Spotify lossless audio was announced in February 2021...

We are still in 2025 over 4 years later waiting for its release 🫠

It's 2025 and still the 37 year old SEGA Mega Drive console sees new amazing releases.

Earthion is a wonderful, jaw dropping, frantic & pleasing SHMUP that is accessible for newcomers to the genre and challenging for the experienced.

Bring on the cartridge!

Thanks Ajay!

Retro certainly isn't kind to the wallet 🫠

Whatever next 😁

I have a great number of CRT TVs for retro gaming, but the Mister FPGA using scanlines while triggering HDR to boost the brightness is pretty darn impressive!

CRT TVs have other benefits too, but this is effective on modern displays!

Next Peru!

Fun times testing out for a future Retro LAN. Went fairly smoothly, so looking forward to when a bunch of friends get together to relive some Windows XP memories...

Think Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament 99, Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake and more...

Can't wait!

Today is #StopKillingGames day! If you live in the UK or the EU you have a chance to potentially make a difference to the future of game preservation just by signing a petition. Information here: www.stopkillinggames.com

You know when you've watched too many modern gaming graphics analysis videos when you sit in your garden one sunny afternoon and think to yourself, "The shadow resolution isn't half bad".

If I was going to buy a brand, this is the one for me...

Not long ago, I was given 7 PCs that would have otherwise gone to landfill. I have built 3x PCs now from the parts (Win98, 2x WinXP) for retro gaming.

HP from 2009 here I'm going to upgrade to 16GB RAM and an intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 CPU so I can dabble building a retro gaming LAN server with Linux.

This is wonderful insanity...

When your ARM powered Acorn RISC PC can have a second 486 DX4 100MHz CPU and run Windows 95 in its own window.

Retro computing is so exciting dabbling with these things it truly is!

#PicoGUS is now an ODE! I've just released firmware v3.0.0, which adds Panasonic CD-ROM drive emulation. Put some ISOs or BIN/CUE files on a USB stick, plug it into your PicoGUS, and you've got a virtual CD-ROM drive that works in DOS and Windows 9x and supports CD audio. github.com/polpo/picogu...

In RISC OS 4.39, I really want my green Acorn logo back!

After using RISC OS 3.1 on my Acorn A3010 for so many years, using this newer version on the RISC PC 700 feels wrong without that lovely green iconic erm... Icon.

Quackshot

Looking after my latest Acorn acquisition...

The RISC PC 700 originally released in 1995, this one with plenty of installed extras for me to dabble with.

As always, like to give retro tech a good clean, especially keyboards! Much better now.

Fun times ahead! New to RISC PCs so tips welcome...

Now I want to escape! 🫠
