Oh no you too? I ordered that drive but Amazon threw it on my porch and it was DOA. Had to run down to micro center. Raid 5 was a drive down.

Somebody thinks they’re playing 4D chess, but they’re just playing bingo, because of the big markers that they like to sniff.

E.T. could have been a different movie if they kept Dennis Muren in this shot.

I'm trying to figure out how to get as close to that as possible! In a stable way.

A game I made with my brother when we were kids- an Odie looking dog forced-runner like Canabalt. It has locations based on the BBSs we’d call. I need to hook up a proper stream so I can play without holding my phone. :)

My cycle counting isn’t great but 64mhz background change every few pixels stabilized but not uniform. Scanline interrupt starts bd I change the background color in an almost uniform way.

In 64mhz mode on the C64U basic is fast enough to change the background color on specific lines in a loop.

I’d love to see those! They’re probably way cooler than you remember.

It’s fun going back to files that I made when I was a kid. I gave up on this interrupt routine, but I was able to clean it all up now. I was also finally able to restore the bitmap with some clever hex editing. not my music. Forensic reconstruction w/C64U.

It's too early for an internet victory of this magnitude.

Learning that strobing the horizontal scroll registers causes weird glitches. But overall, the heat distortion effect works once again!

Over the years I’ve dabbled with it but Digital Eclipse finally made a version in Atari 50 with Neo Breakout.
