Not sure which diode you meant so I started testing them all. I a fit of inattention I left the power plugged in and shorted something that made a mighty spark and smoked a DF something that'll definitely need a replacement. Any idea what it was?

Added a few new fonts to my font engine today. Shmups fans take note. =D

Interesting that the Batrider and Garegga fonts are identical in shape but use a different gradient.

The Australian social media ban, which started off stupid and got dumber, is even more absurd than I realized.
Facebook and Instagram are banned, but Whatsapp is not. Twitch is banned, but Discord is not. Reddit is banned, Snapchat is banned, but LINE and Facebook Messenger are not.

You can absolutely get fucked.
Discord tried this a few weeks back, and I said "no, you'll accidentally keep my data and then get hacked" and days later that's what happened.

Organizing my connectors bin. Arcade hardware is so much easier to work with if you have the right parts and some good tools.
In this image, parts for Namco, Capcom, Sega and SNK machines and games. And more!

While fiddling with the Aleck64 I finally ordered the parts to hook up the P2 buttons. 25 years ago I bought the panel with half the wires missing.
Now I can put it back in storage knowing it will work should I suffer a head injury and want to play it again.

A couple of decades ago I created a 'font engine' that allows anyone to create text images using 179 (and counting) fonts from arcade (and etc) games.

We live in an age where it takes less time to design and print some parts than it does to order one for overnight delivery.
This one allows a Seimitsu P=50 stick (LS-32, Nobi, etc) to fit a 4-post panel, with room for an internal dust washer.

Solving every problem with a 3D print.
Total time to design: 5 mins. Print time: 20 mins (super fine detail for legibility).
Should help with the harness jungle in the arcade cabs. 😊

Auspost: what are you shipping?
me: Video game
Auspost: A Dreamcast game?
me: Sure
Auspost: A permit is required for dangerous goods.
Auspost suggests 'Dreamcast game' and then gives me the appropriate warning. Like sure, the Dreamcast wasn't a smash success, but come on.

Building off Alamone's work a few years ago, I built a version of Seibu Kaihatsu's Viper: Phase 1 with both original and New Version games in one cartridge.
It's not a particularly difficult mod, only six chips, a few wires, and no changes to the original PCB.

Bitmoji has gotten rid of the charming avatar style in favour of the soulless metaverse style of bland faces, and I fucking hate it. Why must every change be worse?

Printing up a customer order of Seibu Kaihatsu cartridge shells. I made a design that protects the board from accidental touches and prevents board flex which pops solder joints too easily.
And they look good too! IMHO. 😊

The prints on my Bambu A1 started going wrong. At first, missing lines on external walls. Then gaps in surfaces. Finally, it just stopped printing entirely. Prints would crack apart rather than come off the plate.
Turns out the extruder gear had worn out. Replacing it solved the problem.
