Nice. My A5000 Alpha is in limbo due to battery rot. I think it might be fixable but still nice to see these being produced.

Perhaps you need a mini coding challenge? What type do you like? Limited resource challenge? Elegant syntax challenge?2025 did mark the 40th Anniversary of the ARM architecture. I bet it has been a while since you did some ARM assembler? I'm sure we could come up with something for you? :-P

Supply and demand. So many are dead due to battery leaks. If you're prepared to get your hands dirty by repairing the leak damage they can be had very cheap.

It is such as shame that so many Archimedes are self destructing. A30x0, A5000, A7000, RISCPC all have batteries that leak.

What goes around comes around? OpenAI used everyone's work without permission to train their model in the first place!

Considerably more stable that PiSTorm?

I always think of this message here from Thalion, a tiny studio born of the demoscene and then developed a handful of beautiful and well-loved games such as Lionheart from which this plea comes from. This wasn't some huge corpo publisher but a passionate team, so I do feel for them.

Lionheart CD32 version? Heheh nope.

Is that true? It was my belief that Nintendo required all publishers to pay a license fee before they could publish games on their platforms. The license fee included the use the Nintendo name and logo in your product, ability to purchase Nintendo branded cartridges and importantly Certification.

Presumably the unauthorized is in reference to not paying Nintendo a licence fee to produce Gameboy compatible game cartridges?
