Is there any one at #39c3 willing to assist with the repair of a #Psion3a (Swap LCD display polarizers)?

Any tips on how to reinforce #psion3a hinges? Mine are intact but need to take the machine apart anyway to reseat the centre control panel's ribbon cable.

Fun to see both a poker game and Tetris clone on this post. Psion 3a was my first computer and I programmed my own versions of those two games, along with a racing game and an audio editor (to edit the sound effects!).

I still have most of the game code on one of those flash cards. Too bad I had some shared library code in a file that got lost because the batteries went dead, so none of the games launch anymore.

Cartridge Software for the Psion Series 3

Similar to less popular handheld of the era, the Gameboy, the Psion used a proprietary cartridge format for distributing commercial software. Psion sold blank cartridges, flashing hardware and duplicators to software houses, as well as releasing a number of titles under their own license. There’s a wide range of commercial...

I am through 4/10 catridges and am up to 28 screen grabs.

This might be a slightly long blog post.

Oh, the optimism of 1995.

I continued a bit in Emily Short's "Bronze". Progress is sluggish, as the Psion is slightly too slow for this game. I managed to find the way to the lower level of the map. A few more items were also found and finally we found HIM. I wonder who HE is... This sounds all a bit like The Beauty And The Beast.

We talk about the OPL language, build a D&D character generator and briefly compare the experience compared to modern application development.

Psion OPL - A built in development environment, when we owned our devices

Shortly after the write-up for the Psion Series 5, I picked up a Psion 3a from a fellow collector through a retro group. The plan was to do a write-up comparing the two platforms. Despite that you can see the DNA carry from the 3 to the 5, they’re distinct...
