Last year, a few of us documented and reconstructed The Frob, an #Atari2600 #gamedev system for the #Apple2. It has some very hard to get parts. So I've re-done it as an RP2354 based card, with firmware. GH: github.com/tschak909/fr... #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Despite the romantic aspirations, every single one of these dystopian sci-fi shows makes me more convinced that the reason they get green-lit at the very top is because it conditions people to live in far worse material conditions; long before they ever occur.

The #FujiNet Wi-Fi adapter brings cross-platform gaming to #retrogaming and #retrocomputing systems. Shown: a multi-player, cross platform, netwoked economic strategy game based on MULE. Played between an #intellivision and an #apple2 over the Internet.

Apple has made it as difficult as humanly possible to make native applications that also target MacOS, and those screws just keep tightening. Their effective banning of GPL applications from the App store adds insult to injury.

The whole point with #Fujinet posts is to show everyone what is possible with a #retrocomputing and #retrogaming network adapter; to try and get people excited to want to help.

Hello all. Thom from FujiNet here. While at VCF Midwest, I successfully did the first pass of the Atari 2600 (VCS) FujiNet bring-up in emulation. I will do the initial testing on the existing Atari 26...

The sociopaths of the world do what they do, because they feel it is their imperative to tick all the boxes to survive and thrive. They are maximizing their output in a world that incentivizes this behavior. Therefore, working towards a world that makes this unnecessary is a win for all of us.

For people running TNFS servers for #FujiNet and others: TNFSD 26.0915.1 released. This version fixes a fd leak that wedged the server after ~a day of uptime. Tnfsd stopped answering both TCP and UDP clients after roughly 24 hours. You can get the release on GitHub: github.com/FujiNetWIFI/...

One of the big heartbreaks of my life is that I have met so many amazing; talented people who despite all their efforts have never gotten their big break in life. Unfortunately, this is by design, and knowing this makes it hurt that much worse.

Q: Is #Intellivision #FujiNet ECS compatible? A: Yes! Here is netcat patched to use ECS keyboard, and I added ANSI color support and a virtual 80x25 text display. It is #SSH'd into my #linux box. :) (try THAT on any other #retrocomputing or #retrogaming #wifi adapter!)

#FujiNet bring-up for #ColecoVision has started. It uses the cartridge port, and uses a memory mapped interface to the ESP32S3 via the RP2040, making it very fast. All of the existing FujiNet games are being ported.
