The point of #FujiNet is to add modern connectivity to #retrocomputing and #retrogaming; to bring people together.

We've accomplished the first part; people really aren't getting the last part, and it's frustrating.

I wish I could've of the few to work in an R&D group, writing qubits of quantum code. (I have.)

Wish I could have my laser focus AuDHD on something capitally-viable.

But I wasn't. So here I am, middle-aged, unbelievably depressed, and crippled by ADHD paralysis.

Turns out one of the horsemen of late stage capitalism is that bad movies are being walled off onto the streaming networks.

Is there _ANYONE_ who is using #arch and has installed ffmpeg-ndi in the last month? It will no longer build with current glslang, and it has blown a big hole in my entire OBS workflow, and the pkg maintainer couldn't be $()#@ bothered.

I tried a "Twinkie Wiener Sandwich"

Very odd, but, It actually works. Sweet and salty.

For #TRS80CoCo #FujiNet users running 1.5.1 Firmware

1. Edit EC.TNFS.IO into a host slot
2. mount /coco/lobby.dsk
3. RUNM"LOBBY"

The next firmware release will integrate it into CONFIG like all other platforms.

Enjoy!

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

#MSX and #HeathKit #H89 #FujiNet bring-up continues, on Discord

as we work out low level communication issues.

MSX will work over cartridge port.

H89 will be a Benton Harbor bus card.

Gives me hope. :)
