  • Not entirely software, but the MiSTer FPGA project. Having accurate zero-lag hardware accurate versions of almost every console, many arcade games, PCs (Amiga, Commodore etc), and handheld up to and including the PlayStation in a box the size of a game boy is unreal.

    Majority of the project is open source, and has been used for ports to the analogue pocket handheld, which I also have and use often






  • Ha, well we had the same design in the UK as Japan. So did everywhere else, apart from the USA.

    A relative bought back a Japanese Super Famicom after being there for a bit along with a shedload of games. We had a UK power supply for it (worked with my UK mega drive AC adapter) and it worked with our UK 20" Sony CRT (pal, but supported NTSC). We used an RGB scart cable, so I was living the dream of full speed 60hz RGB in the UK back in the 90s. Dreamland





  • I live on the coast, my home being a five minute walk from the beach, and between two large towns. In between is countryside one side or quiet roads the other side. So wherever I go, I can take the residential routes (all suitable for pedestrians), walk along the coastline, or go around through the woods and parks.

    So on Monday I walked through a country park, around a large bay, through to town to buy some lunch. I then walked alongside the beach up to a forest path, then to the next town where I looked at a few shops and walked back a slightly different way!
