FluxCaster build thread! It's a self contained Bluetooth cassette adapter specifically for loading games on to older systems. It's got a Schmitt trigger onboard to tidy up incoming data, will pause automatically for the C64 and has some other bells and whistles. 🤓

Patreon and channel members are finding out what the hell is going on here. I think I might need to lay down in a dark room after seeing this pop out of an Ali Express bag!

Normal (for me) service has been resumed, but on a different channel! Expect a mix of repair videos like this and the usual making videos all in one place. Saves you extra clicks.

I was there for this one and it was a fantastic 30 to 40 minute talk crammed into about 1 hour and 20 minutes 😆 Brian was great value though. Highlight was his opinion on the Atari ST. Excellent day.

NEW EPISODE : Back in the 90s, format wars were complex, the game you got might be very different to the one your mate got. Yesterzine investigates 2 such titles alongside the Amiga game that somehow became a SNES Exclusive. youtu.be/nOpv36-YNWw

Been heartening to witness the flood of people helping @morefunmakingit.bsky.social rebuild the Retro Hardware Discord from collective memory, after it got wiped out by a hacker. I wasn't in RHD 1.0, so if there's a silver lining, it's that new people like me just became aware of this community.

Retro Hardware Discord 2.0 is online. Originally 1600+ members before it was compromised a few days ago. Please join and help rebuild the community. discord.com/invite/szcYa... #RetroGaming

Ok. This will explain what happened, why, and what I have done to make sure it (probably) wont ever happen again.

Ok. I am gutted and really sorry to say that the servers are all gone. Over 1600 members on RHD and some lowlife deleted it forever with a click. Also stole a bunch of money from my account. I will make an update video and post that here when I get home. Whatever happens we are going to rebuild.

Seems Lee @morefunmakingit.bsky.social has had his Discord account hacked this morning and the Retro Hardware Discord (as well as others he manages) has been deleted as a result. People are in touch and he's aware. Here's hoping for a speedy resolution 😬

Here's something I've never worked on before! Probably the most powerful 8bit console of it's time?

Fixing a ZX Spectrum is now getting to be like putting on a pair of my favourite slippers. Probably novelty gorilla feet, but comfortable and I am only likely to fall down the stairs in them 50% of the time. But they are fun!
