Fortunately I was quick enough, and bought the last Guilietta imported into Ireland. Brand new in 2021. I loved it then, and I still love it now.

Well it's a compilation... But a good one. Loads of good songs from the year of my birth. Let's just forget the UK No.1 on my actual birthday (yesterday)

Okay, and I appologise for this but it's a plea for help! I have a "SuperPocket Go CM3" console that I bought in 2020. It runs from a Raspberry Pi CM3. but the SD card in it has failed. The maker (MyGameCase.com) is defunct. Has anyone got a firmware image I can write to a new card.

@nivrig.bsky.social I still have my Walkman from back in the 90's in my university and Trainee Manager days. (Those I had before that are long gone) This however still works perfectly, and looks awesome.

This weekend let there the retro. The newest machine out this week is a 20 year old PowerMac G5. More games on that than you'd expect.

I have not used my GameBoy (Pocket or Colour) or my NeoGeo Pocket Color since my TrimUI Brick arrived. A vertical handheld with the best screen I have ever seen in a device targetting platforms up to PSX and DC.

And yes, of course I have upgraded it with a Backlit LCD screen.

I still have it, and yes it still works (I now have a Micro SD card based flash cart with all the games on it.

I am once again on the lookout for a Mac Mini G4. With the plan of installing MacOS 9.2.2 on it. My current Mac Mini G4 "Silent Upgrade" has MorphOS installed on it's SSD (I replaced the HDD a long time ago) And I do not want to dual boot or remove MorphOS.
