A coworker was giving these away, so I had to grab ‘em. I’ve always wanted to play with this computer - even knowing about its keyboard :D
Have a power supply and coax adapter on the way. Here’s hoping it boots!
Question: anyone know what the difference between the two RAM modules is (if any)? The one with the blue connector says Made in UK and the one with the black connector says Made in Portugal.

I'm not terribly consistent at posting on Mastodon, but I've written a lot on my site recently.
I just set up @emulationonline.com so that anyone who wants to follow my site via mastodon can do so.
Of course there's still rss on my site.
New post going live tomorrow wrto some chip reverse engineering I've been working on.
Just found @emulation_online by going through some WebRing stuff, and ... Oh my gosh it feels so cute to just browse websites like that.
Your content is cool too, BTW, emulation_online!
Stuff like making custom chips and hardware and learning about them is awesome <3
Just uploaded another Chip-8 emulation article. This time we'll see what it takes to decode an instruction, extracting the information that tells us what the program is trying to do.
After this article we'll know enough to implement roughly a third of all Chip-8 instructions!

New article in the "Build a Chip-8 Emulator" series is up! This time we'll see how an emulator runs programs, and build the basic "main loop" of our emulator.

I've just started a series on building a Chip-8 emulator. This simple virtual system is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning about emulation.
In the first article we cover how computers run programs, and look at what Chip-8 can do.
I've just added early support for the 65816 CPU to my ChipLab. The same CPU that powered systems like the SNES. Now you can program one through the browser.

I've been working on setting up a 6502 in my chiplab, so anyone can upload programs to run against a real 6502 and observe its behavior cycle-by-cycle.
It is finally in a good state, so I've decided to share it. You can upload either binary programs, or use the built in assembler to create your programs.
