when i write 8086 assembly programs I often find myself relying on the REP instruction. i think that makes me a "repper"

the reaction of blue archive fans to criticism of their franchise/fandom and the "Love & Tolerate" movement of 2011 are the same picture. it's just bronies with a new coat of paint. i will not be taking questions

One of the complaints regarding WonderSwan homebrew development is that the console's unusual button layout makes it difficult to prototype game controls. What if you could use *the console itself* as a game controller via USB?

(Yes, this is part of the nileswan hardware!)

It appears that the Polish DRM-free anime purchase service Animagia has quietly shut down its operations at the end of 2024. Despite its barely functional storefront, it will be sorely missed as evidence that better movie distribution was possible.

In addition, Pilk Maker is part of a different Museum of ZZT Discord fad: the one around ASCII Maker Collection! (Of those, COVID Maker 19 stands out as topical late-2020 social commentary)

It's really, really cool to see the Digimon Official Channel on YouTube using the community-made WonderSwan consolizer!

(These horizontal streaks and three-column split are the giveaway artifacts. This isn't emulation or MiSTer, and this isn't the old TV Swan - second photo - either.)

Merry (belated) Christmas! As my gift to you, I'd like to announce CartFriend 0.2.0 - an update to the unofficial WS cartridge menu which brings a fix to the dreaded save corruption bug, WW support, and many improvements!

It's important to note that this is the first revision of the Mazovia 1016, as designed by IMM. There exist later batches manufactured using the same cases, but with random Taiwanese-sourced XT clone boards. They even made sure to strip out copyright notices!

Spent this weekend working on emulation of the Mazovia 1016, an IBM PC/XT clone from 1986 designed and built in socialist Poland using primarily Eastern Bloc components.

The old CATALOG.TXT files claim "The Underground Bugtown of ZZT" was the first game you made, though we don't have enough information to conclusively figure out if it was the first game you released - Prodigy is pretty much unarchived, so most of what we have are BBS reuploads. Hope that helps!
