I think you should keep the name “SNAC Dock Thing” when it’s released

Shame no Linux version, that I could see?

Just finished listening on route to first job today. Lots of pausing from me and joining in, as usual 🤣. Bit of a rubbish sad weekend, so thank you for taking my mind off that and giving me a laugh.

I think I know the AI generated YouTube channel (although I’m sure there’s lots). I used to watch it until the Zilog video, and then I just knew it was all AI, with the voice… calling the Z80, the Zay-eighty like it was a word. Nope, and unsubscribed.

Really looking forward to this project being released. Going to be the perfect all portable console system. Not interested in playing home consoles or arcade on it, for me it’ll be all the portable systems.

I’m sure I can remember this cover in the shops. Crash covers were always brilliant, huge nostalgia kick when I see this, maybe rose tinted glasses, but miss those days if only for a day visit.

I’d like to know why? What’s it being spent on? Roads…um? But past that, just the basic question why is the government borrowing so much, I thought the last government had pulled back on the borrowing and the country from a debt point of view was looking good?

It’s just the original don’t high five you when you complete a task of walking forward “oh well done, you’re brilliant”. You get the satisfaction of doing something, not the game constantly rewarding you.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I think someone has rebuilt one with modern tech, motor, battery etc. it’s not the same, but if you found one that was dead… which why would you go? Rebuilt original, or modern tech?

001

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

So, are you going to use this to get to work? Maybe not next week as the weather isn’t meant to be nice. Brave person taking that on the road, even with that top on!

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Read the other post before reading this, I’ll play alone and see how I get along too.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

I’ve never played a Pokémon game, maybe I’ll stay tuned and go with the same choice as you, and just try.

#analogue3D well that took less time than I thought…

As a tenuous link, the company I work for in Dundee, is based in the old Olivetti building. Is was very cutting edge in the ‘70.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Like a transit van, think we had them in every jamma cab we operated. Easy to fix for our in house monitor guy, don’t think there was ever one he couldn’t fix.

@retroblast.bsky.social just listening through the podcast, brilliant story, really enjoying it so far. Listen to the rest on the way home. With 61% battery left in this loan car, the story will make me drive equally slow on the way back 🤣

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

@multisystemfpga.bsky.social is there going to be a PlayStation version of the CTRLdock?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

These old houses weren’t meant to be insulated in this way. Experts would have known this, sounds like people that know nothing, not wanting to listening.

Whilst I agree lots of people with oversized vehicles for their needs, lots of people do have one vehicle that does multiple jobs, be that family or work.

@retrocollective.co.uk I’ve been trying to find the chap that does your vinyl prints on the arcade machines. He also does Mister multisystem2 3d prints. But I’ve forgotten his name and can’t remember his website?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Oh brilliant, time for me to order a psu and other bits and bobs 😊

So completed level 4, means they’re all built, but not ready to be posted?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

I think there are more bargains to be had now than a few years ago, the prices shot up for anything classed as retro gaming and computers etc. but I think prices have settled back down and definitely dropped.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

I don’t think Hell would be aesthetically pleasing, but I get your point 🤣

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

@retrogamecorps.com.web.brid.gy watched the Game Bub video, looks like an interesting project. I tried the Mario Kart GBA timing myself with a GBA with screen mod and a Trim UI Brick. I didn’t get the game timing issue, it ran the same. Input latency maybe… but the game ran the correct speed.

010

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

I might do that. Still got a way to go before getting to the 7-8k orders. Always nice to go to the Cave anyways.

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

Not heard of this before your video. Looks very interesting, need to keep an eye out for this one.

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

I’d happily just listen to you talking about what you’ve been doing, collecting, playing etc for the first part before the interview.

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Brilliant. Thank you for getting back to me. Looking forward to it.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

@bsky.app bloody awful that we have to verify our age. The UK government making it social media platforms and websites parent all of us, instead of parents knowing what their children are looking at 😕

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

@multisystemfpga.bsky.social no doubt a busy time for you all at the moment. Just a quick (hopefully) question. The number on my order, is that my number in the queue? So if it’s 7000 or 8000 that’s where I am?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

@theretrohour.com just listening to your latest podcast, always one I look forward to listening to. But you need to do more research, the Super Station is a Mister based project, so anything that plays on Mister and the limitations is the same, so no Dreamcast is playing on this.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Did they show the other consoles before release? I just thought, did they ever send them out to YouTubers? 🤔

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Listened today on my drive back from work. Really good interview, very interesting. Also interesting to hear about the benefits of TN panels.

010

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I think I’m done with new consoles and to that point new games. With all the old games and systems I’ve not played, I’m good with discovering and rediscovering them.

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Remember getting this Jamma board in a work, and testing (just looked like playing) before going out to site. Good game in co op.

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

It’s been an enjoyable listen. Sad to not be seeing on my list, but happy you’re doing what’s best for you 👏

000

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

I still must have a go at the Star Fox recomp.

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Was just my opinion that I preferred the cover used for the shop, least for the last two covers. Of course a subjective thing. And just wanted to know why you did two. Either way the content is the same, it’s a great mag and look forward to it each month.

020

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

My misses will even ask me “do you need this box, it’s a good one…” how my life has changed 🤣

040

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

@retrogamermag.bsky.social I started to subscribe from last months mag (Spectrum cover), and I have to admit that I prefer the cover that’s in the shops. Doom shop mag definitely has the better cover. Why the two covers?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Thank you for getting back to me. Not gone Mister till the Multisystem2, although have tried the original when at the Cave.

010

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

@richrap3d.bsky.social hi Richard hope you don’t mind me asking this question here. I’ve ordered the Multisystem2 digital 👏. Just thought, no Ethernet on it, will it take a usb-Ethernet adapter?

timsurman.bsky.social @timsurman.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Foresight would be such a useful superpower. But I used to trade in my old for the latest, what I should have been doing was buying everyone’s old when they traded for the latest.
