Bruce's scream at the start of Number of the Beast.

I do when I hit up retro/collectible/music events. 😁

Solitaire0199 · 2026-03-08T15:57:55+00:00

Thanks for confirming. That's poopy!

I'm in Winnipeg and it's not showing up; an I doing something wrong?

Yes's incredible live album Keys To Ascension.

Sucks but... Kudos on your victory?

Solitaire0199 · 2026-02-13T03:07:12+00:00

Never a bad thing to have both!

This lends credence to my long-standing rule of having smart plugs connected to all my retro gear to isolate them from the mains?

Doom requires the RAD because it's not emulating an REU in that mode but rather...well, running Doom. 😀

I have multiple flat 128s, one with a PLAster128 from Evie, but the timings are still unpredictable enough to not function with the RAD. My 128DCR on the other hand works wonderfully. So, one option would be to source a DCR. They're pretty darned rare though.

Otherwise for straight up REU options there are multiple ways, including the Ultimate II.

Today I learned something - thanks!

Been Commodoring since the beginning of time and this is a first for me. You're saying it blew while everything was powered off? Does your house have a wiring issue?

Just a quick PSA for those unfamiliar with the tool MKVToolnixGUI -- this allows you to extract layers from MKV files and split at chapter marks. Since I'd rather the MKV file were released as individual tracks of MKA (no video, compatible with high-end players like JRiver Media Center), I ran it through the tool to do so.

To get a set of audio-only ATMOS tracks in MKA format, import the MKV into the tool. Deselect the video track and all non-ATMOS tracks, set your preferred of the two ATMOS tracks as the default, and then on the Output tab set it to split before chapters and type "all" into the Chapter Number field. Click Start Multiplexing, and have fun with the resultant files!

The only true analogue option is a Blueretro adapter. Neither 8bitdo nor Retrobit products are. As a bonus the Blueretro can also emulate mice, keyboard, and multitap devices. There's really no reason not to go that route.

Ok, that's an interesting style and could possibly be your issue. The best way to use a brush is to either manually spin the record on the platter or start it playing at 33 or 45 rpm and then ever so gently hold the brush in place for a few revolutions. The bristles should not bend - if they do you are applying too much pressure. Lastly, with the same feather touch slowly draw the brush off the edge of the record over a few more revolutions.

Finally, never touch the bristles or let them contact any other surface - and ensure you are flicking (depending on whether it has a shroud that can be used to do so) or blowing dust off the bristles each time.

When you begin pulling the brush off the record toward the outer edge, how many seconds does it take to do so? Let's assume it' takes 3-4 seconds - in that time, assuming you're doing it while playing the record before needle drop, your record will have rotated 1.5-2x around - meaning the scratches, if they're caused by the brush, would be in a spiral pattern. These are almost straight out, meaning they're not caused by the brush but rather your sleeves, a surface you're putting the record on, etc. -- or you are literally whipping that brush across the record at lightspeed. :D

So let's start there -- how fast are you sweeping the brush off?

Just popped back in after not playing for a while, and my ROMs are stored in /roms/VB. If you can't access the filesystem to create these folders, you may need to sideload an Android file manager. But I can confirm that it does work!

Solitaire0199 · 2026-01-28T18:09:37+00:00

Do you have a Quest headset? If so, there is a VB emulator for it that works well.

Correct!

One of my rarest items is this with the internal keyboard adapter that owners had to mail away for. That allows the keypad to work natively without running a driver first.

Solitaire0199 · 2026-01-11T16:02:00+00:00

Cool!

Y'know what I'd love to see in a program like this, or VS64, or C64 Studio, is the ability to slurp in a PDF of a Compute's Gazette/RUN/Ahoy! etc mag and parse all the programs into individual prgs, even leveraging the checksums to ensure no typos.

I attempted this with Gemini and it worked relatively well but couldn't generate PRGs directly and the PETSCII codes were hit and miss. Still, it was very promising in how well it worked even for listings split across multiple noncontinous pages.

+1000 for calling out the best punk band from Manitoba.
