Enjoy it Steve! That cartridge was indispensable when I had my C64 in the late 80s. Be sure to check out the machine language monitor as well. One of the nice things with the FC III is that it shows the memory locations where a program resides as it's loaded so it's easy to look at and manipulate.

Back in the day I only had the FC 1, so i'm a bit blown away by the FC3.

These are the joysticks we used when my mate and I played on his Amiga 500. Always liked these the best.

Picked up another one on the other bay....One day I will combine some of my partially working ones to create some fully working ones, but in the mean time....

FC3 is nice, however the GUI stuff is pretty useless. Good thing you don't need to use it at all.

I can recommend reading the manual for it, as there's many 'hidden' and useful features.

Nice programmer! That's the same one I use to flash my EverDrive cartridges.

Yeah, the GUI is pretty useless. The only time I did use it was to Freeze games to save to disk/tape and the calculator was very convenient. You could also do screen grabs, which was nice.

Am I the only one that uses the FC3 gui? Such a convinience when going through lots of disks. copying between drives etc.

Needs a bit more retrobriting but it already looks much better. Love the color of this Gameboy Pocket.

It was filthy and very yellowed yesterday when it arrived.

2 x Amiga 500 sold as spares for very little.
Both now working
- 1.3 rev 6 fairly yellow with memory expansion
- 1.2 rev 5 embossed logo case damaged

My GB Pocket was yellow when it was new so I don't need to worry much about it turning yellow! I do agree that the classic GB color that came on the one you have looks great in the GB Pocket format. I hope you are able to bring it back to its full glory.

Thanks. Mine is for this purpose:

Very nice! I've heard about the Vampire boards but this is the first one I've seen.

Do you have a mouse for it? I do not and it's very slow to move the cursor around with joystick or keyboard.
For reading directories and loading stuff, I use the F keys in BASIC mode.

Hahaha i wouldn't mind a yellow one but I have too many Gameboys :O

Well, all it really needs is a bit more retrobriting and it is missing its battery cover which I have been finding very hard to find.

It also needs new battery terminals. I can get those of a broken GBP.

[ColourWheel64]

Wow SaviorX. They look awesome! I don't own any Star Wars models.

yeah, tho it is a little pricey buying your game pieces one by one

but they are really quite nice

starting to get a good couple of fleets going, although i am still a little short on X-Wings (only 2) (they've been sold out since i started , had to pick up 2 starters just to get those 2 (+4 TIEs))

 

[ShambleS1980]

OK.
So i sat down and examined my wifes gatway piece of junk laptop and tried to figure out what it was about the stupid thing she liked so much..

after measuring the keypad / screen size / touch pad. looking at the button configuration..

I thought i figured it out so i bought her this laptop.

She loves it!

(its the lack of a numpad and the possition of the up down left and right arrows)
