Got my secondhand Kobo Libra Colour this week. I set up custom fonts (Lexend, Fantastique, Alice), KOReader with Date Time Plugin, transparent backgrounds, and e.Mote page turner for iOS/watchOS which I'm alpha testing. Speaking of clocks, I picked up a secondhand Spartus 1099 for $12. I like the large display size. It's sitting on a mousepad I found on the ground in the city that looks like a carpet lol

Got my battery and camera replaced on my iPhone 12 mini. Planning to set it up as a secondary media device. Testing KORG-10 on the Delta Emulator, which only supports up to NDS so I can't play KORG-10+ or KORG-12 at the moment. I replaced my DS Lite battery with a MegaBat800 from Helder's. It's running games again, but I still need to test how it handles long-term gameplay. Waiting to get a charger replacement first. After that, I'll also set up Twilight menu on an old R4 flashcard I have.

If you're running Windows and still using WinImage for handling basic floppy disk images, it is time to retire it. It served us well, but there is now a replacement called DiskImageTool that is superior in every conceivable way and is completely free and open source.

The latest version adds a small drag & drop feature I requested, and it's just the final touch that makes it a perfect replacement for me.

On the right we see the contents of the FAT filesystem.  Files can be dropped into the right pane to add them to the image.

#émulation #wine #GE-Proton
Si vous installez la dernière version de GE-Proton (10.28), vous aurez peut-être des erreur sur "xalia.exe" qui réclame DotNet48 (alors qu'il est bien présent).
C'est un composant optionnel (une GUI pour la config des manettes).
Dans GE-Proton, vous pouvez supprimer le dossier ./files/share/xalia et tout rentrera dans l'ordre.

Improving #MartyPC's video emulation with monitor emulation!

Instead of letting the CGA card's hsync and vsync outputs drive the display directly, we simulate a monitor that must lock on to these signals via vertical and horizontal PLLs.

This provides a semi-realistic 'bounce' when you change video-modes (needs a lil tweaking), but also means if you program an invalid video mode the screen will start to roll, like a real monitor.

a video capture from the MartyPC emulator showing a system booting, then a mode change to 40 columns and back, finally launching the game alleycat. With each mode change there is a slight bounce as the monitor regains sync against the video signal.

I feel like my generation got "skipped" by the emulation craze.

emulation is great for like, console games, but I didn't grow up on consoles, I grew up on windows 98. it seems like retroarch and dosbox have basically solved everything from _before_ windows 98, and wine/proton are good for most stuff from the post-XP era. but the games I'm most nostalgic for -- Zoombinis, Backyard Baseball, Artrageous!... it's a bit of a pain to emulate them, right? you can sort of run them in Wine but there's so much fiddling and it feels so fragile, I had a Lutris setup on my steam deck that completely broke with a Lutris update so I don't trust Lutris anymore, which means I basically have to do all the Wine commands by hand

does anyone here have experience with this? is there a dosbox-esque "plug and play" solution for win98 CD-ROM games?

Finally, the ridiculously talented @gloriouscow has decided making one of the, if not *the*, most accurate IBM PC emulators around isn't enough - and is now working on CC0-licensed reference book going into component-by-component detail of exactly how the IBM PC and later PC XT work.

"The PC Emulation Book" by @gloriouscow "aims to become a comprehensive guide to emulating the original models of the IBM Personal Computer". It's still a work in progress at a very early stage but already provides useful information for emulator developers and retro programmers.
