Here it is

I can't get over the quality of the case and that keyboard. I knew I was right to get blue switches. Unfortunately i can't turn it on yet as the cables haven't arrived from Amazon. I need a DVI to HDMI converter and a kettle plug lead which I don't appear to have any spare.

Still, 68040 inside 🙂

Good to know.  Thanks

Has anyone had theirs ship yet?

I got a "prepared for shipping" email on the 17th of October but haven't had anything since then.

It has been delayed. No new release date as yet.

Will do. As far as I understand at the moment, there isn't a lot of software yet so the hope is that people will port and create it.  It wouldn't be a machine where you would buy it at this stage and have access to lots of things.

For that, I would go for a Next or a Mega65

This is more of a hobbyist machine

Yep. I was going to get them, then looked at the shipping price and thought fuck that.

Also then remembered that I can run Roms on the cores so why would I need the adapters.

Brilliant

Another cracker from George.

I also watched the latest video from Ms Mad Lemon too. Cracking video and it makes me sad that she has gone through some of this shit in the past.

It made me think about the prominent UK Youtubers who could be in the circle jerk.

I think I've got a pretty good idea of who to unsubscribe from.

Wow! I didn't even know it came out on the Amiga.

How much was Mind  Fighter on the left? Was it the Atari ST version?

I've got one of those.

Also this is on its way to me.  68040 in it. Lovely.
 

Just had an email from Analogue saying my pocket is being prepared for shipping.

At last 🙂

I do love his delivery of "Richard's in bits".

Gets me every time 🙂

I don't know. George was one of the people that highlighted the Vega Plus scam.

But why? Kim and Neil make YouTube videos about (mostly) retro computing. They do not normally make videos about 'the scene', so their posts on other social media seem to be absolutely fine.

Fair enough

I agree with what George is saying though. Why not make a video denouncing them.  They are youtubers. Videos are what they make.

I understand the internet is not always real life but LD and THGM should know that actions have consequences.

I hope Martin issues court proceedings against them for inflaming people to have a go at him or at least demonising him  I don't think they would have a leg to stand on.

Also where is Richard in all of this?

So far only Neil and Kim seem to have said anything about it. I have a lot of respect for them both.

That's exactly what I think. Big boys club.  Self interest at heart. No outsiders allowed.

Wonderful. Thank you. I will look at ordering something like that.

I do have a right angled screwdriver so should be OK.

A bit hard to see but the "head" inside is square

How do I attach a photo? Never been able to do it on this forum

Did it! 🙂

The silence of prominent UK Youtubers tells you everything you need to know about them.

Either staying on side or not wanting to get involved. Gutless.

I feel sick now.

Not sure if this is the correct place, but I picked up a Barcade 2nd hand yesterday. I'm pretty sure it has a Pi inside it because the storage says 27gb free which makes me think it has an SD card in it.

I want to remove the SD card to 1) back it up and 2) replace with a bigger card to add more games. Also one of the games I need to play (Rainbow Islands) doesn't work so I want to at least, replace the ROM.

It looks like there are some security screws on the back of the machine which are screws with an indented square head i.e. they look like you could insert a square alun key into them.

My question is, does anyone know what these are called? Are they just square headed bits?

 

So can I play the Cold Steel games in isolation and then play others?

I've got all of the Falcom games released in the UK but am not aure in which order I should play them. Ys games included
