Curious because I ran into an issue using a Western Digital HD MFM controller, and it wasn't getting along the computer after I tried pulling the exact hard drive + parameters I was using from its list in BIOS. It would just hang on boot. So I just de-listed it from BIOS, and the hard drive controller already handles everything fine on its own. Can boot, install and run DOS from the hard drive, so what's the point of even trying to get BIOS to cooperate with it? I'm probably missing something here, but I don't get it. So many of these computers didn't have HD controllers onboard, or even allow things like specifying boot order etc. so what does adding these drives to BIOS even supposed to ac

The Spiritualized cores seem like the native "official" cores developed for the Analogue Pocket. But there hasn't been any updates on github since 2022. Hopefully cool to see: GB core updated with support for monochrome original display modes, NGP core, Lynx core, TG16/PCE core.

Hi,

On 6/14/24 I placed on order for a Magic Screen. The item status on their page was/is:

"Assembling in progress - Pre-order now to get it as soon as possible when the next batch is available ! (2024-06-22)"

This is still the current status, and my order is still listed as on backorder. I kind of forgot about it over the months, and I have tried sending a couple emails to their support email since then, with no response. I would still like one if they are still making them. I don't want to have to open a paypal dispute or whatever. Does anyone know how to reach them?

Thanks

I'm feeling like a complete idiot right now, but here goes.

First I have to admit I've been using VICE primarily for years now. But I have 3 C64s (2 beige and 1 C64C), I definitely remember one of them not working with a black screen of death. The other two I thought worked fine. Anyway of the crappy brick power supplies I have, the one I thought was good was the aftermarket Commodore brick one that has screws and not glue and epoxy. So I fired the first one up and black screen. I fired the second one up, and I got regular boot, then I turned it off and on again and I got black screen of death. Ugh that's not good. Let me try the C64C! Same, black screen of death on first boot. So it occur

So I'm in the process of converting some .nib files to .g64 so they work in VICE, but I noticed a lot of the ones I'm seeing are listed as both (USA, Europe). Maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't these games need to be coded twice for NTSC and PAL timings? Or were these original disks actually region free releases? Thanks
