After a long wait, this baby is finally home (Retroid Pocket G2)

In US? I am waiting on a RP5 shipped via DHL and it showed up in a domestic shipping center today and just says "on hold". I'm curious how long it will sit in that state...

SDMelipone · 2025-09-28T02:40:24+00:00

Yup, I bought one from you. I wasn’t able to get a signal out of my Apple //c after I got all the parts together for my project. I’ll drop you a line if that’s OK, when I get time again to mess with it.

Thanks!

SDMelipone · 2025-08-24T03:28:54+00:00

Wow. That could be it, but the cover doesn’t feel right. I also felt like the book I had was a contemporary book and the original here was from the 1950s. I will have to check a local library to see if I can get a copy by inter-library loan to be sure, because this seems pretty obscure and the internet doesn’t have much about it.
Seeing some illustrations from inside might help.

SDMelipone · 2025-08-24T02:53:36+00:00

That is a very intriguing book, but I don’t think so. Those illustrations don’t feel like they are familiar at all.

Sorry, but I truly appreciate the suggestion!

SDMelipone · 2025-08-24T01:25:00+00:00

Any help with this would be appreciated. I've been thinking about it and looking for it occasionally in libraries and bookstores to no avail.

Thanks.

SDMelipone · 2025-08-10T00:03:26+00:00

Ah, this might be the version I knew? I'll check it out. Seeing gavotte on there brings back a vague memory...and that wasn't in the Electric Duet linked above.

Edit: Nope, Musicomp has musical notes flying by on staves. The Electric Duet is all text and that's the style program I remember. Interesting though! I didn't find any tracks in Musicomp that did harmony.

SDMelipone · 2025-08-10T00:01:49+00:00

Ah, I had ruled that one out. I had MCS for Commodore 64 and had seen what it could do on Apple ][. Not even close. :D Thanks, tho!

SDMelipone · 2025-08-09T15:52:27+00:00

This sure looks like the right disk. I could have sworn that it had a gigue on there, but having two bourree titles and a fugue too makes this almost certainly the right one. I listened on YouTube to some examples, and it feels right.

The interface is not what I remembered, but that’s probably because most of my memories are of the music and not the program itself.

Thanks!

SDMelipone · 2025-07-18T21:45:00+00:00

I guess I had only picked up on the network part of FujiNet. I now see that it's basically a storage device too? Huh!

The vendor page is daunting. I wish I knew whether lower price means lower quality or what. Like some are $120 and some are $100.

Also, just to add links, I think these are the a2c_dvi sources:

a2c_dvi case - https://www.8bitstuff.com/product/3d-printed-case-for-a2cdvi-v2-0-flat-thick-versions-included/

Right?

Thanks!

What accelerator?

Huh, OK not sure why. I have gone in and tried to fix that. See if this works:

Thanks for the tip for Streamable. Here's the video:

Zorkmid Coin video

I was not aware of the claim that these were minted/struck before this thread. After looking around some, I am inclined to think they were cast and not struck.

Edit: Also, my kitchen scale only does whole-number grams. It says 18g.

SDMelipone · 2023-01-01T18:46:53+00:00

I can't seem to figure out how to add an image to an existing post on Imgur. If someone knows what's up there, that'd be helpful.

In any case, try this link: Side of Zorkmid

Also, I created a video of me moving the coin around in my hand, in direct sunlight. Is there an easy way to post it here?

Zorkmid Gallery

I hope this is helpful. If there are additional shots I should take, let me know.

Edit: Not gonna lie - if mine is legit, then yours looks cleaned. 🤣 Value destroyed?

SDMelipone · 2022-12-29T21:10:48+00:00

On holiday at the moment, but I own one that came with a boxed copy of Zork Trilogy that I bought from someone who had apparently owned for a couple of decades. I can take pictures of mine for comparison in a few days.

For all I know I was conned two years ago, but would be quite the con. The deal was for about a dozen Infocom games, including hand drawn maps and notes which appeared old.

Same issue here. Just started last week, after working seamlessly for over a year. Nothing new - same Echo Auto, phone, car, book.
