会場用のミニ色紙には、開発当時、ドット絵を描いたベアナックル２、アクトレイザー２、ガイア幻想紀、ストーリーオブトアのキャラ達を描きました。描いてると当時のことを思い出すのですが、30年以上前のことなのにまるでつい最近のような気すらします。

It's Control Panel Sunday because I forgot yesterday; here’s a fantastic undated Fred Gambino artwork.

An astronaut in a purple and yellow suit is seen from behind, in the cockpit of their spaceship, surrounded on three sides by control panels. In the computer screen and also through the giant bay window, an asteroid floats in front of the ship.

So the Super Famicom I picked up the other day had a cracked shell and most of the screw posts were broken off. I decided to re-shell it with a clear one. I think it turned out pretty awesome!

This was gifted to me from a good friend who is currently down-sizing. I had to temporarily put in storage so I can make a spot for it in my home. Can't wait to fire up some retro gaming goodness on it! Flatbed for scale & ignore my legs in the reflection - lol!

Maintaining my perfect record of needing a bugfix release immediately after a big feature release, PicoGUS firmware v3.0.1 fixes MPU-401 output in SB and USB modes. github.com/polpo/picogu...

Release v3.0.1 · polpo/picogus

Fixes SB and USB modes Fixes MPU-401 output in SB and USB modes. It was broken by the introduction of CD-ROM emulation in SB mode and it never actually worked in USB mode!

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin dressed as a noir detective, saying "Yeah. That's me, Tracer Bullet. I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon. The drink packs a wallop, and I pack a revolver. I'm a private eye."

Latest editions to the video game collection have been acquired. I have decided that for this system, I will only buy games that have the full game on the cartridge. If I'm buying a game, I want to own the "full game" physically. No game key cards or download codes for me.

A Nintendo Switch 2, a Switch 2 Pro Controller, and 5 Switch 2 games.

I keep seeing articles about silly wearable #AI medallions and wonder why none of the companies making these things aren't just duplicating Dr. Theopolis. Twiki was rocking wearable AI in the 70's.

#PicoGUS can now emulate both a CDROM drive and Sound Blaster in parallel, smoothly playing both CD audio and SB sound effects simultaneously. Still a lot of polish to do before a new firmware release but I'm excited!! This is MechWarrior 2 with bin/cue stored on a USB stick plugged into the PicoGUS

One of my favourite tech avenues of late 80s and early 90s Japanese PCs is stuff that had a PC Engine built into it. The PC-KD863G is a fine example of the PC Engine-in-things: a standalone 15" monitor with a PCE built in that could be used as is for a super-sharp RGB image or with a Japanese PC.

A magazine/brochure ad for the boxy CRT monitor, proudly beige, and displaying its sharp RGB colourful image. A hu-card slot is built into the monitor, as is a joypad slot. Boxy clip-on speakers can be seen too.

My latest project is now complete. I needed to recap the 32x and repair the power port on the Sega CD. All I need now is a copy of Sonic & Knuckles and I'll officially have a "Tower of Power"!

Genesis Model 2, Sega CD Model 2, & a 32x connected to a CRT playing Lunar the Silver Star. Copies of OutRun & Doom are nearby with boxes for all 3 Sega items hanging out in the back. Ignore the background clutter - lol
