Tonight I'm going to test two Sony PVM monitors. One that I got back from a service, and a new one I have bought yesterday. Both have digital RGB as well, so I can run my #commodore #c128 #c128d on it. #retrocomputing

After looking for years, I finally got an NTSC/USA version of Dune II "The Building of a Dynasty". Westwood Studios was an American developer based in Las Vegas. In 1992 they got bought out by Virgin, then eventually merged with EA in Los Angeles.

Anyway, stoked to get this box w/ legit artwork and floppy disks with actual stickers instead of just blue disks with white paint.

A picture of me in 1992, looking bored, sitting in a cheap garden-chair behind my #Commodore #Amiga 2000.

On the wall: a map of our Amiga game Hoi, published in Amiga Action magazine.

On the fridge: a print of my game over picture for the Borobodur game, published by Thalamus, and peanut-butter jars as reference for a 'Calvé Peanut-butter Power Game' we were creating for a TV commercial.

On the fridge door: Psygnosis and Rainbow Arts stickers, souvenirs from our visits to them.

I have decided to do one final run of the original version of the WME64 wireless modem emulator for the Commodore 64, 128, and VIC-20. It will be a batch order with about a two week or so lead time because I need to order the parts, so if you are interested, here is a good place to let me know. Each one is $40USD plus whatever shipping costs to your address, comes in a 3D printed case with colour label, and is compatible with any program that can use a user port modem, at 300-9600 baud.

Getting your order in now will get you your modem first, before it goes up for sale on Tindie or anywhere else.

NOTE: This run is 50 units, 19 of which are currently spoken for.

On PETSCII
We've brought up a couple of examples of Commodore PET software lately, which as I keep saying, is interesting because the PET has no way of doing bitmapped graphics, sprites, or even definable characters. Its characters are locked in ROM and cannot be changed. So, it includes a set of multi-purpose characters that was used throughout

- Mega65
- WinXP + Zoom Floppy + 1581 shenanigans

Today a #BASIC #Breakout for the #Commodore #PET is on the tab: one N. S. Fuller published a Listing in the october 1979 issue of the magazine "Personal Computer World". The scan of the listing is very bad (I suspect that the original is a faksimile of a printout). But the code itself is VERY rich with hints for editing, programming knowledge (or the lack of it) and roots that lead back to #Woz' original version!

I have typed-in the hard-to-read listing and will debug it step-by-step ...

Today I'm going to refurbish the second of three #C64 that are still waiting for repair. When I got this one, it was quite dirty and with permanent marker text on the back. It was sold as defective because it showed no picture, which I could already fix by replacing the VIC. I also already cleaned the case, and fully disassembled and cleaned the keyboard. (Photo shows the "before" state, of course. 😉​ )

Next step: Recapping, and replacing the 7805 with a DC/DC converter.

In 1992 our Commodore Amiga platform game Hoi was released worldwide on two 3.5 inch diskettes, but as the US-based publisher didn't pay the royalties, we decided to release an AGA chipset remix for free in 1993.

Here's a full longplay video of the Hoi AGA Remix. We had lots of fun creating the game as three youngsters.

Just bought myself a new (to me) calculator. It came with a warranty certificate that expired 47 years ago. A CBM 796M.

I bought it because it was released the year I began to program. And 3 years before I continued to learn on its big brother (a Commodore PET).
