Here's a slightly more complicated #blender scene with some random dithering. Hopefully it's obvious that the thing on the left is a #gameboy

Also the original scene rendered normally. The Game Boy is displaying a pre-rendered version of the scene

In the 1980s, if you wanted your IBM PC to be faster for spreadsheets or CAD, you could buy the Intel 8087 floating-point chip. Internally, the chip runs special code called microcode. We opened the chip, extracted the microcode, and are figuring out how it works. 1/n

If it's of interest to anyone, some of the SNES Wolf3D build toolchain for the ORCA/C compiler on the Apple IIgs washed up on discmaster, in a random collection of software on archive.org called "One Stop Chinese Manual":

Don't see any mention of it online. I just cross-posted it to the forum thread on romhacking.net for the wolf3d reconstruction project, which uses the WDC compiler.

This is Area 5150.

This is CGA. Yes, it does 16-color graphics on good ol' 4-color CGA. See if you can guess how this is done.

This effect breaks your emulator.

Unfortunately, this effect also breaks your Graphics Gremlin.

Well, I spent three years building an emulator that could run this effect, so I reckon if anyone's gonna make the Gremlin run Area 5150 all the way through it might as well be me.

Holy shit, i did it, lol. It looks terrible, but it works.

For people who haven't been keeping up with this project, I've been doing ceramics for a couple years now, and recently people kept tagging me in posts about a European feminist hacker collective that was making circuit boards out of court they dug out of the ground and fired in a campfire.

After having an epiphany about some experimental copper ceramics glazes i made last year, i thought i would see if i could solder to them, and i found that i could.

Sooo ... I made a stamp and stamped out some really basic boards for an astable multivibrator (two blinky lights) circuit. I filled the recessed traces with copper powder and had them fired in our pottery kiln.

Now i have ceramic circuit boards.

We successfully overclocked the 214MHz G3 upgrade to 264MHz, but I feel like it's being held back by the 30/33MHz bus of the Power Mac 6100. Let's see if we can get that a little higher (hopefully 40MHz) Saturday at noon EDT. #vintagemacintosh https://youtube.com/live/oceXtA9eSOo?feature=share

Making an attempt at creating a #blender compositing node graph to produce #gameboy style graphics.

It's just using thresholds for the colour conversion with no dithering

This is the Graphics Gremlin, an FPGA-powered retro video card by the talented @tubetime whom I must thank profusely for sending along.

I love all the little messages on the silkscreen.
