Hi!

You might know (of) me from such excellent websites as demozoo.org or pouet.net. That means you're also pretty awesome since you're involved with the demoscene.

I collect retro computers / consoles, try to make them do what I want them to, and even capture some demos and productions for fun.

I toot in both Norwegian and English.

Amiga was the better one. Deal with it.

Every now and then, I record podcasts with radcrew.net. Norwegian only gaming-podcast, but I try to educate them ;)

PronounsHe/Him

yooooo ... little update here :D

Closing in on the release.. red rooms are "uh, that's not correct", but "other people" are quickly fixing and testing more.

The Atari 2600+ and 7800+ has a flashcart!

Very reasonably priced, they even have one in yellow if you are so inclined!

Thanks to @ctrlaltrees for mentioning this on his excellent podcast.

Ah, and the death-screen. Ofcourse :)

"why do you spend so much time with preservation and "copy games"-things ? it's just a waste! people have done it before you!

well.. every now and then, you come across things like this

(in short, a single known copy of this game was known to exist.)

The owner (very graciously) sent me the game.

The floppy was barely readable, with LOADS of read-errors

Using an IEEE488 cart on an ultimate64 elite II, I managed to get something out... a dirlisting.
And lots and lots of read-errors

So, zoomfloppy... Same story, loads and loads of errors

(when booting the disk on a real PET with an 8050, the computer crashed after showing the logo-screen)

... However.. After countless hours, probably 500ml of isopropanol and various other liquids...

Vice, xpet now boots the game

I suck at the game, so I die almost immediately.. but I'll do some more testing before releasing it to the world.

Hey Microsoft

Fuck off

Thankyou

not even the big-box will copy themselves...

They won't copy themselves...

(I tried leaving them alone for a year, and... nope)

I've been dreading this...

Book-scanning. On a flatbed scanner.

Yes, I have several CZUR-scanners. They suck.

So... page by page.. Of old stuff

you know what?

I bought the ram in the first image about two and a half years ago. May 2023

Price is in Norwegian Krone, so use your favorite way of finding the exchange rate.

Second image is the EXACT same memory.. with todays price.

Can I get a "fuck AI"? .. Even if you use it?

Let's call it ... "artistic freedom"

Those who know, know.
