The ZuluIDE and PicoIDE optical drive emulators replace your old CD/DVD drive with a MicroSD card solution for loading ISOs, including support for Redbook CD digital audio! Among other features like virtual hard disks and more

The recompiled PC version of Duke Nukem Zero Hour got a mod that allows you to play it in first person with mouse + keyboard support, really awesome

1985 NEC Multisync - A Holy Grail Vintage PC Monitor!
YouTube video by LGR 1985 NEC Multisync - A Holy Grail Vintage PC Monitor!

Taking a look at the first Multisync monitor from 1985! Not only from NEC but the first one at retail in general, possibly

The JC-1401P3A displays all standard graphics modes for IBM PCs and many less standard ones, with horizontal sync rates of 15khz, 24khz, 31khz and beyond

The company logo on our vacation shuttle bus looked oddly familiar... @lgr-yt.bsky.social

Beautiful machine and I agree it'd be a risk to ship!

Could be worth taking to sell at one of the many Vintage Computer Festivals?

Correct!

I mean, not ALL the walls will be paneled. But some :)

Well now, we’ve got some cleaning to do and shelving to install. But this is an LGR space I can work with πŸ˜ƒ

Honestly thought this, haha

Like there’s so much slop uploaded daily now that this feels like a temporary bandaid

Yeah I’m getting more from smaller channels as well, that’s been nice!

Anyone else getting a lot of REALLY old videos recommended on YouTube lately? Like 10+ years old…

Also seeing notable spikes in activity on my own videos that are around that old, so I’m figuring others are getting this as well.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free.

...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut...

Nope, especially if it's untested. Those are notorious for needing repairs.

Tested working units sell for less than $500.

Heck yeah, this was one of those games I most wanted a 3dfx card for back in the day and ended up buying a 12MB Voodoo2 as my first ever graphics card!

I do plan to revisit it for an updated review at some point! Not sure when... I'm sorta still hoping for the southeastern states since those are the ones I'm most deeply familiar with

Sadly not, that batch file is the only remnant of the program as the Prodigy folder is long gone

Tuve la oportunidad de ayudar un poquito a Clint de @lgr-yt.bsky.social con su trabajo en una Chaplet LA-30A y tengo el honor de que me haya mencionado en su video. Un lindo gesto, la comunidad de retrocomputacion y videojuegos es hermosa. :)

THE HALIKAN LIVES

youtu.be/3_XdQwZSrag

The Chaplet Halikan LA-30 is an interesting 80s laptop on its own but this one busting into 1000 pieces & being restored by PolyMatt takes it to another level. Let's dive into using the PC itself, its odd quirks, and its small but fascinating spot in history!
