@jimblimey.com Have you tried giving your clamps a tweak? (I can’t find a reference now but I’m sure I read that you can get problems if the tension isn’t quite right).
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Ah ha! Thank you.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk There are only two truly hard problems in computer science. Naming things, remembering names, and off-by-one errors.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Do you happen to know the name of it?
@robertprice.bsky.social I tried compiling the code with BASCOM and it’s quite a good illustration of how much more speed you can get! Not quite as fast as ASM.
@fuzzweed.co.uk This is The Way!
@fuzzweed.co.uk Amazing!
@robertprice.bsky.social Wayhey! Very satisfying to see the project coming together, looking forward to the write-up. 👍
@mattround.com But those who love it are all the richer for it!
@vektxr.bsky.social I really enjoyed your article 😁
I agree that’s a great, semi-curated way to explore such a VAST software library. I also love delving thru random old stuff that just might be treasure, eg I found a letter between school pals saved in BASIC print statements on the B side of a mag cover tape. 💕📼
@sonicyoda.bsky.social Probably ate too much pizza.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Fresnel-web
@retrotechtive.bsky.social I like the fizzy sour ones the best! 😋🍬
@breakintoprogram.co.uk I’m not sure about debugging features but generally it seems they’ve come a long way in the past few years. I think SSF and Yabause are still/actively being developed, but the new kid on the block is Ymir.

@breakintoprogram.co.uk I’ve been reading/watching ChibiAkuma’s tutorials which make it seem more approachable than I’d assumed. Jon Burton’s GameHut demonstrates the deep magic (parallel/DSP stuff) but that makes my head spin!
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Heh I immediately zoomed in on NiGHTS! Did you ever do anything on Saturn/SH2? I’ve been thinking about dabbling with some 2D stuff.
@fuzzweed.co.uk Om nom nom nom (I like the blue ones)
@fuzzweed.co.uk I’ve never thought of counter-snorkering my printouts. Lovely stuff!

@gavtrdq.bsky.social [Accept new worse thing] [Maybe later]
@gamesblackhole.bsky.social That would be great. We Spectrum and SAM nerds could do with a re-stock too, please!
@gavtrdq.bsky.social That’s exactly the sort of insight that’s worth the price of a Kit-Kat.
@zxguesser.bsky.social RRRrrr frrrrr frrrrkk zzzrrk. Rrrrrl hrrrrrvv trrrrr srrrrrrt rrGrrrn.
