My crappy blog

[retrohax.net]

Hi everyone,

This is kinda all-in-one post lol. Introduction and some juice too.
I am Drygol of Lamers and I run retrohax.net blog where I document all my work with slightly older computers. This is my hobby and I am getting a lot of fun out of it.
My goal is to work on every 8-bit 16-bit machine that was ever made. This might be kinda hard but hey! I need a good target lol

Below some posts with Amigas

Loved the A500 extreme refurb! You ever considered expanding your YouTube channel into doing complete videos of the restoration instead of only the blog posts? These types of videos usually do very well and are enjoyable to watch. Either way, cool blog and welcome!!

Thank you
Regarding YT, well, I am not feeling comfortable in front of the camera so it will stay in a blog form, but who knows, maybe someday

Most just have their hands and voice on. We're there for the hardware
Jan Beta has lots of good material for instance.

Your blog is btw far from "crap", it's the understatement of the decade. I stumbled upon it the other day from hackable or something like that, the extreme Atari restoration. Omg...

Hi - I'm a big fan of the Mouster and indeed all of you work I particularlly like your blog posts as I said i have 2 mousters and they are fab at mouse emulation I havent yet been able to get them to work as game controllers even with the 2019 firmware - can you tell me if you will be releasing an updated firmware in the near future and also do you envisage CD32 compatability with the mouster at any stage? - keep up the good work - regards ed

 

[retrohax.net]

Thanks for the warm words
Full CD32 support is on our ToDo list and it hopefully will be added with the next FW release. However, it is a bit slowed down so far as we need hardware to test it - CD32. Also, we've restarted work on the ThED project (and other projects too) and it eats a lot of time.

Hi,

I like your blog and it's great that you have an rss feed. I love rss feeds, I use them together with my Nextcloud installation to read news (works with AmiBay too ;-)). So you are subscribed now

Finally, after over 2.5 years The Tesseract project is complete.Details in the blog post https://retrohax.net/amiga-2000-codename-tesseract-final-part/

I don't think it is crappy Blog. It is interesting to read and to learn from it too.

@retrohax.net Why don't you create a blog here on AmiBay, like Amiga Forever has? Just tick a box in your user preferences to become an AmiBayer and you'll have access to make one.

Thanks for this idea! I'll check it out in a minute.
