Pues así a lo tonto me he visto este vídeo sobre cómo funcionaba la música de 8 y 16 bits en las consolas. Qué interesante.

Join me this Wednesday to explore the (mostly) forgotten game cities of the 8-bit era in a free and not-too-long lecture.

From the ZX Spectrum to the NES, and from Mercenary to Ant Attack this will be one for historians and designers both.

This #iconic #8bit #retrocomputer #vector #illustration is a #resolutionindependent #tribute to the most sold #computer model, everrr. Until 1988 #Commodore sold more #C64 #homecomputers than all #IBM compatible #PC's combined. While the #DTP #revolution was in full swing on #Apple #Macintosh #computers, some school #newspapers been created with #Pagefox back then.

Just found another STA$D400 tune lurking on my hard drive ready to be uploaded to Bandcamp: "Machine Code" - Unfortunately I only have all the other tunes as mp3. I'll probably have to transfer them from my own to an up-to-date tracker format and re-record them when the time comes.

IDK why our @pixelfed content is federated so badly. Might be the #FreeSpeech instance being blocked by mastodon.social or the shitty #Disney censorship approach of graphics.social.
Whatever it is, You'll find our latest #computergraphics published over there.

Next week, I will be delivering a (free) live lecture on the cities of 8-bit gaming.

Historic journey and exploration of forgotten worlds aside, I'll also be discussing the game urbanism and design of the era's cities.

Commodore 116 keypad repair:

First I tried to use this black goo called Keypad™️ Fix, but it didn't work. In fact, it made things worse. Maybe I did it wrong, but I tried twice, no success. So instead, I used a 3mm wide self-adhesive copper strip to try to make a new contact surface on the pads. It was a nuisance to apply, it's ugly, and who knows how long it will last, but finally one can type without being too annoyed.

I take it as a win.

I'm looking for a small (ideally up to 14" at most) CRT #TV that works correctly with my (RF) #PAL #SEGA #MasterSystem II at both 50 and 60 Hz (so it needs to have working #PAL60 support...)

Does anyone in Sweden 🇸🇪 has one to sell? 😅

ITs History!
The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.
