I assume this is a highly efficient design? What's the point of having resources if they just go to waste... Might as well use them!

IYKYK... this was harder than it looks to fix. This part is actually broken in all current emulators across the board.

I like these mini old PCs, I have the A500 mini, C64 mini, and this here is the x68000z mini. It's kind of strange compared to the others. You need 2 SD cards to simulate each of the 5.5" floppies, and the loading speed is also simulated. Horizontal scrolling is messed up I think

Added some mods for my T2 pinball and repaired the VUK and other things. The laser cannon, T800, T1000, active shooting lane and light wire I bought from Judge Dredd's Pinball (www.ebay.com/str/judgedre...) in case you are interested.

I knew there would be a time when I needed to use this!

100% legit MiSTer I found while cleaning. Don't know where the memory card for it went though. Will be doing some work on it as the members of the #CoinOpCollection club voted for in Q1. Will see what happens. Was a close vote between this and TUnit.

After 2 round trips to Switzerland and a couple months, finally arrived safely here! Thanks Fullest and Sascha for the support! Looking forward to playing it.

If you haven't yet opened the analogue pocket, it is a pretty amazing experience. I like how the plastic pieces slide in instead of being clipped and everything inside the way it's put together is purposeful and minimalistic. I bought this kit from Sakura Retro Modding (Etsy) for my retail unit.

I've been unpacking and cleaning for days... Yes I have yet to unpack things from my move last year, lol. I found this gem that brought back great memories. Who remembers the whole drama and controversy of this?? Any old timers besides me here? lol.

May 1992. What a wonderful time to be alive!

I have officially joined the resistance against Skynet. JB's Gun4IR works very well on the Analogue Pocket thanks to his and Atrac's efforts on getting this going. It's extremely smooth and the gun itself is no toy compared to the Sinden on the Arcade1Up. It's gonna be a happy Christmas indeed!

Another project I've been working on is manual/schematic scanning of the midway games. They are available online, but very low quality and signals cannot be read clearly. I've also finished documenting notes for Raizing, Technos and Midway. All will be part of a new docs repo from #CoinOpCollection.

I'm just one step away from being able to replace the guts of this. It's as bad as I remember - screen tearing, audio problems, laggy gun, bad visuals, etc. The Midway core beats this by a mile. It's been a goal of mine to replace this with a core setup.

Who remembers the 1993 Toys R Us catalogue? Did you get MK for SNES like I did? I loved it personally, was a good port save for the real blood...

After messing with things for a few hours I was able to get Jose's NVRAM save to work for NARC. It apparently only works with BRAM, which I have so little left, but I managed to spare 8k to save the most critical 2 banks of CMOS. All is looking well for a weekend release. atrac will test again.

Fixed the ordinals issue. It was an issue with the rotate and divide instructions. Interestingly enough, my high scores match the original board, however, in MAME and FBA, I see something different. My guess is the RL and div instructions are broken in some way on those emulators.
