Reposted by VelociraptorThis Week in Retro @thisweekinretro.bsky.social · 25/06/2026A look at the planned C64 Ultimate Game Engine (a dev system for the enhanced FPGA model of the Commodore 64) prompts the questions: will users accept C64 Ultimate-only titles? And how's that been going for the Spectrum Next (assuming that yours has shipped, that is)? All this and more Saturday! 1218 21

Velociraptor @davevelociraptor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026You don't need their licensing, go to a1200.net and Cloanto directly, you can do a Heber Amiga Multisystem. 021 2
Velociraptor @davevelociraptor.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Richard just speak to Mike at Cloanto, and a1200.net for the keyboard and shell and Rob for the disk drive. Then spin a new mms2 PCB to be port compatible with a1200s shell and you've got an a1200. Ship it with a flash floppy drive but end users can swap that out for a real floppy. No need for C= 460 6

Velociraptor @davevelociraptor.bsky.social · 02/03/2026It really is a great video - Dudley gives me far, far too much credit though. I just pointed him in a suggested direction 010 1
Velociraptor @davevelociraptor.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I really hate that manfacturers are almost punished for making cables that meet the spec because they're competing with other companies that don't hit the spec and rely on people either not checking or not using for something at spec 020 2
Velociraptor @davevelociraptor.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I really enjoyed the episode but deserve very little credit. It's almost all done by Dudley himself 010 1
