaming and #vintagecomputing #archive #Myrient is shutting down due to rising costs in hosting and hardware. This is indeed a very sad development in the preservation of vintage software.

If you're into this sort of thing, hurry up and mirror the things you need before it shuts down on March 31 2026.

I'll be sure to grab anything related to the #Enterprise #microcomputer, as well as some old #NES stuff.

I built a pint-sized Macintosh

To kick off MARCHintosh, I built this tiny pint-sized Macintosh with a Raspberry Pi Pico: This is not my own doing—I just assembled the parts to run Matt Evans' Pico Micro Mac firmware on a Raspberry Pi Pico (with an RP2040). The version I built outputs to a 640x480 VGA display at 60 Hz, and allows you to plug in a USB keyboard and mouse. Since the original Pico's RAM is fairly constrained, you get a maximum of 208 KB of RAM with this setup—which is 63% more RAM than you got on the original '128K' Macintosh!

@theoasisbbs This might sound silly, but I'm really hopeful that #Commodore might eventually make a new #microcomputer platform focusing on being intentionally simple. Perhaps a novel 16-bit architecture implemented in FPGA (or maybe something "truer" like ASIC!), designed to be relatively simple to program in a #lowlevel language. Sounds like a dream to me.

Oh wow, a kit for a #microcomputer from the *1980s* 🚀—because nothing screams cutting-edge #tech like reviving ancient #relics while pretending to be pioneers of the #digital stone-age. 🔧🌪️ Truly revolutionary stuff, folks; next, they’ll tell us how the wheel was a #retro hipster invention too. 🛞💾

In a few months we can celebrate the 50th #Anniversary of this outstanding #homecomputer. The #Apple1 wasn't as powerful as #DEC or #IBM #minicomputers, but much more affordable. As brainchild of Steve #Woz Wozniak this #8bit #microcomputer became the legal and very profitable foundation of #AppleComputers. It was the good old time, long before #Apple dropped #computers out of their name.

Mein Raspberry 5 ist nach dem Betriebssystemupdate (#dietpi) und abschliessendem Reboot nicht wieder hochgefahren!
habe dann in der config den HDMI output aktiviert (normalerweise läuft er headless)
Danach bootet er wieder!?!??
Die Erleichterung war groß - aber das kann doch nicht die Ursache sein...

@r @fluffykittycat @flower the only reason noone takes an #RP2040 and tries to build a new #Retro-Style #Microcomputer with it is because it's way more effort and hassle than the $5 (/ $1 / $10) discount compared to a #Pi0W (/ #Pi0 / #Pi0W2) - which already come with USB, HDMI & microSD - is worth it.

Uploaded a two-player Pong clone in a TRS-80 emulator. Plays with the A,Z and O,L keys... not very well, but it's a 50 line BASIC program so you get what you get.
