YouTube video by BW's Technoshed Cyberlegends 2025: highlights from the Exxos Forum meet up

Cyberlegends 2025, the Exxos Forum meetup held in Toddington a couple of weeks ago, was great fun. Here's some of what I saw.

Featuring, among others, @srusher.bsky.social. And I think @a1exh.bsky.social sneaks into the background once or twice...

Soon, Acorn A5000 Issue 1 PAL IOEB version, later the IOEB ASIC version.

Some tidy up of silks, electrically all connected. @peepouk.bsky.social has done a fantastic job once again.

I did the schematics, also needs a little tidy up 😄

There was some differences in the available schematics to iss.1

Nice. My A5000 Alpha is in limbo due to battery rot. I think it might be fixable but still nice to see these being produced.

Perhaps you need a mini coding challenge? What type do you like? Limited resource challenge? Elegant syntax challenge?2025 did mark the 40th Anniversary of the ARM architecture. I bet it has been a while since you did some ARM assembler? I'm sure we could come up with something for you? :-P

The latest release of AmigaOS (3.2.3) for classic Amiga is available from today.

So sad to loose VGM composer Stéphane Picq most famous for the soundtrack to the 1992 video game of Dune. I spend countless hours playing that game in my youth listening to his soundtrack. He remastered it fairly recently and it is definitely worth listening to.

Supply and demand. So many are dead due to battery leaks. If you're prepared to get your hands dirty by repairing the leak damage they can be had very cheap.

It is such as shame that so many Archimedes are self destructing. A30x0, A5000, A7000, RISCPC all have batteries that leak.

The reissued C64 cartridge version of Hunter’s Moon Remastered is available for pre-order until February 14th - once it's gone, it's gone!

What goes around comes around? OpenAI used everyone's work without permission to train their model in the first place!

Considerably more stable that PiSTorm?

A PCI card or a Set 2.1 prototype development kit.

The other side of a PCI board for a Dreamcast prototype board. A sticker reads "Property of Sega 00348". I hope they don't want it back....

A GD-ROM of Red Dog from Xmas 1999. Burned by "M Godbolt" apparently

Also from last night's haul. Some Dreamcast memorabilia that will hopefully find its way to @bloopmuseum.bsky.social

New Jaguar EV spotted on UK roads Jaguar's first all-new electric model has started testing on public roads ahead of its launch in 2026.

Lots of news about the new "Draguar" car, here is the real thing out in the wild. www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/new-jag...

You spelled ArmaLite Corporation wrong?

Did Elon Musk license the Cybertruck design from Atari?

With LIONHEART, you're holding in your hands the results of 16 months of struggle, enthusiasm and hard work. Four young and idealistic, but nevertheless PAID people, put a lot of effort into it. Many colleagues called us crazy to make such a huge and expensive project on a pirate-tormented machine as the Amiga. Instead of stopping to support the Amiga, we'll let the users decide whether it's still possible to afford developing high quality software on this machine or not. If we shouldn't be able to cover at least our development costs by the sales, LIONHEART will be the last action game by Thalion.

I always think of this message here from Thalion, a tiny studio born of the demoscene and then developed a handful of beautiful and well-loved games such as Lionheart from which this plea comes from. This wasn't some huge corpo publisher but a passionate team, so I do feel for them.

Lionheart CD32 version? Heheh nope.

Is that true? It was my belief that Nintendo required all publishers to pay a license fee before they could publish games on their platforms. The license fee included the use the Nintendo name and logo in your product, ability to purchase Nintendo branded cartridges and importantly Certification.

Presumably the unauthorized is in reference to not paying Nintendo a licence fee to produce Gameboy compatible game cartridges?
