This is me talking this September at code.talks in Hamburg about console hacking over the last 35 years, it’s kind of my life story.

One of the oldest and stunning TVs i ever got my hands on is the JVC nivico from the early 70's - paired it up with a nice Pong console yesterday - and hooray, it still works! #retrogaming

thing is that half of the internet is doing that stuff. One would have to block every 2nd outlet, left or right. All I am after is a feed with as little non tech articles as possible. I don’t really care what the non IT content is about, and I suspect it’s gonna wear off in 3 days. If news sources continue to post non IT news, I ll review and kick. I hope you understand, don’t mean to be disrespectful.

As i said a few days ago, i agree this is not tech news, my hope is that spike will wear off in 3 days. If it will continue, i ll kick sites off the feeds.

My new retro gaming web (and soon iOS + Android App) retro.gold is taking shape. 120000 games, 7m price points, 75000 videos, 25000 manuals, 13 languages, etc. Still early, but could already be pretty useful for people that love to visually browse retro games, or want to track price development. More features coming soon! https://retro.gold feedback / boosts very welcome! #retrogaming

Ucon64 AmigaOS release seemingly was not tested for parallel port operations and doesn’t work here. So I am gonna try with this puppy next - more mess :-)

Battery arrived. The spacer works perfectly. After some minor leg repair, my Aibo is running like a champ on the new battery. Total success, easiest way to get battery replaced in your ERS-11X.

#aibo repair: As someone who grew up as a computer geek without any Internet whatsoever, nowadays it feels magical to fix things like my Aibo ERS-111 robot dog dead battery. Ah Yes, i could 3D print this part to make a Sony NP-F550 battery fit (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5435147) and, oh yes, i can get that battery delivered in < 20 hours from Amazon. Amazing! #retrocomputing
Watch this space for fixed dog. 🙂
