And today's Darwin award goes to the person who thought they didn't need an earth wire, and then promptly pinched the metal case down through the live 🙄 (and somehow got away with leaving like that until I found it)

Bit of a grubby picture, but it basically works. Shall we just say caps and be done with it?

I added extra parallax and squishy effects to the new Mega Multicolour Mode for the #C64Ultimate. This is to show there is ample time for lots of extra stuff with this screen mode.

This is a demo of a new Mega Multicolour Mode for the #C64Ultimate. This allows any multicolour pixels anywhere on the screen, no colour restrictions, with another screen (hires/multicolour/bitmap) in front, and with sprites active. I think this has not been seen before.

I fink that's the last breadboard add-on working before I mash it all together into a v2 PCB:
USB host so I can plug the mpk in for some cc controls and arpeggiating

Oh these look really cool. BBC BASIC at a quadzillion gigahertz* so you can make proper games without learning anything more than
10 PRINT "fuzz is cool"
20 GOTO 10

We agree, the Agon Console 8 is a fabulous machine to explore a world of powerful 8bit computing and make that game you always promised yourself.

That's another disadvantage of north facing solar panels. Not only do they not catch the sun, but they don't catch the sun.

The Ford Sierra was (jelly) mould breaking when that came out. No-one had seen a car quite like it.
Where's the radiator? People cried as it whistled past.
And a 4x4 version? Woo-weee. Until than we thought that was just for tractors and the occasion Audi.

Don't post much work pr0n, but I'm quite pleased with that.

Im calling this concealed success. Via a forest of latches and trancievers, I can finally store a number in an internal register, and read it back out, but I can't seem to work the same trick on the IO ports. As far as I can tell it should work the same way. I wonder if it's just a frazzled chip...
